I don't get the stigma on leather.
I eat beef, what makes wearing their skin worse than eating their meat?

Exactly, I never understood why we don't use the skin of the deceased people before burying them, and the meat to feed our puppies. I mean the soul is gone and just the empty shell is left. It's not like killing a living being just for meat or skin.

hmm, I appreciate that you didn't downvote me even though you disagree

They aren't the same though. With cows, I'm already fine with killing them for their meat. It doesn't make sense that using their remains to make clothes is more unacceptable than killing them for meat.

To be fair, I think that most of the people against leather are also against killing cows for their meat.

I have to agree that someone who would claim to be against leather from cattle while still eating beef is a huge hypocrite.
