The Future of Consciousness

In a hypothetical world, consciousness is only something that human beings possess. What happens when society gets a free pass to think of animals as biological algorithms? Does everything non-conscious in this type of society just become a resource to improve the state of conscious beings? Why not have amusement parks like SeaWorld, where you got orcas and dolphins performing all day? And even better than that, why not have monkeys that ride around on motorcycles? That'd be pretty cool. I mean, there's a lot of ideas you can come up with that may give someone a pleasurable conscious experience if that's what mattered to you most.
