The
use
of
animals
in the food, medicine, and clothing industry has been a commonplace scenario since the dawn of time; many religious and cultural traditions involve
animals
for the
use
of one of these demands.
For instance
, it's common to wear animal skin and fur in extremely cold areas like Alaska. With the advent of technological advancements, globalisation and increased connectedness, it is conspicuous that people do not have to resort to the traditional ways of life,
therefore
,
instead
of killing
animals
, synthetic clothes, meat
alternatives
, and lab produced medicines could be used for human necessities. I will analyse the need for animal
use
in the aforementioned industries and
alternatives
in
this
essay.
First
and foremost,
animals
have been part of the human ecosystem since the beginning of time and like any other species, humans have used
animals
for their varied requirements. An illustration of
this
can be seen in religious animal sacrifices, traditional artisan luxury clothing lines made of
animals
' body parts, and the food markets. People still have
this
antediluvian idea that being the mightiest species on the earth allows us to choose how we can
use
the rest of the species according to our needs. Resultantly, various industries based on cruel animal treatments are still thriving with good future revenue projections.
On the other hand
,
however
, the notion that animal sacrifice is still needed for the products which had no
alternatives
a few centuries ago, but now have, is preposterous.
For example
, we now have man-made fabrics that work better than animal skin or fur,
likewise
, medicines are being made in a lab with chemicals,
further
, scientists have now created synthetic plant-based meat
in addition
to the thousands of food options now available in the supermarkets.
In other words
, killing any live being,
nevertheless
, in order to gain ephemeral societal praise or to have a delicious meal cannot be justified by any logical argument.
Consequently
, society must take cognizance of these killings whatever may the purpose be and save as many
animals
as possible.
To sum up, human comfort does not have to be so evil that its fulfilment may result in the killing of thousands of poor
animals
. We have found
alternatives
of animal products, as
such
, we should
use
them
instead
of ordering an execution.
