I don't think that the absolute horrors that are the modern meat industry, somehow lessen the tragedy of animal testing.

What you describe as 'absolute horrors' are what most people call making breakfast.

The 'tragedy of animal testing' isn't -- at least as relates to food stock animals.

This doesn't work as absolution by itself: many past horrors we now find abhorrent were the societal norm at their time.

"What you call climate change, is what most people call living."

Tradition does not beget complacency, nor does it preclude reflection. I'm also eating bacon and eggs for breakfast, just the vegan versions, which are really good these days.

Eating meat for breakfast and animal testing involves suffering or killing.

The test subjects were treated to avoid as much suffering as possible, in fact they suffered less than animals for food production. So even on a individual by individual comparison level ( neglecting the scale of slaughter for food) this research is less bad than eating meat.
