And my point is that almost all of the 'unfortunate side-effects' of raising animals are avoidable as well and are only the byproduct of reaching for scale and profit. The next summer I worked in a much smaller scale lamb and wool place, nothing even close to that level of horror and the old guy who owned it spent most of my time there spitting on the company I worked at previously.
In the same way I'm sure this could have been done in a saner, more humane manner but it wasn't because they have to trot out some new tech in the next two decades and not the next 50 years. They are obviously not doing it for sadism reasons, these trials cost beaucoup bucks and aren't some sadistic professor's idea with shitty methodology that got good PR like the Calhoun rat experiments or the Milgram authority experiments.
