Leather without hair somehow isn't nearly as evil as leather with the
hair attached.


Nah. *It's just that it's easier to attack country clubs (where the
furs are) than motorcycle clubs (where the leather is).


The Harley biker gangs certainly are more intimidating than the
emaciated runway models.

But my understanding is that those who vehemently protest the hairy
leather while remaining silent on the hairless leather (maybe even
wearing such to their protests) claim to see a huge distinction
between the method of killing. They oppose the drawn out agonizing
pain involved with leg-gnawing traps, while being ok with the quick
bolt shot between the eyes.

I see their motivations to be driven more by valuing foxes and such as
being cuter than cows, while at the same time valuing their pleasure
in eating steaks and hamburgers far more than they value the lives of
the cows.

This angle is very similar to those who are outraged by horsemeat, but
don't think twice about going through the McDonald's drive thru to
grab a Big Mac on their way to the rally.

And mink farms, which don't use leg traps, approach (but not very
closely), the terrible conditions of poultry farms.
