Yes!
Depends on the cow and the human.
If a cow is a dick and harming other cows, moral.
If the human lives a modest life and pursues charitable acts to make themself happy, immoral.
I feel like if a child with a similar level of cognition as the cow harms other children, most people will say they have no moral agency yet, and will still see harvesting their leather as immoral.
There are two ways to resolve that inconsistency…
Finally, humane child slaughter
Ah yes, I always make everything from both
Depends if your pawns get rebuffs for wearing human skin clothes.
Gotta make it a tenet of your tribe’s religion.
Sourcing leather from humans is always morally correct! You will get 50% off for bringing your whole family in!
Reminds me of a time in biology class
Q: What’s a resource everyone has access to?
A:
WaterSkin.
Well, the human can consent, so that would make it perfectly ethical if they do.

They consented when they tried to raid me.
It’s Rimworld, so making hats out of guests is kind of mandatory.
That’s so much leather tho
Digging graves takes time and space. Butchering gives resources. You do the math.
In Anomaly I feed them all to my Harbinger Trees for more bioferrite!
But if I had any cannibals, or my Ideoligion didn’t dislike corpses so much, I would probably do things differently.
Cut/tan/stain/stamp the rich!

I mean that’s a screenshot from Rimworld so ethical leather harvesting is a small thing compared to prisoner organ harvesting (Source I play too much Rimworld)
Hey like the chinese did to their political prisoners who wanted freedom!
please build shelves
I think dead people don’t need their skins. Maybe expand to prisoners, and maybe allow poor people sell their skins for example to fund their children’s education etc.
During war times would be very good for the markets to allow skinning deceased soldiers or civilians, this would promote use of some chemical weapons that cause the enemy to asphyxiate or whatever in favour of terrible weapons that rip humans apart.
We could help to solve the issue with overpopulation in developing nationsShit why haven’t we thought of this before???
Human leather bound books!
Why let baby foreskins go to waste is what I always say.
Could you imagine a baby foreskin fanny pack? That way it could hurt everyone involved!
Why human love infant genital mutilation so much?
It’s far from universally loved.
Wow, I’m surprised at how much it skews eastwards in the US.
I’m not sure what the green is vs the red. I would assume African cultures don’t support it mostly because it seems unlikely that they developed the same arbitrary (religious) surgery. That would however imply that Europe is a lot more supportive of circumcision than I would have expected. Either way I’m surprised.
What do you think are the major religions in the continent of Africa? Traditional religions take up less than 10% of religious belief. Yes, less than 10% for all of them combined
That’s fair. I forgot that we colonized them a little bit less than respectfully.
Red is 90–100% circumcised. Green is 0–9%.
Wait… Don’t tell me you don’t know about the baby foreskin facials???
Baby foreskin facials are so wasteful. Why smear them on your face once and discard them when you can make a leather thong from them for years of use?
because of the meat industry, i think its more ethical to use leather than let it go to waste. it lasts a long time and can replace a lot of other textiles that would need to be replaced more.
Yeah, just like we should eat more meat. Meat is just a waste product of the leather industry! Eating meat helps stop climate change because then we dont need to eat plants that are mono culture that use up space of trees.
And the good thing is, when demand for (human) leather is higher than supply, people will just breed some more humans, keep them on farms, use their labor and sell their leather. With nothing going to waste, just the beautiful circle of life.
We’ve gotten quite efficient at doing that so there’s plenty opportunity to have more jobs, make a profit and to provide a product at an affordable price point, at the same time, all with human leather farms. Just have to compromise on welfare and sustainability step by step for more profit, but humans are already really great at ignoring such things when it’s advantageous to them, so most won’t ask any pesky questions anyways. We just have to normalize human leather (from factory farms) and everything will be great.
People need to realize this more.
Its true, but on the flipside if you gave the meat industry less ways to recoup cost of “waste” then it may push meat prices higher and move people to plant based diets, thus removing need for amount of animals
Vegan leather. Not made out of vegans. Actually made out of polyurethane: oil: check, microplastics: check, disposable with a short usable life: check!
Leather also emits microplastic, it’s just not a monomer we call “plastic” but its going in your balls too!
