Leather is most often a product of an animal that is being slaughtered for its meat AND hide.
Fur is most often a product of animal being slaughtered for its hide. A cosmetic thing, not a survival thing.
But whether one chooses to consume, wear, or make a pet of any living being, it shouldn't be so fucking much to ask that those animals be given a little respect. I eat meat and I own leather goods, but I don't want the animals' lives to be full of pain and torture and I sure as hell don't want them skinned alive. I'm far from being a perfect human (I eat KFC on occasion), but I at least I have some level of understanding about our bond to the other furry fuckers wandering this planet.
