There wasn't enough information in the original posting to determine
whether the cited animal research was for its own sake (in which case
I agree that it should not have been done) or in pursuit of some other
problem (in which case it might have been justified).

Consider:  Suppose that you could reduce human suffering and prolong
human life as the probable result of performing experiments that would
require inflicting pain and death on several (non-human) animals, and
that no other approach would succeed.  Would the experiments be justified?
I don't think you need to post answers to this question, just think about
what the appropriate criteria are.
