If they knew what it was? I would find it very surprising if anyone was OK with that.

- gambiting 5y agoWhy? How is that different than sitting on lamb or rabbit leather? Those are also very cute animals. You wouldn't be able to tell if you looked at it. My mum used to have a blanket made out of cat fur for a while.....it's just leather - It's only weird if you make it weird :-P Also, in general it's a very weird comparison, but I'm not even making fun out of the guy for refusing a ride - I just think it's a weird moral stance to take, I can understand refusing to buy some leather seats, but riding in them? Especially as a favour? What does that change in the world? Literally nothing.
- user-the-name 5y agoWho says it's a moral stance? You can just be grossed out by the thought of sitting on the skin of a dead animal.
- gambiting 5y agoWell, he did, explicitly, for one.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoI dont think the spesific animal makes a difference, that would be rather hypocritical. The only exception would be ivirt or like some threatened or near-extinct animal that you went out of your way to aquire, I know people who do that for handbags, and that is something i find appauling
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y ago> I dont think the spesific animal makes a difference, that would be rather hypocritical. You say that like people aren't often hypocritical. If I raised and slaughtered dogs for food you'd better believe I'd be hearing about it from people who eat meat with every meal!
- user-the-name 5y agoBut the specific animal does make a difference, if you ask nearly anyone. And yes, that is massively hypocritical. That is my entire point.
