If I had to choose (which I don't) between the life of those cows and the ignorant dirt bags that have by any definition tortured those cows. I would still preserve human life. That's not to say those people don't deserve to be in prison. But in the culture I was raised in, the same culture that you yourself live in (whether you like it or not) considers taking a human life to be taboo. We're a complex society, so we have a lot of exceptions to that taboo, but cows are food and humans are my peers.
We should be very careful about killing even the worst human beings. And I can't think of any situation today where it would be acceptable to execute a person to punish them for torturing an animal. Nor can I think of a situation where a snap decision between saving an animal and a human being would allow you to evaluate a human's worth in a nuanced enough way to choose the animal's life first.
As for your final comments. You need to be a little more rigorous on the accurate of your information sources. Perhaps diversify. As there are plenty of examples where animal experimentation are a vital training tool.
