What got me through the rat sudies in college was three things my statistics professor (who ran the rat studies) telling me three things.

They have better Healthcare than you do. They have to be healthy and cared for and all the shots and vet visits possible

Like you said, they do get born for this and are ethically killed

Their life use has to be calculated, scrutinized, debated, and approved by boards designed to keep the horrors of unchecked science at bay. If you want rats to do cocaine, you'll need 30 pages of explanations and forms and approved methodology and proposed scientific benefit, and then they decide if it's worthy or not. Then when you're done, if ANYTHING goes wrong with those rats it has to be documented and explained and accepted or you've just got an absolute rain of hell falling on your tenure and future prospects in animal testing.
