Cow Rubber

Is my belt leather?

I recently became veggie so I'm not used to the lifestyle yet. Today I bought a belt (studded) the type punks like to wear, without thinking about what it was made from (stupid I know). Then after I bought it, I was like "Oh No maybe this came from a cow?" It has no tags so I don't know what it's made from. It looks like leather but it doesn't smell like leather. It has rubber coating on the edges. I really hope this isn't some poor cow. I feel so ashamed of myself. Do you think this could be faux leather if it has no tag?
Added detail: Yeah it has absolutely nothing written on it. It seems like I screwed up big time. Do you think I should just wear it, since its too late? Throwing it away would be worst right (It would mean a cow died for nothing) This is bad.

It doesn't even have country of origin markings? That's kind of odd.

What you can do is the hot needle test. On the underside of the belt or some other spots that aren't normally visible you touch a red hot needle to the material and if it smells like burned animal it IS made of animal, if it melts and smells like plastic it certainly isn't leather. You may also need to scrape a small area to remove the coating to test the material and not the coating.

Usually I get massive thumb-downs for posting this idea but it works and has been used for decades by antique collectors to test for cheap, manmade fake antiques. It's also used to test for fake amber,turquoise and pearls.
