Why the usage of Leather Jackets that keep you warm could be Paradoxical and Useless

Why the usage of Leather Jackets that keep you warm could be Paradoxical and Useless


Leather is a really popular material used in various industries. Just thinking about how most of it is made got me stuck with an interesting theory. I'm not entirely sure this is accurate information, but it's just a possibility in the long run. Please give it a read!

Extraction of raw material

Leather is prepared from the raw-hide skin of different animals like buffalo, goat, cow, and sheep. It is recorded that from total leather exports 40 percent of buffalo and 30 percent of goat rawhide skins are used for leather. Apart from this, exotic leathers such as snake and alligator are also available. Real leather is made from the skins of dead animals (animal hide) and in many Asian countries, animals are skinned alive and doing so is not so uncommon to them.

If they are fortunate enough to be killed first, they are often beaten to death, electrocuted, drowned or hanged. This also includes animal fur. So a lot of animals are killed just for their skin although a lot of places use even animals that have been killed for meat to make the most of the value of the animal.

Animal hide

The paradox

Coming to the interesting part. A lot of the real leather jackets, coats, mattresses, etc. that are produced to keep you warm are made from animals that have been killed. So, this causes an ecological imbalance and adds to the growing environmental problems that cause global warming. 

In conclusion, by buying leather to keep yourself warm, you're actually indirectly causing global warming which results in higher temperatures and ironically not even having to use the leather garments because you wouldn't want to feel warm now. Quite paradoxical?

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

There's always a photon striking back to the source

There's always a photon striking back to the source    Note: This is only a speculation. I don't claim that any of the following is scientifically proven. It's entirely based on my perception. Hence, I am open to any sort of suggestions, opinions and discussions.  Introduction to Photons We all have heard about long years of debates over light being a wave, a particle or both and what events led to the discovery of photons. Put simply, photons are the fundamental particles of light, which has particle nature and uniquely, wave nature as well. Such unique properties of light allows light to undergo phenomena like reflection, refraction,diffraction and diffusion. Great scientists spent years of research over these particles into contributing towards quantum physics (further : quantum particles ).    Photons are mostly of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The deep and continuous study and research about these particles led to ...

Why Does the Africans' Race usually wins the Race?

  Theory: Why the Africans' Race usually wins the Race. Theme :  Africans and their Astounding Stamina Disclaimer: This post is not intended to offend or comment about anyone in particular or as a whole. This is just a theory which could be scientifically true. I love humanity. About Africa: Africa as many know is one of the largest and populous continents in the world. Africa boasts perhaps the world's largest combination of density and range of freedom of wild animal populations and diversity. It's a beautiful continent with varieties of climatic conditions. The climate of Africa ranges from tropical to subarctic on its highest peaks. Its northern half is primarily desert, or arid, while its central and southern areas contain both savanna plains and dense jungle (rainforest) regions. In between, there is a convergence, where vegetation patterns such as Sahel and steppe dominate. Africa is the hottest continent on earth and 60% of the entire land surface con...
