This is a random question for vegans.
When I worked at a summer camp my fellow counselor was a vegan and she threw away all of our stored supplies for leather working and things using animal products. We weren't planning on buying any more, but I thought it was a complete waste that she would just throw it all away.
I'm an environmentalist, but I care more about human waste's effect on the environment than animal rights. It really offended me that she would just throw it all in the trash rather than let someone else use it. I understand why she wouldn't want us to buy more because that would be promoting animal killing, but if you already have it, it's not doing the world any good to not use it. I don't think she should have used it herself, but it was an outdoorsy camp there were plenty of other uses for the leather and animal skins.
Would you have thrown away the animal products just because you don't like animal products?
Just curious about how other vegans feel about this.
