Does your job ever conflict with your veganism?

Re: Does your job ever conflict with your veganism?
I have to do something that makes me uncomfortable tomorrow (not my regular job, only once or twice). I have to help my dad class some sheep skins to be tanned, now usually I definitely not do this but my father broke his shoulder tendon, has high blood pressure and has no help with this (plus it's around 700). Now I disagree completely with this but it's my father and he is paying for my uni fees and he needs my help :/
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it you will be lonely often and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself

Tell him that it's bothering your conscience, and ask him to have a vegan dinner with you, which will offset any contribution you indirectly provided.
Maybe he'll accept that, as a thanks for your help and to ease your conscience?
It probably has more positive effect him eating vegan for a meal, than you not helping him with this.
