Horn is a sustainable material. All of the horn materials that we use to make horn glasses come from domesticated animals, not wild cattle. Cattle have always been one of the most important domesticated animals for human beings, and horn is only a by-product of animal husbandry, only from old and natural death, and take the best part to make horn glasses. Cattle are not slaughtered for their horns, but the country allows the use of other materials, including horns and cowhide for leather, for the meat of the cattle and by-products produced by the industry without adding or perpetuating additional environmental, ethical or sustainable impacts .
