I have posted another post concerning this, but since you specificially
have this concern, I would repeat it again:
Gelatine comes from cooking and purifying animal skin and / or bones.
However, manufacturers of gelatine (and jello and gum) do not kill
animals just for this product, they buy it from the beef industry; so
instead of wasting the skin and bones, they use it to make gelatine.
I think this info. would make human right activists feel better, but I am
not sure it would with vegetarians though. I hope it would. :)
