It's not wrong to train a dog to salivate at the ring of a bell for an experiment in association, and it's not wrong to teach a chimpanzee to communicate via sign language. But I find it is wrong to feed the animal a chemical that could potentially harm them, just for the sake of guessing what effect it will have on humans. Same goes for rats when scientists mess with their brains to see if they can still run in a maze.
