Thanks for the defense!
I knew before I even posted I would get some wise cracks from the dead animal flesh eaters. Your right, I feel the same about leather products ; my diet is vegan, sometimes I do make an exception but never for the sake of a meal! never. I think the leather for the Brooks saddles was from cows already killed as "food". Their throats were then slashed and blood gushed from their bodies while hanging upside down by thier feet; (some still conscious) then packaged as something called "meat". Sorry for the rant. Oh BTW, thanks for reminding me, have home made beets in the fridge from Sunday, forgot about 'em.
