Farms: Leather in 60 Seconds Flat
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
Could you step into the life of a cow in the leather trade for just one minute? Most leather comes from developing countries, such as India and China, where animal welfare laws are either non-existent or not enforced. In India, a PETA investigation found that workers break cows’ tails and rub chili peppers and tobacco into their eyes in order to force them to get up and walk after they collapse from exhaustion on the way to the slaughterhouse. Buying leather directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses because skin is the most economically important byproduct of the meat industry. Leather is also no friend to the environment, as it shares responsibility for all the environmental destruction caused by the meat industry as well as the pollution caused by the toxins used in tanning. With every pair of leather shoes that you buy, you sentence an animal to a lifetime of suffering. Instead, you can choose from hundreds of styles of nonleather shoes, clothing, belts, bags, and wallets.

This shitty video shows nothing but the set of shortcuts not related to leather production or hardly related

This wasn't informational at all. This was just a compilation of poor treatment of animals in third world countries. When leather is mass produced in the western world cows are not treated like this. Okay it may happen, but not en masse. and we do what we can to prevent it. But this video portrays that cows are treated like that for their leather. In a thid world country where people can't read and write i doubt animal walfare is their priority if they even have the scope for thought

How should I dispose of my leather goods?
-
This is sad it's not funny and it's not good for people to do this 😤😤😤
-
well around here where I live how we get leather is they will take a cow and they will not toture it in fact it's treated like a king or queen but when it gets old and if the leather looks good they will take it to its stall they will put a gun to its head to get it out of its misery because old cows go through a lot when they are old and then they sell the meat so yeah... when I get older older like 21 I want to work at the ASPCA or even just at a vetinary

Man don't torture those cows. This is horrifying. Just shoot them in the head and don't let them feel the pain

This is horrible, but leather makes the best material for shoes in my opinion. It's breathable, hard-wearing, it's good for your feet. I live in a country where we have rain all year round, and cold and snowy winters. I can't wear Wellington boots all the time - my leather Doc Martens are the only shoes to keep my feet warm and dry. I can't wear cotton and canvas trainers all year round, hell I can't even wear them for an entire month.
Any advice? -
i wish they didnt have to suffer ....please help these animals!!
-
I don't get it. We eat so many cows in the west, what happens to that leather? I don't think it's eaten like pork skin is.
-
THIS IS HORRIFYING!
-
I don't know if you dipshits know,but in india NOBODY sloughters cows...
-
I can't watch this.... >.< I have cows and I never whack them or tie them up or do ANYTHING bad to them. The only things you can help stop it are don't buy leather and pray for them and when you see someone abusing an animal kick the ass!
-
I live on a farm with cows and we would never treat them like this and I don't know how anybody can
-
MOTHER OF GOD!
