Every year, the $1.5 billion U.S. leather industry tans approximately 100 million animal skins.
Many animals from whom these skins are taken suffer all the horrors of factory farming, including extreme crowding and confinement, deprivation, unanesthetized castration, branding, tail-docking and de-horning, and cruel treatment during transport and slaughter.
