I guess I should have have said, I don't kill with intention. I don't eat any animals, and I am working toward being a vegan, though that is difficult to do when I have a livingroom full of Thomasville Leather! Then again, I did buy it 8 years ago, so...nah, it still isn't yard sale yet. It's that lifetime type stuff. I digress... If they're in good condition, I could help you get rid of them.

Victor, mostly vegetarian but definitely not vegan. Mostly vegetarian? Vic, c'mon. Pregnant or not? At least eat a big animal which feeds many and try to avoid shrimp because many of those are killed. None of it is good for ME, but His Holiness says to at least eat a large animal which feeds many. He has to eat meat from time to time for health reasons and he eats large animals when he does. You will be the first to know when I see the furniture. I'm already tired of it, but my husband will kill me! I won't even say how much this stuff cost us. |

I don't do dogma. At least eat a big animal which feeds many and try to avoid shrimp because many of those are killed. When I do purchase animal flesh, I choose, if available, those that are raised and killed humanely and as organic as possible. I do love shrimp though. Holiness says to at least eat a large animal which feeds many. He has to eat meat from time to time for health reasons and he eats large animals when he does. I don't see why anybody would *have* to eat meat for health reasons. The only essential nutrients meat provide are certain aminoacids, which are available from non-meat sources. You will be the first to know when I see the furniture. I'm already tired of it, but my husband will kill me! I won't even say how much this stuff cost us. I'd love to have leather furniture, but with all our cats it would be impossible to keep it looking good for long. They are very good at scratching only on their furniture, but they do have claws and the do use them for traction when racing like wildebeasts in the Serengeti. Cheers.

I've been accused of being a fundamentalist more than once! I don't do dogma either, but I think if I ate meat I wouldn't call myself mostly vegetarian. I don't see why anybody would *have* to eat meat for health reasons. The only essential nutrients meat provide are certain aminoacids, which are available from non-meat sources. From a Tibetan Medicine perspective, there are certain properties which contribute to the wind energy, and the central channels, etc. It's complex, but he follows his Tibetan doctors' advice. It may stem out of the mere fact there is not much other THAN meat in Tibet, particularly in winter. Tsampa and yak. I'd love to have leather furniture, but with all our cats it would be impossible to keep it looking good for long.

Victor, off to yoga We had an 80 pound dog who lived on the couch. This leather is not ordinary. It is very heavy and very resilient. No cat nail could penetrate this leather. I do remember before our 14 year old kitties passes away they would run like wildebeasts in the Serengeti over these couches and not a scratch. Om Shanti |

Victor, off to yoga Going off on a different subject here, we replaced our fabric couches with leather in January and our cats (4 of 'em) rarely get on the couch any longer. The dogs (papillons) really love the leather, though, and sleep almost exclusively on the back of the couches. They seem to like the noise it makes when they jump up on it. I've been surprised how the cats avoid the couches now. -- Gary Brady Austin, TX |

We have one leather seat we inherited and the cats love to sit on it when there's a human there. -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

We had the idea that leather would be easier to keep clean than fabric, and that has been the case so far. Our cats don't seem to scratch much so that hasn't been a problem. But one of the dogs really likes to get up on the back and sink into the cushion. -- Gary Brady Austin, TX www.powdercoatoven.4t.com |

Very soft to the touch. It has a matte appearance. The dog liked it because it was cooler than the carpet. |
