Leather?

Ophie

Does anyone know....

a) If this is the right place for this question... if not can you let me know where I should put it

and

b) I am trying to find some leather from animals who have died of old age not killed for meat. Well ideally I am trying to find a sofa made from this leather. Does anyone know if such a product actually exists? If so... could you point me in the right direction of where to find it and buy it?

Ta!

Ophie

crap.... going to have to bump me own thread as you lot are all posting too much!!!

So instead of killing animals for food, you want them to kill animals for your sofa?????


You nutter.

Idle, sweety-pie, want to re-read my post letter by letter, word by word, and then look at what you have written.

Bless you and your alcohol fuzzed brain.

I should imagine, if you could source such leather, the cost would be extortionate.

The best would be to put this in the Green board and/or in the I Wanna Do It or Buy It. There might be someone there who knows how to go about getting this stuff, if it is at all possible.

Sorry, this sounds a bit morbid to me. Fancy hanging around waiting ages for an animal to die of "old age" possibly living on in agony for weeks just so you can have a "humane" sofa. Surely it's more humane to prevent needless suffering by putting the poor creature out of its misery long before this point is reached?

While I do not presume to speak for Ophie, I think you'll find that this would be acceptable her. What she means is that she doesn't want skins from animals just killed for our convenience (food) or fun (sport).

i can just see you finding a farmer who waits till his cows have died of old age!:rolleyes:

perfectlypoor

she doesn't mean keep the animal in pain she just means use the animal once it has died of natural causes not kill it for that purpose
