    Eh, it’s not like people are raising cattle for the purpose of leather. It’s a byproduct of the meat industry for the most part.

    Dropping leather isn’t going to do anything for the environment because those cows are still going to be raised and killed for meat.

      Leather is more of a coproduct than a byproduct, it makes meat cheaper than it otherwise would be.
