Consider the scenario that there isn't another method of conducting these scientific experiments. How many human lives would you sacrifice if it meant saving a lab animal? What's a fair rate of exchange for you? What if you yourself had an incurable, terminal illness that would have been curable if animal testing was available?
I don't mean to imply that one must have all the answers to criticize an injustice, but cheap throw away lines like "There's always another way" or "Not with that attitude" reek of shallow moralizing more concerned with virtue signaling than coherent ethical belief.
