“anon for this,
Firstly, please explain how we can use skins of animals for Mitzvos without torturing and/or killing them? Are we to look through the forests and find animal corpses with salvagable skins on them? Or maybe “Give me a break” will tell as that there are some shitos that allow human skins to be used?”
Without torturing them, not necessarily without killing them. Now you understand? And no, I’ve never heard of a shita that allows human skins to be used, but I’ve never heard of anyone that says you CAN’T use human skins. So there you have it.

Not cheirem, Chelm. “
Why?
“BS”D
I have explained why the Korban Pesach was allowed – we took good care of the animals,
so they owed us their lives.
Source? Medrash Shtussim Rabim perhaps? I would mention what letter goes before tzaddik in the siman that you need to look up in said sefer but this is a G-rated site. “
No. Source: From the fact that Noach was only permitted to kill animals because he spent many sleepless nights over the welfare of the animals, so they were indebted to him. Very few slaughter animals today are in any way indebted to us, and, if anything, we are indebted to them because of the horrendous torture we put them through from birth to death.
