Now Vegan is not so much a diet as rather a lifestyle. That is, you try to cut animal products out of your life in general.
My question has to deal with clothes. Clothes that you know contain animal product and you woulden't normaly buy.
Would you buy them, or accept them second hand, even if they contain a animal product?
Personaly it seems stupid to me not to and rather buy an expensive new vegan alternative which just likly cost the enviroment big time.
Lets say you need a new coat. Your friend offers you her/his coat that they know you like the look of. They have two coats and the one they are giving you really dosent fit them so well anymore so its all kewl. And it is a pretty kewl looking coat. It just happens to be stuffed with like bird feathers or something like that.
Now would you take it or go buy a new one? (for sake of discussion you tried the second hand store im town but they only had leather coats left.)
Personal I'd take it. Id even buy animal products from second hand stores. Your not suporting the industry itself that kills and hurts these animals, and yet you are saving on waste created. Plus its cheap.
The only real issue I can see is with people who are all like, "eww, knowing only a thin sheet of fabric seperates me from bird feathers. I couldent handel it. I'd be sick!"
What would you do?
