Should I buy these shoes?
I don't want to buy anything that has been tested on animals, or has animals in products. I found these shoes for school made by Puma:
http://store.puma.com/pumaUSStore/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=PumaUS&category%5Fname=WomensFootwear&product%5Fid=30052108&productType=Footwear&mainCategory=Women&shopBy=style&siteid=1
But it says they have Pig Suede. I looked on Wikipedia and it says that Suede leather is made from the inner splits of a side of leather, usually cow, although doe suede and pig suede are available. Here is the link to that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suede and on PETA.org (Please don't say any negative comments about PETA.) it said that the company Puma is cruelty-free. Here is that link: http://www.peta.org/Living/alt4.asp I'm really confused on if I should buy them or not. PETA says Puma is cruelty-free, but Wikipedia says that Pigs were killed to make the suede for the shoes. What should I do?
Thanks everyone!
wikipedia is a site where ANYONE can edit it. if PETA says it's okay go ahead. It might be called "Pig Sued" because it feels like sued and pig because it's pink =) good job on your research though don't rust wiki next time.
