Natural Badger

Natural Badger
Would a vegetarian use these?

I’m a professional artist, and the brushes I use are made with actual animal hair (sable; boar’s bristle; badger, to name a few).

Natural hair brushes are superior to man-made (which is why every artist wants them, & therefore why they are so costly). My sister asked me if a vegetarian would use them, and I had to confess that I had no idea.

So, I’m asking: can vegetarian artists use high-quality (i.e., natural) brushes, or do they have to make do with synthetics?
P.S. I’m no vegetarian, and I’d never dream of sacrificing quality workmanship for an intangible moral ideal. But, that’s just me.

Technically, vegetarianism applies only to what a person eats. However, when a person is a vegetarian because they do not want to be a part of animal cruelty, they often stop using animal products as well (why kill/torture for fashion etc. if I do not do so for food?- being the logic.)

But as I said, you can technically be a vegetarian and use animal products. It is vegans who cannot use any animal products at all.

P.S. Many wouldn’t dream of sacrificing their morals for an intangible artistic ideal.
;D

EDIT- That last commeant was meant to be amusing and ironic, not mean or rude. I tried to convey that through the smiley face… but you never can tell around here.
