Some of the experiments historically done (and that continue to be done) on animals are horrific. If animals do indeed suffer as humans do, just think of the massive suffering that must have been caused in the learned helplessness experiments[1], or countless unanesthetized vivisections[2], and the likely millions of animals at this point that have been purposefully infected with terrible diseases to gain insight into treating humans.
Strong evidence does not even matter, when acknowledging the facts and their implications means we have to accept our responsibility and culpability for the terrible crimes we have committed against fellow sentient beings.
