Activists?

Animal activists..
I don't see myself as an animal activist.
I'm not a vegan or whatever.. I eat meat, wear leather shoes and coats.
My beliefs are, humans need animal product (for example for vitamin B12), so I eat beef and wear the leather that is made of the animal.
Long story short, saying: I use all of the animal, meat, skin, bones for soup etc.
But, I wear little make up, but the stuff I do wear is animal testing free.
I don't wear fur, or anything that resembles it.
My eggs etc come from a farm where I can see the chickens running about in the fields, having great fun.
I had to escape to 'LA LA Land' today and not say anything.. A colleague said her zip had broke from her coat, cost her €30,- to repair, as the coat was €150 she was going to have it repaired for the €30,-.
Someone said something about fur, she said; yes it has real fur on it, but I didn't know untill I got home, So I thought seen as I already bought it, I wouldn't return it.
My other colleague, turned round and said, well if you wouldn't have bought it someone else would. The beast has already been killed so what the hell..
I felt myself getting more and more angry. He failed to realise that if people wouldn't buy the stuff, then it wouldn't be in the shops and animals we see as pets would not be stripped from their fur and left to die from shock. (lots of them are skinned alive, something to do with the fur looking better).
I have no problem if the animal was killed, eaten and then skinned.
I dont believe in whale hunting except when I saw a documentary on eskimos. They use everything. Eat it, use fat for fuel, use the bones to make sewing needles etc.
I don't see how people can wear dog/cat (etc.) fur and then go home and pet their cat/dog.
If you kill an animal, use all of it. Don't skin it / don't skin it alive and throw the rest away.
