Yes, tricking children is worse, because they are humans. But beluga or dog is not a children, they are not humans. To be humanistic is to be concerned about humans. It somehow leads to be concerned about other animals too, but humans first, animals later. As for me it is a matter of prioritizing things. Appealing to the animal cuteness is no more than appealing to an emotions. If you are choosing between human and animal for a mortally dangerous mission, what will be your choice? I see an ethical issue though. There are a lot of discissions about AI killing people. What about animals trained to kill people? If we lay aside the cuteness of animals, is it somehow different from AI?
