Fashion With Compasion


So you've decided to give up meat, now what about leather.

Purchasing leather not only promotes animal cruelty but keeps the meat industry in business.

According to People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) meat sales have been dropping for decades, leaving factory farms to rely on their sales of skins to maintain profits.

PETA states that skins account for 50% of the total profits from the sales of animal by-products.

A vegetarian lifestyle goes beyond making changes to what you eat, it transforms the way you think, the way you live.

Just think about how many products out there are made from animal skins. Coats, car interiors, couches, pants, belts, purses, shoes, bags and footballs just to name a few.

So what's are girl or guy with a fashionable shoe fetish to do. Don't despair, stylish faux leather/sued and fur materials can now be found everywhere.

Moo shoes (http://www.mooshoes.com/) is one of the many companies popping up that caters to animal friendly fashion.

They opened there doors for business in 2002 as New York's first all vegetarian shoe shop.

Moo Shoes was founded by two vegetarian sisters who could no longer stand the lack of choices they had when it came to stylish footwear.

Moo shoes offers a wide variety of stylish cruelty free shoes. All shoes are made of 100% synthetic materials and are reasonably priced. Another popular option for animal friendly shoes is Vegetarian Shoes, (http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/) started in 1999 by Robin Webb.

When Webb found a synthetic microfibre material used in yachting upholstery that not only looked and felt like leather but unlike other plastics was also breathable, he new he was onto something and Vegetarian Shoes was founded.

Vegetarian Shoes offers a wide variety of stylish shoes for men and women along with belts, jackets and other traditionally leather made products.
