Reply to comment by Geistbar in BIFL chelsea (or similar) boots, but ethical (recycled or plant based leather) by audreylongwood

Apologies, it’s my nature. I’m not disparaging your choice to be vegetarian or how you spend your money. But from a BIFL standpoint leather has hundreds if not thousands of years of proven durablity in footwear. Your principles are admirable, those cows are going to be harvested regardless

Gotta be honest, it doesn't feel like much of an apology when you just outright ignore the entire purpose of my comment in replying to a question that you asked.

You can disagree with my thoughts, that's perfectly fine. I don't mind at all if people don't agree with me. But you asked a specific question for diving into the ethics of it, and I gave my answer to it. And your response just completely sidesteps that entirely.

Why did you ask the question if you had no interest in the answer?

Agree to disagree I guess. I’m not vegetarian so to me it’s more ethical to use the whole animal. I guess I asked it rhetorically, I started with respecting ops assumed reason assuming we could skip the obvious point a vegetarian/vegan would make for not wanting to wear leather
