I’m searching for boots similar to these but vegan for obvious reasons. I love boots but haven’t had them for years because I couldn’t find any cool-looking.

I find a lot of satisfaction in not walking around draped in someone else’s skin like a ghoul but idk

I actually think it’s weird as shit to kill somebody, peal their skin off of their corpse, soak it in noxious chemicals, and then like make a hat out of it or whatever.
Like seriously that’s fucked up, the only reason you don’t think that is because you don’t recognise the personhood of the creature who’s skin you’re using.
They feel just like we do, they have families and friends, they play, they explore, they get scared, they feel pain. I don’t think they’re things to use.
Plus I’ve seen videos of dogs still alive while they ripped off their skin. I mean they aren’t actually even dead before they get brutally hurt with pain no one should ever dare to describe.
They do all of that. But they still make good boots. The world is brutal. Life is brutal. Everything isint daisy’s and rainbows. Ever seen a cat torture a lizard or a bunny for no good reason? That’s just life my guy. Life is death.
This sounds deep but actually is quite shallow thinking.
Life is many things, and can be many more further still. We could strug our shoulders at premature infants “life is brutual babies die” after all, or we could build incubators and give people hope.
We could drive past a car crash “life is death” why bother?
You can justify any monsterous act by looking for the bleakest things in the world and telling yourself it’s fine. That’s just faulty reasoning, I ask cats for moral guidance and you shouldn’t either.
Animal parts have utility. So we use them. You’re crazy to think otherwise.
I just hope you’re not like that in real life or otherwise have no friends bro. That thinking is so wrong. What do you even do in the vegan lemmy community with that thinking? 🤮 Where do we get as a society with people like you? It’s not even an option for me to use real leather! It doesn’t come to my mind! So don’t bring it up here. I asked for VEGAN boots! Lots of people suggested nice looking boots (thanks) and as they are sold, there is a demand for vegan boots. Also, I hope that most people buying boots with animal-leather just don’t know and need to be shown a brutal video to understand what’s actually on their feet.
I don’t know if they can see your response because I temp (don’t know how to infinitely) banned them a few hours ago. Idk what the deal is with people coming in here feeling the need to be like that and say that, but at least they’re not going to be coming back soon
Amazing justification for murder./s Please stay on topic next time someone asks where to buy clothes…
You know that’s not for “no reason”? They do it to stay alive. They don’t even kill the animals before they rip off their skin sometimes.
True. I can’t imagine a material that is more horrific than skin that isn’t yours
Weird. I couldn’t imagine wasting a good hide on nothing.

Go ahead and make me into some boots when I die. The fuck do I care I’m dead better than just rotting in the ground
You know they don’t collect the leather after the cows die of natural causes, right?

Mushroom leather is next to identical to Hyde leather but no environmental drawbacks and they can also be composted
I’m very skeptical about its durability compared to some good leather, but maybe! I would think that an animal hide would be fully compostable though as well
Look into tanning methods and you wouldn’t want to compost animal leather
