Ask yourself what a cow ever did to you and compare the two
If people have good tattoos, the skin the tattoo is on should be preserved at death and framed. For family to enjoy.
Didn’t expect to meet Fukushi Masaichi here.
We already kill cows to eat them. Wearing their skin is just using more of their material.
Yeah exactly. People dont realize that leather is a byproduct of the meat industry. Most of the cost is in tanning and preparing it.
So trust me, there is no shortage of skin to make leather
Except it’s rarely the same cows
Humans. They can consent.
From the pov of a human or a cow?
Cow leather is more moral in my pov
Or is it about sourcing it from them after their natural death?
Even then cow leather seems more moralWhat do you base that on? A cow can’t consent to this.
Assuming it’s involuntary either way, cows.
There’s no shortage of alternatives, though.
It’s Rimworld, so making hats out of guests is kind of mandatory.
That’s so much leather tho
Digging graves takes time and space. Butchering gives resources. You do the math.
In Anomaly I feed them all to my Harbinger Trees for more bioferrite!
But if I had any cannibals, or my Ideoligion didn’t dislike corpses so much, I would probably do things differently.
I’d donate my body to a Tanner. Cows can’t make this choice in a we can understand at least.
Douglas Adams morally safe meat. Cows breed to be smart enough to agree to be food. To the point they will just pop off and off them selves … But don’t worry it will be in a very humane way… And don’t forget to try my rump it’s very juicy…
This is from the restaurant at the end of the universe btw
“How about a salad?”
“Oh, I know a few vegetables who’d object to that, Sir!”
Well, the human can consent, so that would make it perfectly ethical if they do.

They consented when they tried to raid me.
Why let baby foreskins go to waste is what I always say.
Why human love infant genital mutilation so much?
It’s far from universally loved.
I’m not sure what the green is vs the red. I would assume African cultures don’t support it mostly because it seems unlikely that they developed the same arbitrary (religious) surgery. That would however imply that Europe is a lot more supportive of circumcision than I would have expected. Either way I’m surprised.
Red is 90–100% circumcised. Green is 0–9%.
It’s mostly majority Muslim countries in red with the exception of the Philippines, South Korea, and the US
What do you think are the major religions in the continent of Africa? Traditional religions take up less than 10% of religious belief. Yes, less than 10% for all of them combined
Wow, I’m surprised at how much it skews eastwards in the US.
Wait… Don’t tell me you don’t know about the baby foreskin facials???
Baby foreskin facials are so wasteful. Why smear them on your face once and discard them when you can make a leather thong from them for years of use?
Could you imagine a baby foreskin fanny pack? That way it could hurt everyone involved!

Well in all seriousness, humans can consent and cows can’t (or if they can, they have no unambiguous way to communicate this consent to humans), so human leather is more ethical.
And when it’s the only way to keep their family from starving, for example, people will consent in droves, securing supply.
It’s ethical i would say, since humans are an invasive species
Jokes like this make me uncomfortable :( there’s legit eco fash positions like this. Invasive species rhetoric is bad applied to all species imho, because killing children for some sort of inherited sin seems unreasonable to me.
I appreciate you calling out this kind of stuff. It seems like in this instance, OP was just joking, but I’m deeply nervous at how many people are genuinely believing and propagating eco-fascist rhetoric nowadays.
i forgot people actually think like this 💀
We do have to ask if Malthusians are really people…
You have to be equal opportunity about it. If you start saying this kind but not that kind then it’s just racism ingrouo outgroup bullshit.
Sourcing leather from humans is always morally correct! You will get 50% off for bringing your whole family in!
Reminds me of a time in biology class
Q: What’s a resource everyone has access to?
A:
WaterSkin.
I mean that’s a screenshot from Rimworld so ethical leather harvesting is a small thing compared to prisoner organ harvesting (Source I play too much Rimworld)
You can do both at once >:) Step 1: Obtain prisoners Step 2: Harvest all organs that they can survive without, followed by the second lung or the hat Step 3: Chop up into snack size portions and enjoy your new hat materials.
Hey like the chinese did to their political prisoners who wanted freedom!
