So I’ve talked to my dad about how silk sheets are good for hair. And when he was on his vacation he bought silk sheets for me and a pillowcase, well more like 3 pillowcases. What do I do, I mean I didn’t talk about bamboo silk because I think it can’t be bought in our country and this was a surprise gift so I wasn’t even asked if I wanted it.
Once the animal product is purchased, the damage is done. What you do with it from here is up to you.
If you’re a vegan, watch what you say to other people. Should they decide that an animal product would be a thoughtful gift for you, they may purchase it for you.
The most crucial lesson to take away from this is that.
Once the animal product is purchased, the damage is done. What you do with it from here is up to you.
I’ll echo the majority of people here and say that while I would NEVER buy it new, what if it was a thoughtful present from someone or I got it for a great price used? Then it’s an insult to the animal who suffered to just throw it away because the damage has already been done.
Take it and give it or use it. That one is damage/sunk cost. Even though he is unaware that veganism counts products as well, it was a kind and kind gesture on his part.
Inform him that although you admire the idea, you are unable to use them because the sheets were made by boiling live worms. Urge him to give them back, and express your regret for any trouble and misunderstanding.
You took away a valuable lesson: refrain from orally endorsing the consumption of animal products.
Do you still live with your dad, I’m not sure what you do? If not, sell them online and give an explanation afterwards. Idk, the truth stings if you do. Inform him that since they are an animal product, you will not be using them.
It’s alright, enjoy the bedding! Excellence is hostile to perfection!
Your dad made a very kind and kind gesture there. Additionally pricey are silk sheets. Even so, I would continue to use them. To educate him—since some people don’t know—you may point out that they’re not vegan, but I would also let him know how much you value the effort.
Say that although you appreciate the effort, you are unable to accept the present because it is not vegan. Give the reason for this and suggest some vegan substitutes he may purchase if he so chooses in the future. Regarding the silk sheets, you may give them to a charity or a person in need, or your dad could sell them. Since a vegan does not consume animal products, the appropriate course of action is rather clear.
