I am fine with it. Same as with any other animal product we eat or use.

If not, I am against it. Simple as.

Agreed.

I have leather at home and from time to time I eat crocodile.

Same, i prefer alligator though tbh, crocodilians are my favourite species of animal, like ash says if those 3 conditions are followed i have no problem with it. Alligator chowders nice!!

Bring me the real stuff every time!

Faux is readly available because of manufacturing, real is readily available because farming makes it so and animals are bred for the purpose. If they have a good quality of life and are humanely killed then what on earth is the problem?

I have leather jackets at home and a love them.

as for the snakeskin stuff,the footage i ve seen of reticulated pythons getting slaughtered is far from humane.in fact its ing horrific ,so i would nt buy it..
as a result we will never probably now see a truly giant snake like the 32 footers that occasionally existed.
i still eat meat though and have three leather jackets!

If they are not endangered and the killing is regulated is it that diffrent from wearing cow or lamb skin?

it is for meat. they are very tasty. much nicer than pidgeon. the lairhillock restaurant serves beautiful ostrich!

crocodile is nice too. theres a pub in glasgow (cant remember name) does croc steaks and strawberry beer! YUM!

First off in India cows are sacred and get treated very well.
Secondly "places like that" will upset some folk who have people from "places like that" in their family, such as myself.

I didn't say that the leather I have, say for my bike comes from a UK cow.
