Cancers are regularly induced in mice and rats. Almost every single medicine has been tested on animals before they're used on humans. Modern medicine is built on animal models. It's unfortunate, but a sufficient tradeoff a vast majority of people are willing to make.

I’m not entirely sure what you are saying. Is it not cruel, or that the cruelty is OK?

They're saying it's cruel, but some cruelty is sometimes needed if the benefits for humanity are worth it.
