I think his point is that they should not receive equal, or even superior status to humans. Push comes to shove, yes a rat is expendable for a human life - is it not?
Vivisection is a grey area in my book. I think animals can be justifiably 'abused'; in the interests of medical science, animal testing is just about acceptable. I do not like it, but to protect animals at the possible expense of curing a terminal disease or condition is worse.
Animal testing for cosmetics - well lets not go there.
