All value judgements are subjective. "Better" and "worse" are value judgements, not statements about reality, so they cannot be objective. But subjectively I agree with you that we treat animals awfully, not even mainly in science experiments - at least they have a tangible benefit. Just look at the way animals are bred to be tortured and murdered in factory farms.
