I have worked at Jackson Labs and seen the work done and the treatment of the animals. BTW Jackson is primarily a mammalian genetics research lab, they sell mice to stretch their grant money a bit further. The mice are well kept and killed painlessly (they break their necks). And while I would prefer that this practice wasn't necessary I much prefer that treatments for my loved one's ailments be researched.
