Yes, animal testing in science leads to “gruesome” animal deaths. The alternative is human testing. What would you prefer?
This whole story is an absolute beat up.
Animal testing need not be gruesome - and indeed must not be according to most
and 
approvals.
Typically, minimizing animal suffering and humane procedures for determining when and how to euthanize animals is typically a big part of getting sign off for this kind of thing.
“Gruesome” is just a clickbait word used here by whoever wrote the article.
