Most test subjects aren’t in any sort of danger, biologically speaking, so the whole “we now have one less rabbit.” argument doesn’t really matter. We got the phrase “breeds like rabbits” from somewhere, after all.

I would say ethical treatment takes precedence over population.

we go into nature, take out a rabbit to be our test subject, and kill it in the process

or

we go into nature, take out a rabbit to be our test subject, clone the rabbit, and kill the clone in the process, then release the original back into nature

which one sounds better?
