Ethical Fashion with Emma Hakansson (vegan), Part 2 of 2

The reality is that the leather industry in its internal industry reports actually refers to leather as a coproduct. […] And while it may not always be the primary product or the primary reason that cows are being raised and slaughtered, the amount of profit that comes from their skin selling is really significant. And it actually is a really big factor in considering how many cows are actually raised and killed. So absolutely, we should consider leather a coproduct rather than a byproduct.
