Nope, that's the same faulty reasoning people use to justify purchasing leather. As if making the killing of cows more economical is somehow a good thing, and acting like demand for the product itself isn't going to cause companies to act to meet it and increase net animal death. It's completely naive.


Right. Weirdly, buying leather actually causes more cows to be eaten (because increasing the profit available causes the price of beef to decrease).
