I think that as a society we under-estimate the enormous gratitude we own these animals. We subject them to our tests to make our lives "better" (among useful things, to test make-up and crap like that). In a way we should be ashamed of ourselves that we're even doing this but I guess humans will always be humans regardless of how great we think we are.
Gratitude is the least of it. Deepest apologies, corrections, and reparations are more like it.

Lived in a lab cage for 50+ years? That's disgraceful.
