Everyone hates lobbyists, and it is not just a waste product like they claim but on the other hand, the cows are not killed for just the leather. It is certainly an extra source of income and a reason for the farmer to have and eventually kill the cow.
But the main reason for slaughter is still the beef and leather is usually a very durable – lasting decades – and natural product and the alternative is plastic products that just cause more microplastics build up on our planet. A good pair of leather shoes can outlast like 5-10 plastic sneakers.
So maybe there should be a different set of rules for leather. I don’t know
