I bought some leather online. When I opened the package the smell almost made me throw up. When I questioned the seller he said it was from Pakistan. Apparently many of them use urine to tan their leathers. The smell is horrible and cannot be eliminated.

Urine doesn’t tan leather. They may use it in alkalinity steps but it won’t tan skin to leather. It’s worth noting even in reputable tanneries they used to use human and dog shit to bate hides… though we have synthetics now.
