I haven't eaten meat since 2003 and I avoid as many animal products as I can so finding non-leather sporrans would be an interesting thing to find out more about. So threads like this discussing where to get non-animal sporrans and other items are good to see.

I won't argue any points (eg, about what industries are more polluting , or why people may decide this way or that, etc) here since it's not the place but it would be nice if threads like this didn't seem to gain some objections about vegetarian/vegan products.
Pugasso, sorry if I came across as "objectionable". I certainly respect peoples rights to make their own choices. That is why I chose to say "I don't get the thinking" rather than I object to it or refute it. I have grown up and lived around the livestock industry most of my life and I am a passionate hunter. I will always be an unrepentant carnivore. However, I have a Daughter-in-Law who came into the family as a Vegan. She is an intelligent and determined young lady whom I have great respect and affection for. We have had some spirited debates over the years but always with respect for each others opinions and choices.

This may seem unrelated to the topic and this Forum. However it is surprising how often I find myself completely perplexed by a point of view I see expressed here on a variety of subjects. However, I try and be respectful and remember that there are many many points of view. In expressing my own I don't mean to diminish yours.
