AND if you were looking to get a specific type of leather you would do it by picking the breed. You have any idea how much beef comes from a 1400lb cow??
And since you are already on your "lynch the omnivores/leather/fur" streak these are 100% organic, pasture grazing cows, that literally frolic through the meadows and fields full of clover, alfalfa and hay. So take you uninformed know it all ass and go home.

On your mention leather perpetuating the murder of cows, you yourself also perpetuate the murder of cows, chickens, even in some instances dogs. You obviously buy goods, you have a computer that is on the internet also, well that computer you are using right now and or even parts of it were probably made in China, Taiwan, etc and good old Shing sitting in the factory might of just got off lunch and enjoyed a nice dog on a stick. The bike you ride, yeah i can guarantee some part of it was made by someone eating an animal. YOU yourself by your logic perpetuate the killing of animals by buying and using products and services that are brought to you by fine people that eat meat.
