Living in the wild selects for fast healing, as a an evolutionary fitness function. Wounded individuals that don't heal fast are going to be more prone to deadly infections compared to fast healers.

Is it possible that fight wounds and surgical wounds have different properties, and surgery results in slower healing?

We collectively kill billions of animals per year for food with little regard for their welfare, and much of that food is then wasted. There is probably more gained through such studies relatively speaking.
Does that mean we should do them? I don't know, but that decision should be related to how we treat other animals more generally. I always found it strange that the "no animals were harmed in the making of this film" disclosure seemingly exempts the catering tent.
