Young Brunette Girl On The Red Leather Sofa

Jainism prohibits the use of leather since it is obtained by killing animals.
Concern for animals and the environment and alternatives
Vegans and animal rights activists boycott the use of all items made from leather, believing the practice of wearing animal hides to be unnecessary and cruel in today's society. Animal rights groups such as PETA have called for boycotts and encourage the use of alternative materials such as synthetic leathers.
