USE OF EXOTIC LEATHERS

You may wonder if it’s legal and ethical to use exotic animal hides, (zebra, leopard, giraffe, alligator, etc.), for making leather goods like guitar straps.

It’s an excellent question.

The answer depends upon several factors such as, the species, gender, origin, and end use.  Generally speaking, it is lawful to use exotic leather in the making of consumer goods, provided the hides are not obtained by unlawful means like poaching or other illegal harvesting methods.  They must also be used in compliance with standards and agreements established by worldwide oversight organizations, such as CITES .

Exotic leather used by Goat’s Gruff Leather Studio is purchased from reputable sources, licensed to deal in such products and who provide valid documentation.  In most cases, these hides come from established animal preserves, sanctuaries, and zoos throughout the world. When an animal dies of natural causes, or is lawfully culled, the money received from selling the hides to ethical tanneries is used to further the efforts of wildlife preservation.

It's our feeling that, not only is it ethical to tastefully display the beauty of these hides, it also honors the animals from which they came.
