I just have to comment that different people have their own views... if some people have decided for themselves that avoiding animal products makes sense to them, then that's their decision.

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.
