Leather can be made from cows, pigs, goats, and sheep; exotic animals such as
alligators, ostriches, and kangaroos; and even dogs and cats, who are
slaughtered for their meat and skin in China, which exports their skins around
the world. Because leather is normally not labeled, you never really know where
(or whom) it came from. A PETA investigator documented the appalling conditions
in which animals are raised and killed for "luxury" watchbands. Alligators are packed in dank pools and crocodiles are crowded
in barren concrete pits for months or even years before finally being
slaughtered for their skins.
