Just because a person eats animals and uses animal products doesn’t mean they don’t respect them.
I prefer leather over its alternatives, as leather is a side product from the beef industry, so we use more of the animal. It’s worse now that cars come with vinyl seats (“vegan leather”) using petrochemicals and industrial products instead of the skin of an animal that was being killed anyway
So in the 80’s they had to have laws because cattle was being killed just for leather (which I believe was mostly in brazil where rain forest was being cut down for grazeland). As much beef as we eat it would not support all fake leather things being done as leather.

Indeed. Beef prices tell me they’re not the loss leader product, and leather is cheap, so I don’t think that’s a problem now
but again it has been and you mention cars using leather. Without the leather alernatives it very much would be a problem.
