Moral dilemma question
Hi team, I’ve been vegan for 11 years or so and I plan on having a vegan wedding. However, it would seem in a (potentially bp manic moment) my mom impulse bought 200 white ostrich feathers for center pieces.
I would rather not have animals feathers or contribute to the exploitation of these birds but I love my mom and she already did it and I don’t want to put her down. I also don’t want to have to explain to anyone on my wedding day who would question it. My wedding also isn’t even for another year or so.
I just don’t know what to do with 200 wasted feathers otherwise and I guess haven’t really hit this level of moral conundrum. Although I have already explained to her that it’s still harming and exploiting an animal even if it’s collected as a by product, I don’t want to make her feel bad because she is precious to me and family but I already explained it’s not vegan and I don’t want it but they are just there and I know her feelings will be hurt
What would you do?
