Do they kill sheep to make ugg boots?

Do they kill sheep to make ugg boots?
No. Sheep are killed for meat, either mutton or lamb, which many people consider a delicacy. The sheep used for sheepskin are also wool sheep that are old and no longer productive. But most sheepskin is a by product of the meat industry. If the outside didn%26#039;t get turned into sheepskin, it would go to waste and fill up landfills and dumps and pollute groundwater.





And since sheep die regardless, isn%26#039;t it better to put the skin to good use rather than to let it go to waste? Nothing will keep a sheep from dying eventually. And do remember that fake sheepskins and fake leathers are made from petrochemicals and plastics, something that%26#039;s far more toxic and kills far more animals to produce; including humans.
Reply:so sorry, dearie, they kill the sheeps and cows for your beloved uggs. I know, I used to want a pair but when i went to savethesheep.com, I knew better.
Reply:It is pure Australian sheep skin, so yes, they do kill the animal to make the boot.


For the fur they just shave the animal, no killing involved.





By the way, suede is roughed up leather, textured for a softer feel. Leather= animal skin.





On the Ugg boots website and states how high quality their sheep skin is, but doesn%26#039;t state how they care for their animals. It says their sheep are clean, but just because they don%26#039;t have crap smeared on them doesn%26#039;t mean they aren%26#039;t abused.
Reply:Yes ,the boots are made of real........sheepskin.Yes animal skin and fur(real hair).There is cruelty involved all the way in this lucrative bussiness for Australia,included are the Uggs shoes .You can do something to save the sheep....I did........





%26quot;the trendy boot is made from sheepskin with the fur intact, not a wooly lining attached to a synthetic backing as Pamela Andersn thought for a long, long time. %26quot;
