This is industry is not really environment friendly to say the least, it's not like they're green peace all of a sudden.

I hold a donor card too, and that's where the difference lies - I decided to do so, the animals didn't agree to take part in this and become a product and get slaughtered and being used like a "material" instead of... being an animal.

We should be more graceful with our surroundings. instead we're going calculated, cold and numb.

So you'd gladly waste useful resources for no valid reason. The animals whose fat are harvested for Tallow are dead when it happens, they would be dead either way as these animals are killed for their meat. not their fat.

You say we should be more graceful with our surroundings but how can you say that in the same post where you are basically endorsing being wasteful? Hypocritical.

Animals are going to die for their meat, fact so what valid reason do you have for not making use of what would otherwise be considered a byproduct and likely disposed in a non-environmentally friendly fashion? Better to make use of what we can.
