product photography

One of my projects at the Foundation is to photograph the various products sold in the museum store so that we can include it in the online catalog (which currently only shows the wool products). The Foundation works with over 20 artesans in the region who make a variety of things from salmon skin wallets to silver jewelry to ceramic replicas of traditional Mapuche pottery. Today I spent the morning taking pictures of the txon txon which is a cow skin receptacle that was traditionally used for collecting and carrying seeds, etc. The txon txon are really fuzzy and sweet looking because they still have the cow´s fur. Is it wrong for a vegetarian to like something like that?
