Is it made of real leather? Then it may be leather from Great Dane, Rottweiler or Saint Bernard.
The fact that the Chinese have a different relationship to dogs is known, that they are served on local plates is also known.
But what happens to the rest of the dog, the meat is valuable everything else is by-products.
The 3 breeds mentioned above are particularly popular for leather production due to their size.
And how are leather products labelled?
If you want to know from which animal the leather product is made of you have to ask the seller.
You suspect it already, who believes that in our globalized world also all information flows smoothly is probably on the wrong track.
You can't really assume that the leather goods industry has higher standards than the food industry.
We are all tired of the regular scandals in the industry.
Investigations by state investigation offices or independent organisations such as Peta regularly find contamination by chemicals in the leather.
Not only do they harm the end consumer, but the greatest damage is suffered by workers in Third World countries.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 90% of tannery workers die under the age of 50.
It is not even certain that the shoe "Made in China" was also manufactured in China. Like the nomads, they always go where it is cheapest and where the lowest standards are.
At the moment this is mainly Bangladesh, Indonesia and more and more often Ethiopia.
I spare you the trouble of reading about the methods of the first step of leather production, the killing of animals.
If you want to do read it, all you have to do is enter the appropriate search terms in DuckDuckGo or other more unknown search engines.
To talk about leather as a natural product doesn't seem to be realistic anymore in the usual production of our time, rather it is a chemical cocktail with animal suffering.
I have an urgent need to finish this text off somehow positively, but how?
Since a positive development isn't even beginning to show, I hope the next product you buy is not real leather but imitation leather, cotton, linen or any other textile fabric.
If everyone contributes a little bit it makes a difference!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read!
Currently there is a petition aimed at preventing the dog meat festival in Yulin which was started in 2009 by Chinese dog meat traders.
