We ought not to treat living creatures like shoes or household belongings, which when worn with use we throw away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.
Shoes and clothing damage our ability to survive naked in the wilderness.
We've forgotten to respect clothes and consider who made them and where the material came from. We've been encouraged to buy things and, if we don't like them, bin them. When I grew up, we'd repair things or alter them.
It's about keeping animals in our environment. They can't be on somebody's purse or shoes or something.
I don't eat or wear animals, but I never tell people not to - that's just my view.
I'm totally against animal cruelty. I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from any animal products.
No living being should have to endure conditions that you wouldn't put on your worst enemy.
To me, respect for human life begins with making it more difficult to obtain an inanimate object that is designed to snuff it out.
Nobody likes to throw stuff away. It's just antithetical to our sense of being a person. But we're all habituated to that way of living today.
I'm not one of those people that wears something once and tosses it aside. I wear my shoes until they beg to be thrown away. Parting is such sweet sorrow - and then it's onto the next pair.
