URGENT: Tell Ryanair That Cow Skin Is for Cows – Not for Airplane Seats
Ryanair has announced its decision to switch to leather seats. According to Hoovers.com, Ryanair is expanding its fleet, which currently consists of about 45 Boeing 737s, with 100 more 737-800s by 2008. Fitting all those aircraft with leather seats would require the skins of thousands of animals!
Leather, which is just hairless fur, is an integral part of the livestock trade. Most of the millions of cows, pigs, sheep and other animals who are raised for their skins endure the horrors of factory farming – overcrowding, deprivation of all that is natural to them and castration, branding, tail-docking and dehorning without anaesthetics. At the end of their miserable lives, their throats are slit, and they are hung upside-down and bled to death.
Leather made from animal skins is difficult to maintain and often tears and cracks, but synthetic leather is rapidly gaining popularity because of its many advantages over leather. In fact, a synthetic leather called Ultraleather, made by Ultrafabrics (ultrafabricsllc.com), outwears animal leather by a three-to-one margin in Tabor Abrasion tests! Unlike animal leather, Ultraleather does not crack, and its colour does not fade. It is also easier to clean and ‘breathes’ better than animal leather.
Ultraleather, once treated, also meets strict aircraft flammability requirements and is used in Boeing aircraft’s first-class seating. Some of the airlines that use Ultraleather in their first-class seating include United, Continental, Southwest, Singapore and British Air. Lear, Falcon and Cessna also use Ultraleather in their aircraft.

Απλώς προτείνουν να χρησιμοποιηθεί τεχνητό δέρμα, που έχει καλύτερες ιδιότητες από το φυσικό. ΟΚ, μπορεί όλοι αυτοί οι ακτιβιστές να χρησιμοποιούν συχνά κάπως...ακραίες μεθόδους διαμαρτυρίας, αλλά στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση δεν έχουν άδικο. Βέβαια, δεν καταλαβαίνω γιατί η Ryanair να προτιμήσει το φυσικό δέρμα, οπότε δεν αποκλείεται η όλη ιστορία να είναι αποτέλεσμα κακής πληροφόρησης.
