And yes, it is cruel to treat animals this way. They are a lot more intelligent than we currently give them credit for. However, at present we have no better way of testing these things. We can either progress, or die out as a species. If we survive, we can take the other life on earth with us when we leave. It's a sad state of affairs, but in order to save us and most life as we know it from ourselves, we better do what we can and live with the regret and guilt. Many people, if it came down to sacrificing themselves to save the lives of millions, would. But that is a choice, and if forced upon them they might not cooperate. That's the main difference here.
