Furniture Wooden
Posted in Garden Antiques on 04/12/2008 01:45 pm by adminFrom a vegan standpoint, is it unethical to have wooden furniture? what about to keep pets? A few qs 4 vegans?
I've been exploring the concept of vegitarianism and veganism, and I was wondering, since both oppose the use of animal products for consumption and in clothing/accessories, does this also extend to things like furniture? Would some vegans find it unethical to purchase wooden furniture, knowing that trees are being destroyed? would they instead buy plastic furniture or other furniture of man-made materials?
This also made me ponder whether vegans or vegetarians find the concept of keeping pets unethical, since it kind of goes against liberating animals.
My final question is (although unrelated to the previous 2): do vegans or vegetarians eat honey?
To deal with the honey first. Do the research. Harvesting honey not only harms the bees, it exploits them. Being vegan is about not using animals for our own gain. The honey is not made for us, they make it for their food.
A previous answer covered the furniture part the best. A vegan would choose the furniture that contained no animal products and does the least harm to the enviroment (therefore protecting habitat.) But this area is gray as many opnions differ on which (wood or plastic) is better for short and long term use.
We shouldn't have pets because man should have never domesticated animals and bred them the way we have. Now that we have this problem we created, we owe it to these poor species we created who now cannot live without our aid, the safety of our homes and food that many are not capable of finding due to the domestication.
Veganism is not so much about diet and what you can or cannot buy or eat. It is about the awareness that animals are not "ours". They do not belong to us. We share this planet. They are not here for us to exploit. Vegans seek to avoid this in any way possible.
