Pony Fur / Pony Hair what is that? (i.e. does it exist as a common luxury material or is it something synthetic?) and did they kill a pony for it?→[More:]
the saleswoman said "it's from a dying animal" but I don't believe that.

It IS horse skin, so the animal was killed.

I see. It's kinda nauseating to think about but I guess if I'm not feeling all that bad about the cow the leather it's tacked onto came from I'm just being hypocritical by giving into the pony's charisma factor?

Cordovan (equine leather) shoes are the shit.

i suddenly don't feel that much sympathy for the poor horsies anymore. mullacc, tapping into a man's weakness to rid him of his ethical quandaries is a low blow! :)
