Well, the human can consent, so that would make it perfectly ethical if they do.

They consented when they tried to raid me.
Why let baby foreskins go to waste is what I always say.
Wait.... Don't tell me you don't know about the baby foreskin facials???????
Baby foreskin facials are so wasteful. Why smear them on your face once and discard them when you can make a leather thong from them for years of use?
Why human love infant genital mutilation so much?
It’s far from universally loved.
Wow, I'm surprised at how much it skews eastwards in the US.
I'd donate my body to a Tanner. Cows can't make this choice in a we can understand at least.
Douglas Adams morally safe meat. Cows breed to be smart enough to agree to be food. To the point they will just pop off and off them selves .... But don't worry it will be in a very humane way.... And don't forget to try my rump it's very juicy...
This is from the restaurant at the end of the universe btw
"How about a salad?"
"Oh, I know a few vegetables who'd object to that, Sir!"
Well in all seriousness, humans can consent and cows can't (or if they can, they have no unambiguous way to communicate this consent to humans), so human leather is more ethical.
Sourcing leather from humans is always morally correct! You will get 50% off for bringing your whole family in!
Reminds me of a time in biology class
Q: What's a resource everyone has access to?
A: ~~Water~~
Skin.
From the pov of a human or a cow?
Cow leather is more moral in my pov
Or is it about sourcing it from them after their natural death?
Even then cow leather seems more moral
We already kill cows to eat them. Wearing their skin is just using more of their material.
Except it's rarely the same cows
Yeah exactly. People dont realize that leather is a byproduct of the meat industry. Most of the cost is in tanning and preparing it.
So trust me, there is no shortage of skin to make leather
It's ethical i would say, since humans are an invasive species
Jokes like this make me uncomfortable :( there's legit eco fash positions like this. Invasive species rhetoric is bad applied to all species imho, because killing children for some sort of inherited sin seems unreasonable to me.
i forgot people actually think like this 💀
We do have to ask if Malthusians are really people...
please build shelves
Yes!
I mean that’s a screenshot from Rimworld so ethical leather harvesting is a small thing compared to prisoner organ harvesting (Source I play too much Rimworld)
Depends if your pawns get rebuffs for wearing human skin clothes.
Gotta make it a tenet of your tribe’s religion.
Ask yourself what a cow ever did to you and compare the two
Depends on the cow and the human.
If a cow is a dick and harming other cows, moral.
If the human lives a modest life and pursues charitable acts to make themself happy, immoral.
I feel like if a child with a similar level of cognition as the cow harms other children, most people will say they have no moral agency yet, and will still see harvesting their leather as immoral.
There are two ways to resolve that inconsistency...
because of the meat industry, i think its more ethical to use leather than let it go to waste. it lasts a long time and can replace a lot of other textiles that would need to be replaced more.
Yeah, just like we should eat more meat. Meat is just a waste product of the leather industry! Eating meat helps stop climate change because then we dont need to eat plants that are mono culture that use up space of trees.
If people have good tattoos, the skin the tattoo is on should be preserved at death and framed. For family to enjoy.
Cut/tan/stain/stamp the rich!
Humans. They can consent.
Ah yes, I always make everything from both
