Concerning the moral issue of using string manufactured from animals see this link detailing how they are made:

The article states grazing animals are used. To me that could be sheep, cows, goats. Such creatures are of course slaughtered for other purposes, so the string production element could be seen as only a small off-shoot of a carcass being used for other things. In this context I would say less of a moral issue than wearing leather shoes!
