        If you pay someone to do harm, it’s still commonly considered that you have caused that harm. I don’t see how this differs in real moral terms.

        And I don’t care whether it’s legal, that has never been a moral basis for anything.

        The issue is that they went to great lengths to cover up how many animals died in their testing, had no plans for long-term care after the testing that anyone can find or produce, and generally acted flagrantly against most every guideline of ethical animal testing in the civilized world.
