> Regardless, morals can only be applied to humans. Try to apply it to animals and you get nonsense.
This seems overly simplistic. For the sake of argument, I'll accept that moral judgments can only be made for human actions. But when those actions involve animals, they can still be made. People clearly make moral judgments about human cruelty to animals - every US state makes some version of animal cruelty a felony offense. The distinction between the presumed agency of the actor and the acted upon seems important here, and you are conflating them.
