    Because my work requires leather boots and leather gloves.

    I’m mostly vegetarian but will eat invasive deer kill when provided, will eat meat off other people’s plates if they are going to chuck it (farmed meat, whatever it is out of respect for animal). I also live on a working community and there is a dairy of 2 cows and I have drunk milk and eaten cheese (despise dairies though). There is also goats and cows around, and I have 2 male ducks that we keep that were going to be killed. Kids have pet rats.

    While I wear leather, I can’t cross that line. Plus everything else means I’m not a vegan. Can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good though. If someone paid me in meat from an animal they slaughtered (I’ve been paid in kept beeswax before which is not vegan), I wouldn’t say no. Milk from the small dairy in a coffee, wouldn’t say no. Free food, probably wouldn’t say no.

    Hit me up in a DM/PM next time.
