Just a thought.

The planes of human consciousness and above are in a whole new and separate category then that which is below it, ala elements, minerals, plants, and then animals. There exists a gradient though between the creatures and the planes. Meaning the highest mineral will be similar in awareness to the lowest plant, and the highest plant similar to lowest animal.
But going along with your question, to be truly benevolent we wouldn't even be able to exist.
As every step we take would squish an atom which has a basic love/fear consciousness, or scientifically speaking, attract/repel. This is where common sense needs to come into play.
Edit:
Oops I meant to add that what is happening now to animals is
PURE EVIL. They are being skinned alive and hung from hooks every single minute of every day. They are being burnt, electrocuted, and tortured in ways we all need to become aware of, because anyone with any sense of humanity would be sickened if they really knew what was happening in meat processing plants. We need to become aware so it will stop..
Watch this video meat eaters! It doesn't bite... or live in ignorance.
