I don't think this opinion will be changing anytime soon.
Most animal experimentation is dramatically better regulated now and things have gotten better. The US government, primarily our military, still conducts gruesome and horrific biowarfare WMD experiments at Ft. Meade on animals including intelligent primates, dogs, and cats.
More and more companies are using computer models thankfully, however many chemicals are still tested on animals prior to their commercial introduction. Rats and Rabbits get the worst tests, often having chemicals inserted into their eyes, on their skin, and into their stomachs to test toxicity levels.
Is it morally acceptable? No.

Agreed. It just shows how far along we really are. |
