      We already are. I admit that I know very little about the topic, but are we not reliant on animal cruelty for: insulin, antivenom, spider silk, and many more where alternatives would be expensive or even non existent? Though I do agree in this case with HRT, because I love injections and I find them relatively cheap. Feel encouraged to correct me.

        i’m not super informed on those subjects, but i did not mean to imply that humanity is not currently relying on animal cruelty. my point is just that we should not increase that relience. i think we should really do everything we can to minimize it (short of killing/starving ourselves)
