I've heard that car tires aren't vagan?

Question

true / false? what is in them that wouldn't make them vegan? glue?

please inform me :)

Answer 1

The rubber is made from oil - which is fossilized amimals. Therefore oil is an animal-product. Vegans do not consume or use anything from animals.

Answer 2

Why would you want to know?? You're not going to eat the tires are you....LOL

Answer 3

Yes they are, they run over and kill hundreds of things every year *wipes eyes*

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure tires are made from synthetic rubber.  Glue has not been made from animal parts in ages.

Answer 5

Rendered animal parts are used in producing some types of rubber, including the kind that is used in tires. I learned this a while back from a pro-animal site.

Just scroll down to the section named "Disheartening Specifics" for a list of items that are made with rendered animal parts:
