The Blues Jr IV uses the traditional steel-reinforced neoprene handle......

Yeah, but how many neoprene's lost their lives to make those handles? :(

Not nearly as many as those poor tolexes who gave their all to cover Fender's cabinets.

There are no animal parts used as far as I know. You cannot be sure that no animals were harmed to produce the amplifier.
The major impacts of electronic production have both enviromental and geo-political consequences that affect us all.
Refining metals for electronics requires digging up vast quantities of Mother Earth to gain tiny amounts of pure materials. Huge amounts of carbon emissions are created to dig, transport, and heat the ores for refining. The chemicals for refining and the waste products are dangerous and carcinogenic. Wars in Africa are endemic around the sources of the raw materials.
So I hope your stomach feels better.

The best one I heard was about deer hunting -

"Why do people need to deer hunt? Why can't they get their meat from the grocery store where no animals are harmed."

Men have hunted for sustenance ever since they emerged from caves some 15,000 years ago, long before they began their dalliance with the electric guitar.

Perhaps you've heard of that.

Perhaps not.
