One of the issues is that the tanning process requires the use of toxic chemicals, that are afterward often released to the environment.

Well - they could just tan the leather the old fashioned way and use the cow brains.

"we asked ourselves what would a cow think about this?

I present to you

USA & europe tanneries are usually pretty regulated and treat their wastewater. Other countries may vary.
