Definitely an unusual job choice for a veggie! ;-)
I've tried googling for more information on the subject, but my searches generally just turn up lots of loons on both sides, and very little in the way of factual information (although quite a lot of opinions from loons presented as facts).
I will bear that in mind about British leather though.
It's just a shame that there's no way of finding out, when you by a pair of New Rocks for example, where the leather came from. I tend to run with the assumption that small cuts of tough leather = meat by-product, whereas large cuts of softer leather = animals reared for skin. This could be completely unfounded though.
