DudleyGray, unfortunately I don't have any help for your post, but I applaud your inquiry and look forward to responses.
I do have questions regarding the direction of your word "ethical."
Do you mean responsibly sourced? Fairly paid workers (a relative phrase)? Humanely treated animals? I do like horse-haven't resolved that yet. I have a pair of Guidis with kangaroo leather I didn't think twice about until I read about how some kangaroo leather was acquired. I don't mind leather, including american alligator. Snake is fine if it responsibly taken- hard to find out. Cosmetics seem a bit easier if you look for "not tested on animals" or the rabbit symbol.
All of this is of interest to me and I know we have a sharp community out there.
