Yet you allow them to continue to sell leather? They're still exploiting animals, or is it only the fluffy cute ones that matter?

As much as leather is wrong, it should be campaigned against in a seperate manner to fur.

Animals are farmed solely for their fur, so taking out fur shops will take out the fur industry in it's entirety. The deceased animals on fur farms aren't exactly sold to butchers to bring in profit to keep the industry going, but are fed back to the other animals as waste. So there's only one way to take out the fur industry (the stores, with there being none of the fur farms in the UK) and no back-up means for them to make profit and keep functioning.

The leather industry, on the other part, goes hand in hand with the meat industry. One another keep each other functioning, when sales go bad in the other aspect. Leather/Suede is a by-product, coming as an on-the-side item that can be sold for profit following the animal's carcass being sold for meat. If the leather industry was failing, those animals would still be killed and their skins simply sent off to the incenerator to make our electricity, alongside the offal and off-cuts. Secondly, if the skins could still be sold in a specialist market, like most UK fur is done today with specialised furriers, but not making much money the meat industry finances would simply hold it up and keep it continuing. The way to solve this is by shutting down abattoirs and getting people to go veggie / vegan.

Before making pointless and un-constructive comments, learn a little bit about the industries you are trying to take on.

"While many people think it is cruel to kill animals for their fur, leather remains a popular consumer item, even though both products require the killing of animals. Most consumers mistakenly assume that leather is merely a by-product of the meat industry, and that buying leather clothing does not increase the number of animals slaughtered. However, this belief ignores the economic interdependence of factory farming and the leather trade.
In reality, leather is a co-product of the meat industry, generating significant profits for both factory farms and the leather trade itself. In fact, without the lucrative sale of animal skins for leather, factory farms would not even be able to turn a profit by selling meat alone. Ultimately, buying leather products subsidizes factory farms while providing financial incentive for them to produce more leather. "

"Although Hindus hold the cow in special esteem, and Jains regard all life as so sacred that they try to avoid hurting insects, investigations show that all India's major communities are complicit in the cruel treatment of cows.

Hindu farmers allow their cows to be taken for slaughter. Muslims butcher them using primitive techniques in appalling conditions. Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Muslims and Christians all profit.

And because much Indian beef finds its way to the Middle East and Europe from Kerala and Bangladesh - "we took up a lot of the slack from Britain caused by mad cow disease," says one authority - and leather products made from Indian cow hide are sold in High Street shops such as Gap, the British consumer is also unknowingly benefiting from the abuse."

Yes I suggest you learn a bit about the industry. Fur is an easy target, leather isn't. Stop with all this "I know better than you" bollocks.
