Once again, let's put our logic hats on.

We do not need meat for nutrition or need to wear leather to protect our bodies.

Meat is detrimental to our health.

Animals that provide the meat experience extreme violence, pain, and profound suffering.

The process of putting meat on your plate is incredibly destructive to our forests, oceans, and climate.

Therefore, choose not to eat meat or wear leather.

Pretty, simple.
