Back to OP's question, some vegetarians and vegans are good with riding leather saddles, some not, some if the saddle is second hand...

It's even possible to be a "living-off-the-land" omnivore, who only eats meat and fish caught or raised and killed by themselves - or milk, wool, honey etc from their own animals - who would not buy a Brooks saddle... but may try to make one themselves from a cow they slaughtered with their own hands!..
