'Could the practice of making leather animal skins soon be extinct?
Scientists in the UK are saying it’s a very real possibility with a group
working towards the goal of shoes made from fully natural "animal skin" rather
than traditional leather.
Experts at the 3D Bio-Tissues company have successfully grown tissue measuring
10cm by 10cm square, marking a significant milestone in producing a natural,
animal-friendly leather alternative.
While we are not quite at the point where we can hang up our cowhide jackets
for good, it’s a step in the right direction for those who have been fighting
against the process for years, calling for an end to the industry as a whole.'
