Experiments are necessary, and i know labs today treat the animals the best they can which does sometimes mean the animal is destroyed to end its suffering. I have a friend who does research at the UofC on rats. Without these experiments we wouldn't have even the simplest of modern medicines, our life expectancy would be 40 and we would be living in the dark ages. Our brains grew and evolved over time because we eat meat, I suggest we use them and continue curing diesease thru these experiments.

maybe we could outsource our experiments to Chinese prisons
