BiteSizeVegan.org | Is Leather a Byproduct of the Meat Industry? @BiteSizeVegan | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Is leather just a byproduct of the meat industry? The answer may surprise you. Learn more about leather than you ever thought to ask, like: where leather comes from, what leather is made of (spoiler alert: there's a chance it's a cat or dog!), whether leather supports animal cruelty, and the environmental devastation and public health threat of leather production.

Bite Size Vegan aims to serve as an “entry point” for non-vegans to explore veganism in an approachable, non-threatening environment—distilling down complex concepts into accessible formats while providing cited sources for total transparency and to allow further independent research and evaluation.
By taking on the ample time requirements of researching the myriad of issues inherent within and surrounding veganism, as well as sorting through the ever-growing mountains of information, Emily Moran Barwick aims to increase both the accessibility of veganism for non-vegans, and the efficiency and effectiveness of current vegans’ activism.
