Not true. I work in scientific research and that is simply not true.
Not only are many of the scientists working with and on these animals sensitive to their lives and quality of life, but there are oversight committees that are dedicated to making sure that animals, no matter the type or for how long they are research subject, are cared for. IACUCs - Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees represent a cross section of science, medical and community members.
Many experiments with longer lived animals care for those animals for many years. So, no offense, but your statement is simply not true.
