II. Respect for Persons and Their Goods

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2417
God entrusted animals to the stewardship of those whom he created in his own
image.¹⁹⁷ Hence it is legitimate to use animals for food and clothing.
They may be domesticated to help man in his work and leisure. Medical and
scientific experimentation on animals is a morally acceptable practice, if it
remains within reasonable limits and contributes to caring for or saving human
lives.
