Doesn the slaughter of food animals produce valuable by-products?
Today, most animal products, such as leather, gelatin, and bone material can be replaced by synthetic substitutes. As the demand for these products continues to increase, they will become more readily available, cheaper, and of higher quality. If animals were no longer slaughtered for food, some animal products could still be obtained from animals that died natural deaths.
