PRE-ORDER COLLEEN'S NEW BOOK at http://www.joyfulvegan.com/preorder

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. Enjoy!
