Why wouldn't it be allowed? Like Vivien said, there are plenty of things made of leather and suede these days, that's an animal skin
I thought it was, trust me to get it wrong :roll: xx

It would be a by product of the meat industry so I don't see why it would be... going to go look it up though.

Exactly, some shops sell fur coats and bags with fur trims.

Ahhh i see i didnt think of that. xxxxxxx
Are hides (leather etc) derived from animals which are bred solely for that purpose, or are the hides taken as a by-product from the animals killed for meat? Maybe these rabbits are bred for meat and their skins as a by-product? I don't know.
I still have a sable coat from the 70s, bought just before the uprise in the animal movement when they were incendiary-bombing the chain stores which sold mink, chinchilla, rabbit fur etc.
Somehow, I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing my sable now - but I wear leather boots!

Sometimes the animal is bred for the fur or hides and meat is a bi-product of the fur/hide if you get what I am saying........ fur/hide animals are kept in different condition from meat animals, because they need to keep the hide/fur is clean condition etc......

I imagine there are no more laws stopping rabbit fur being traded than there is for leather or cowhide rugs - i.e that it has to confirm to minimum requirements (like being appropriatly treated and 'clean') and if it does so then there is nothing legally wrong with it. Morally wrong is the opinion of the individual.
