> Hello Jason, > > I believe that all of us has gone through the same problem when we first > became vegan. Let me start answering your question by saying that we are > not a religion. We are free to decide what we want to do. Even though I > disagree, I have met people that call themselves vegan but eat cheese from > time to time. They have the right to eat cheese some of the time but I do > not think that they should call themselves vegan. They are vegetarians and > not vegans. > > If you decide to use the non-vegan items like belts and shoes, that is your > choice. If you want to give them away again that is your choice. You can > even destroy them but I personally disagree with that decision but it is > your choice. I even know new vegans that had a burial for their non-vegan > items. I personally believe that is a waste of resources and of animals > losing their life for these item. Is that burial non-vegan? No, again > that is your choice. So you have to decide for yourself what to do. > > My choice is to use the item until they wear out. I have been a vegan for > 17 years and I still have a couple of leather belts and maybe a couple of > pairs of leather shoes which I do not wear anymore. I will probably donate > them in the future. I have already donated most of my non-vegan items. > > I purchased a Nissan Leaf electric car a couple of months ago and it has a > little leather trim on it and it bothered me. I know that an electric car > does so much to help the environment so I gave in on a car with a little > leather. Did you know that all new cars use some animal products in their > cars? Please do not feel guilty with whatever decision that you make. > There is no right or wrong answer so make the decision that you believe > that is right for you. > > Doc > (By: Doc)
