Well, I can't say I'm animal-skin free. Many of my shoes are leather. But I'd like to think that UGG doesn't just kill sheep for the skin alone and the meat isn't eaten....like lamb chops will always be sold and eaten - I'm always a supporter of the fact that if meat is eaten, the skin should be used too and maybe the bones as well if possible. I wouldn't consider it cruel if the animals were killed humanely and the meat was eaten and the skin was made for boots per say....I'd be a hypocrite if I said otherwise since as I said, I do wear leather shoes. But at the same time, you know that I'm an animal lover and don't support any animal cruelty.Karen Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242109930764582496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492597756850688826.post-89185087134622081412010-12-14T13:46:32.261-05:002010-12-14T13:46:32.261-05:00@Angeltea7: Yey, I'm glad you're on my sid...@Angeltea7: Yey, I'm glad you're on my side on this!

If you think about it anyway they would end up dying for meat and the bits they use culd be taken from sheep that are already dead/ dying. So in a way they are just using all of the sheep up so then none is wasted. Also people wear leather all the time without relasing and people eat sheep even though the meat has been chopped up.
