GIFTED & THRIFTED Leather, Wool, Angora,.. What Should Vegans Do?

Disclaimer: I don't advertise the boots I show in this video, nor do I promote buying leather, silk, wool, down, angora, cashmere or any other material/substance driven from animals and/or that contributes to animal abuse/death. BUT since I'm environmentally bias and advocate for the use and reuse of already created items, I don't see any harm in buying animal driven garments in second hand shops, because it doesn't support the abusive industries, nor require new materials to be used in their creation, therefore no harm is done to the animals and the environment. I also want to mention that animal driven material in clothing is more practical in colder climates (such as where I live) and if not for the NOT so warm season I probably wouldn't own or be gifted any of the leather, wool or angora items I own, nor have a desire to purchase them in a thrift shop. Anyway, please don't be discouraged to wear clothes that you already own and that happened to not be vegan or buy some from the thrift ship if needed, same goes to donating and selling them as you wish. Although burning or trowing your old garments into the bin is one of the worst options, please DON'T doing that. Idealistically try to buy recyclable, environmentally friendly, organic clothing, that would be awesome!:) Learn from your mistakes, make the best decisions available in the present moment. Do what works best for you. PEASE OUT;)
