      If you pay someone to do harm, it’s still commonly considered that you have caused that harm. I don’t see how this differs in real moral terms.

      And I don’t care whether it’s legal, that has never been a moral basis for anything.

        Are you aware how many medical breakthroughs have occurred because of animal testing? From cancer treatments, to HIV drugs, to vaccines, all would not be possible without testing on animals.

      The issue is that they went to great lengths to cover up how many animals died in their testing, had no plans for long-term care after the testing that anyone can find or produce, and generally acted flagrantly against most every guideline of ethical animal testing in the civilized world.
