Are the uggs made from sheep that are killed?!?

i want to get uggs but i am an animal lover and i would hate to have uggs that have had sheep killed to make them. i know the fur on the inside is just shaved off and it grows back but what about the outside of the boot? i have heard yes but i have also heard no. i think no but i need to double check. :] thanks in advance

Reply:same here but I don't think so
Reply:They are sheepskin, not just sheep wool, therefore yes you are wearing part of the animal, not something that was just sheared off. However, the animal was probably not killed for the boots; the animal would have been killed for consumption and the skin/wool/etc. sold to shoe/clothing companies.
Reply:yes. they are killed but not b/c uggs said "kill for the profit of the boots" but first for table food and then the hide is seconday source. check out this article:

Reply:yes becuse the outside of the boots are sheepskin.
Reply:suede is made out of dead animal, however i am guessing if ur an animal luver than u are also and enviromentalist type person, and wearing suede/leather is recycling earth's resources, bcuz the sheep was already dead for meat. the ugg company did not kill these sheep, but bought the sheep from food companies. If ur a vegetarian, there is nothing wrong w/ wearing suede.
Reply:omg i hope not cause i shop there if they are i am going on strike against uggs
