It is claimed that animals are no longer of necessity in
, clothing, or medicine
. From my perspective, while it is true that with the modernization of the world, animals should not be used as clothing or traditional remedies anymore, they still play an integral role in
research and in the
of

There are several reasons why the use of animals as clothing items and traditional medicines should be stopped. It must
be recognized that in many cultures, people use wild animals as remedies for several illnesses and conditions based on local belief, not scientific evidence.
, in Asia, snakes are believed to cure erectile dysfunction and rhino horns are thought to have cancer-curing properties.
falsified notion has given rise to the poaching industry to satisfy consumers’ demand and effectively decimated the populations of these animals, making them endangered in many countries.
, with the advent of technology and the

fashionable and comfortable to wear.
, I firmly believe that wild animals are still indispensable in
and medicine
. For one, animals are an essential element of a balanced diet and a source of high-quality protein, which cannot be replaced by plant-based alternatives.
, many animals are an important part of a traditional cuisine, which makes up a culture.

research remains an essential element

is because drugs need to be tested on animals for side effects and efficacy before clinical trials on humans can be conducted. Researches have shown that animals used for these experiments carry almost exactly the same DNA as humans, and since until now science has not succeeded in creating alternatives that can ensure the same results, they are still irreplaceable.
In conclusion, I believe that while animals should not be used as traditional medicines and clothing items anymore, they remain essential in the
of
and medicines. It is
advisable that regulations be strictly imposed so that animals are used properly.
