Animals should be at least treated humanely for the amount of information they provide from exprementing upon them for all kinds of reasons. USDA should be the role model for any research carried out on animals.
But a recent article I read seems to treat not so humanely.
In fact,
"Researchers at the Agriculture Department have euthanized healthy kittens, ignored injured pigs and killed dozens of birds through neglect and starvation, government documents show."
“There are still very horrendous animal deaths and incidents taking place at USDA,” said Mimi Brody, the director of federal affairs at the Humane Society of the United States. “ ... Even if these are extreme cases, why are they happening?”
How can you say we are civilized if we cannot provide a minimum amount of comfort to the animals we slaughter in the name of science.
