Faux Fur, Faux Leather, Faux Meat: Vegan Thumbs Up Or Thumbs Down?

While searching VAP for some Thanksgiving recipes, I stumbled upon a post I wrote last year entitled Faux Meat, Faux Fur, Faux Vegan? At the time I wrote it, I was analyzing my feelings about having just served the faux meat roast which was at the center of my family’s Thanksgiving table a couple of days before. Naturally, I began asking myself other questions pertaining to the use of faux animal products. 

Does wearing faux furs, animal skins, or leather clothing and accessories promote the idea that wearing real fur coats, animal skins or leather products is ethical? 

Should eating faux meat be desirable in the world of a vegan, or does it send a message that it’s okay to kill animals for their meat? 

Are faux fur and faux animal products really that appealing, and why do so many vegans use or wear faux fur, skins or leather? 

How do I really feel about the whole matter?  

Since I believe that these are interesting questions, I decided to re-post my article. I would truly love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the subject, so feel free to leave comments below.
