They like to think that animals are killed for the meat (food, protein), not for their skin (clothing, fashion). Killing for fashion is considered by many as pure cruelty.<br /><br />Leather is versatile, it can be soft and also rough. It's the rough quality that makes it go well with your cowboy style man.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-39649173750171984322016-02-03T01:29:07.542+02:002016-02-03T01:29:07.542+02:00Lady Di Tn,

I like to hunt and fish and eat meat and wear both fur and leather. I have horse hair chairs in the dining room which are over 200 years old. I just love the feel of leather and fur and feel so very fashionable wearing them.
