Acharya Prashant discusses the limitations of relying solely on technological and legal solutions to address animal cruelty. While acknowledging the rise of plant-based and lab-grown meat alternatives as positive developments, he expresses concern that these substitutes do not address the root cause of violence within the human mind. He argues that if the underlying human tendency for consumption and aggression remains unchanged, people will simply find new ways to exploit animals or the environment, such as through habitat destruction or shifting violence toward other humans and nature.
