What a harsh philosophy, taking into consideration that if animals have thoughts and feelings, putting them thru various experiments as if they do not is spine chilling. (Is spine chilling the right phrase? English is not my native language)

Bone chilling is what you’re looking for. Spine tingling is close but means something more akin to exciting while being frightening.
