I can respect that. But the point is that leather, as you said, is a byproduct, not a primary product. It’s not like hunters clubbing baby fur seals. People are going to eat cows, might as well use the skins. Or would you have those skins trashed?
Don’t eat meat. Other people will. Enjoy leather.
No, I cannot enjoy the byproduct of the meat industry.
