00:00There is hardly any industrial product that is totally free of animal cruelty.
00:06In that context, sports too carry the imprint of animal cruelty, which is not necessary.
00:13But that's how it currently is.
00:15Human history hasn't exactly been of compassion.
00:19You look at arts, sciences, any field of human endeavor, and you will find animal products
00:26are everywhere.
00:27Because that's the way we have been.
00:28When a large animal, like a buffalo, a cow, a bull is slaughtered, every part of its body
00:35is used somewhere, mostly industrially.
00:38The animal skin is very visible in the musical instruments.
00:41Same thing for your sports.
00:42You look at cricket, the ball, it's a leather ball, there is leather.
00:46As human consciousness awakens, and that's our endeavor, you will find that the need
00:52to put an animal something somewhere, that need decreases.
