The argument is any "ethic" which requires humanity to do something for something else in return for no reasonable expectation of reciprocity to itself exceeds the boundary of ethics and is nothing but fluffy, masturbatory bullshit.
An animal won't help us because we helped it to reduce its suffering.
Suffering may be seen as bad, but not all of it need to be seen as bad. It's up to you. But If you choose to see suffering in such way that you would inconvenience the broad welfare of humanity reduce it, then may those suffering not only not decrease, but increase by you also getting an additional share of it.
