Well I won't step into the pros and cons of human cloning yet but as far as other animals go, I think the main advantage is the ability to carefully control the qualities of the subject animal, thereby providing a more valid experimental participant, which is essential for good science. I'm not really the most religious person so the god question doesn't really come into play for me, but as with any research I think it is essential to work to eliminate any sort of suffering the research participant may feel. This is a tenet of the ethical code all reputable research institutions follow.
