I believe that we experiment on animals because they are powerless to stop us, and we count their pain as unimportant when measured against our own interests.
Is there something wrong with the second part of the above sentence, " we count their pain as unimportant when measured against our own interests", from grammar? Is there a better way to express the same meaning? Thanks.

We
percieve their pain......
Using "count" in that way is gramatical but a little old fashioned, but there is nothing wrong. Good English.
