Vegan angered at seats decision
 
A woman from Derby has set up an online petition against changes to the seating on a bus company's vehicles.
Genevieve Griffiths, a vegan, is angry at Trent Barton's decision to put in leather seats on the Rainbow 5 buses as she believes using it is cruel.
Ms Griffiths said: "It's the murder of innocent animals, they don't need to use leather, and they just can't seem to notice that."

Sorry, but my argument here is that the animal is going to be killed anyway, (no ammount of vegans is going to change that, for a while at least.) so the by-product may as well be used rather than throw it away.

Without the meat industry, these animals wouldn't exist . . .
