hi. we all know that slowly many animals are getting extinct . men are killing these innocent animals for his own selfish reasons. government is doing their duty by controlling poaching( i hope so!!). but we citizens can help save animals by saying no products made from animal skin. have you bought any products like this? please stop purchasing such products.

Well i don't use animal products intentionally but i accept that sometimes without knowing about the contents of the product i do use animal products.But i feel that these products should be banned as i also have a pet and i love him a lot.

Yes, I do wear products made of animals skin. But I think that's not what you mean, because these leather goods I use are made of cow hides. Cows will get slaughtered anyway, if not for skin, then definitely for beef. So I find it right to use the skin of these animals too, because otherwise it would be wasting of resources.
But if we're talking about the skins of some wild animals, like tigers, panthers, bears, foxes, whatever else, it's a different story. I am against killing these animals (especially rare ones) for fur. I also don't support killing seals in such large quantities, like they are getting wasted now.

hi! I only buy shoes from animal skin, but I actually have never think of it till now, because maybe I don't believe that they will stop killing these animals. well, if i am sure that they will or that at least one animal will be safe if i stop buying animal skin products, then I will stop!

Are you serious ? I can't wear anything else that leather shoes and cows are not getting extinct.
I'm wearing a belt in camel's leather : I bought it as a sustainable product to help people in north africa. I'm against any product made with skin of savages animals, but domestic animals are furnishing leather, wool, fur to the humanity since thousands of years.

no ksmita I would never purchase products made from animal skins, not since I saw this video of men killing baby seals for their hids and that made me ill. I saw those dear little faces and thought why are they being so hideously cruel. who needs those skins? Leave them grow up and be big seals. that really made me aware
of what men have been doing with animals. really ugly.
