I thought the point was to not support the industry. I agree with i-love-nev. If you already have it, you might as well use it. Getting rid of it certainly isn't going to do anything to help the animal that died for it, or cause that you care about. I agree that if you throw it away, it's as though the animal died for nothing. If I were you, I would keep those things, and I would explain to people who ask that "this is my last leather wallet," or "I will never buy another baseball glove," or whatever item is being discussed.
