Do lacto-ovo vegetarians wear leather and silk?

Question

Or is it ovo-lacto?

Answer 1

I'm a vegetarian and I wear leather, especially on my feet. I've actually never seen a pair of golf shoes that weren't, I'll have to look into that.

Answer 2

I say ovo-lacto because it flows more easily off the tongue, but either is correct.

My boyfriend is ovo-lacto (I'm vegan), and he does wear wool and leather. Sadly, silkworms are killed to make the silk, unless you buy peace silk, which is made from cocoons from which the silkworm has already broken through. I don't know any vegetarians who wear fur.

Answer 3

I have friends who are, and they do (sadly).

I'm vegan, and I do not. I don't wear silk, because they have to boil the silkworms alive to make it, and frankly, that's sickening, whether the worm is sentient or not. It's just... gross. Obviously, leather and fur are a no if you're vegan. However, I do use a feather pillow, but I've had that for years. I won't buy another feather pillow when it wears out.

Ughhhalsdka;fs :( I really want to switch pillows now.

Answer 4

Silk is made from worm products, not the worm itself, it does not hurt the worm. I dont know if a ovo-lacto vegetarian would wear leather--it depends on why they dont eat meat, there are seveal reasons. I guess it would depend on that and If they could afford it. Would they wear a MINK coat?

Answer 5

*Sigh*... Vegetarians can do whatever they want! Most are vegetarians because of their health. I am a vegatarian and I don't though.

Answer 6

they wear whatever they want especially if they live in America, you know the land of the Free

Answer 7

Me personally? Yes, and yes.
Mostly because I have to for my job. :)
