Vegans that are vegans for ethical reasons aren't opposed to animals dying naturally and their bodies finding other uses. They're against killing animals that would otherwise be alive.
Are they ok with using leather, furs, or something like an ivory tusk from animals that died naturally? I thought those kinds of animal by-products were against the rules no matter what
reply
Probably, assuming they felt confident that they died naturally.

You'd think, but many vegans aren't.
I think it's fine, from a vegan standpoint, but they'll talk about how that stuff is supposed to circulate back into the ecosystem.

Ah I can image that

I have a friend that doesnt like to sit in vintage leather cars.
He also comments on my redwing boots.

i guess that's the hard part, is it ok if the animal that dies naturally lives on a farm? if not, it would be very difficult to find a dead wild animal before another living animal made a meal out of them
