...your arguement appears to suggest that if a man working in an asphalt plant wears wool pants and a leather belt one can conclude that animal products are a component in asphalt production....

Wrong.

sheepusa.org

"Driving to work also involves sheep products. Many drivers sit on sheepskin seat covers for comfort. If consumers have a really nice car with leather upholstery, it came from animals and some of them may be sheep. In addition, stearic acid obtained from the animal's fat is added to car tires to make them run cooler. Glycol, another animal-based chemical, is found in brake fluid and glycerol is one of the main ingredients to make asphalt stick together. If they listen to the radio on the way to work or take in a concert later in the evening, they are hearing sheep in action. Sheep by-products are used to make strings for instruments such as violins and heads for drums." -American Sheep Industry Association

Believe what you want... but everyday you and Ann use products for your convenience and pleasure that are made from 'innocent animals'. The hunter does what he does with honesty while you pay others to do it for you so you can pretend you don't.

I know it's a hard truth... but it *is* true.
