Description
A dilemma a lot of new vegans grapple with is what to do with all the animal-derived products they have from their pre-vegan days — leather shoes, wool sweaters, down-filled pillows, etc. — and a question a lot of people ask is "is it vegan to wear / buy second hand leather, wool, silk, etc. In both cases, the harm has been done, but there are a lot of arguments for and against wearing these items, including being vegan means not wearing any animal products at all, so you can't be vegan and do so. even wearing second hand leather is giving tacit approval that it's okay to kill animals for their skin. second hand leather is more environmentally friendly than new synthetic leather. And so on.
