Sensitive and smart consumers prefer natural fibers from organic sources. Leather, wool, fur, sheepskin, silk: these natural fibers are renewable, recyclable, and sustainable.Sure there are "alternatives": synthetics made from polluting petrochemicals, and cotton and hemp, which are fine for warm weather but they won’t keep you warm in winter or on a chilly evening. They can also be extremely harmful to the environment. Since humans began domesticating animals 10,000 years ago, we have been feeding the waste from our food production - our table scraps - to domesticated carnivores such as dogs and cats. This continues today, on a massive scale. By one estimate, there are more than 54 million pet dogs in the US,(6) while another estimate puts the combined total of pet dogs and cats at 128.5 million.(7) No wonder the pet food industry is a major recycler of agricultural by-products!
Today, there are many other ways in which we maximize benefit from these by-products. Hides become clothing, feathers become quilts, bones become glue. And muscle and internal organs become feed for carnivorous livestock in zoos, circuses, marine parks, fish and fur farms. Mink consume over 20 times their body weight annually, foxes consume 35 times their body weight. In turn, these mink and fox, domesticated carnivores raised on hundreds of farms in over 30 US states, produce a biodegradable clothing product, fine oils and organic fertilizers for crops. Nothing is wasted.
