It is a very hard topic, but as I mentioned to fasacity and @justfavour, this is simply a matter of survival. If as a species we do not sacrifice animals for testing or to serve as food (which is also another equally serious and serious point), we simply disappear as a species.
What we could do is use human clones to carry out experiments, but of course this leads us to another ethical debate in which the church has made its position clear, that it does not accept this because even a clone is a life before God. But I honestly think that experimenting with a body made in a laboratory would be a more "humane" way of survival, I don't know if I understand myself, I don't want to sound like a monster, I'm simply saying that it is a creature created for experimentation. If we take as a starting point that a lion eats any living being just for survival, then we could see it from that point of view when talking about human clones made for experimentation.
This is a very complex and interesting topic. Many religious fundamentalists are probably not going to agree with this, yet they continue to eat animals and plants that are also living beings and have recently been proven to have emotions.
