Most games end in the tower collapsing, but the ones I play usually end with somebody's jaw broken. So maybe we could play by my rules this time?
Whoa that cat holding the flower is awesome. Only if I too could send it to acrocanthosarus...
I have done some more googling (I can't stress this enough, I am just googling)
The top alternatives are rFC (genetically modified cells produce the required enzyme) and MAT (human monocytes do the detection) They're more costly, picking ready fruit is easier than growing an orchard.
Also I should mention how new the alternatives are, they're just (2018 is just now for me lol) getting their approvals and regulations so given time LAL will be replaced.
I googled it for you, there is LAL which is a blood clotting agent (that exists only in the blood of horseshoe crabs) that reacts with the bacterial capsule which makes it important for vaccine safety tests. Alternatives do exist but ya know, money is more important to corporations than some animal's life.
Aren't those for children, like for building habits and shit
USA centric thinking... The dentists anywhere else recommend the good stuff so you stay the fuck away from their clinic (they get paid all the same by the gov no matter how many they treat)
