In recent years, advancements in technology have made plant-based diets, attire, and care more accessible, and people can fully replace animal-based products. I strongly disagree with the idea, as certain regions and socioeconomic groups still depend on them for practical and cultural reasons.
To begin

while
urban populations in wealthy countries may have the luxury of choosing lab-grown meat or mushroom leather, Linking Words
this
is an unrealistic option for many regions around the world. To illustrate Linking Words
this
, plant-based meat and high-tech fabrics are either expensive or entirely unavailable in remote and low-income areas. Linking Words
For example
, in pastoral communities in the Arctic, animal husbandry is not only considered a vital source of food security, but Linking Words
also
a traditional method of producing garments suited to extreme climates. Linking Words
Furthermore
, many medicines are animal-derived substances or tested using animal protocols, making a complete elimination of Linking Words
such
practices highly impractical.

In addition
, in many cases, cultural reliance on animals cannot be replaced. Linking Words
This
means that across indigenous societies, the use of animals in diet, clothing, and healing practices is tied to identity, heritage, and survival. Inuit communities, Linking Words
for instance
, rely on seal meat and fur not just for sustenance and warmth in extreme climates, but Linking Words
also
as a continuation of generations-old knowledge and connection to the land.

To conclude
, Linking Words
although
plant-based and synthetic options are advancing, they are not one-size-fits-all solutions. There are numerous factors that must be taken into account, including the economic conditions and cultural roles, and industrialised countries must not marginalise those who do not follow the same path.Linking Words
