If you haven't watched this documentary, you should. Everyone should be aware of animal cruelty. I burst out crying during the pets section and had to stop for a bit. This is extremely horrifying but you should watch it anyway.

Any alien life looking down on us would probably think we're far from being ready to explore space based on the barbaric practices we do to each other and to other species.
Also to ask me such a question of a scenario that would never make it to reality isn't a solid argument point. The scenario you present is also missing too much information on why I am being given this choice so I can't give you an answer.
Stopping animal cruelty and treating every species with respect and sharing this world between us all isn't living in fantasy. It is the balance that you are speaking of and what needs to happen in order to secure our future. Things are going to get worse with the environmental changes and population growth that is occurring at this time. If the gap between humanity and the planet we live on continues to widen, we'll not have one in the end.
I donno, it's not fun watching an animal getting slaughtered. But long ago people used to have to do all this themselves to get the meat. Thankfully we don't have to do that anymore. And nothing gets waisted, everything is used for something. So yeah, circle of life, I guess.
I didn't have time to watch the rest of the video cuz I'm at work. But yeah, test animals in labs, that should stop.
But yeah, without a doubt this video is hard to watch.
