sugar cane problem

Why does a company like sugar cane who are meant to be environmentally friendly use leather from snakes and other animals such as ostriches?

This seems wrong to me.

fair point. then again there's a difference between ethical and environmental.

Agree with Weed ethical & enviromental responsibilities are totally separate (although they could be considered linked - well actually you can't have one without the other).

I know it's not the same - but buy them & remove the patch. Or buy a model which doesn't use leather/skin.

If someone is against animal skins/ leather then they are not going to want to buy a product that has it on and remove it! That way they will be funding something that they disagree with.

Personally i love sugar cane jeans but disagree with them using the leathers/skins of some animals which they do.

I know that's why I said "I know it's not the same - but buy them & remove the patch." Obviously if you don't agree with it then you wouldn't buy it!! BUT it depends on how strong you believe in it. If Merle is like yourself - likes sugar canes but not the use of the skin/leather - then he could buy them but remove the patch. That way he is not showing his support for the use - if that makes sense.

Merle are you a vegetarian? How about you Prada?
