INFORMED consent. INFOOORMEDAH!
The example you provided in the OP is an example of non-informed consent because it depends on the animal not really knowing the full extent of what's going on. It would be implicitly consenting to eating the peanut butter by voluntarily doing it on instinct, but it would not be knowingly consenting to licking the hypothetical human's junk until he and/or she came on themselves because (as you stated) it wouldn't have any way of comprehending what was really happening there.
By the same logic you propose in the OP, one might ask what's wrong with using similar tactics (food or what have you) to coax the same behavior out of an adult human who (because of a substance or whatever reason) didn't have the mental capacity to fully comprehend or maybe even remember what happened. Would that be any more or less wrong than doing it to a dog?

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
