Not horse abuse, Lambs for Coats

It worked for me:

This is the first I am hearing of lambs being used for coats. I've seen lambskin lining, but never seen a full coat.
The video doesn't really surprise me though aside from the premature lambs which I have never heard of before. I don't wear fur for many reasons, the animals being one of them and as far as I can tell, this is pretty much the same as other animals being used for fur.

Not to get into the middle of a fray but is there a difference between that and what is done to produce shoes, wallets, handbags, saddles, etc. Does it make a difference in the quality of life if the animal is 3 days or 3 years old when it is butchered?

No, I don't think so iridehorses.
Personally, the only leather I use is my horse equipment. I just don't like it in general. I don't use fur products but I'm not going to pour blood on someone who does. I don't really see a differance between the lambs and cattle being used for leather.
Honestly, I am more against animal products for fashion than food. But like I said, I am guilty of having a leather saddle.

Question though: Is the leather used to make wallets, shoes, etc off of cattle killed for food or are they raised like the lambs for leather? I really have no idea about that.

Seems to me the one picking a fight is you not me. When I said all species I'm talking livestock not people. Skinning people is illegal I in no way advocate doing illegal things animal or people I honestly never thought I'd have to explain the difereance between livestock laws and people laws.

Like I said I really see no differance between the lambs or the calfs from cows going to fast food places in the U.S. other then maybe somethinking since its a product they use its then fine? When I was in Korea they ate dogs many people thought it wasteful that the U.S. kills millions of them every year, burns, buries, or grinds them up then boils them to a liquid and uses them in household products. Its a huge world out there and thankfully not all places do things the same way as others.

I wouldn't have so much of an issue with the lamb for coats thing if the meat was used. I mean seriously, put the whole animal to use, such a waste.
I have stated my position on meat before, I am no vegan. I also do not live in Korea, if I did then I might care. I don't though, so I dont really care to hear about another country or their practices.
This is a forum, and when you type stuff people cannot always tell what you mean so you have to be specific, and you seem to contradict your self consistently. If you're not, well sorry, but thats how it seems to me.
I am leaving a thread I started. Thanks.

I think she meant she does not live in a country where it is common practice to eat horse/dog/other commonly domestic type animals. She does however live in a country where it is common practice to wear fur. So the country in question is killing the animals for America (amoungst others)

Or at least that's how I understood it.

county, you've made your point - there is no point in continuing.
