In the current era, the discourse surrounding the creation of products using animals or consuming them as a food is not more compulsory and has generated a substantial discourse. I would definitely agree with the statement that with the use of latest technology and modern methods the pain caused to animals can significantly reduced.
To start with, nowadays with use of modern techniques companies are able to develop plant based meats which is equally high in protein and provide strength similar to the real meats obtained by sacrificing animals. For instance, recently KFC has brought a revolution in food industry by launching their plant based burger which has same number of calories as their chicken burger, as well as it not only provides similar taste but same amount of protein. Considering, it has been developed in a lab using soyabean as a main source; however named as “Plant based meat”.
Moreover, recent techniques has the ability to develop materials like leather for making clothes, belts, bags and so on. In earlier times these were obtained from skin of certain animals. Additionally, a plenty of sources are available for developing this materials except from living creatures and that too in cheaper price range.
Nevertheless, animals are used for different types of scientific research, as this cannot be denied that specific research cannot be done without the use of living creatures. For example, developing a novel drug delivery form or inventing a new medication, such experiments cannot use human beings and its essential to use animals in such situations.
In a nutshell, the aforementioned arguments for avoiding sacrifice of animals for personal use like manufacturing accessories and their consumption as food is totally unjustified. I strongly assert that using animals for personal benefits is a crime.
