Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I am vegan so I use nor wear anything made from animal products or by products or tested on animals. But I wanted to pass this information onto all of you for those that don't want to inadvertently buy these products. I was just reading today in " The Idiot's Guide to being a Vegan " , pg 311. Learned a lot of stuff that I hadn't known. I knew that fur can be labeled as rabbit, fox, etc and if from China or other countries it could be from a dog or a cat. Nasty. However, leather manufacturers around the world sometimes use skins from other animal such as cats, dogs, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, deer in their production of their leather products. Truth in labeling laws are virtually non-existent for leather products and those products are imported to the U.S. linda " Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it.
