I think you're reading me more broadly than I meant you to. As I mentioned in my comment, at a minimum, any utilitarian system would consider an action's morality in light of what would happen in the absence of that action. Yes, people absolutely do subscribe to utilitarian systems, at least as a component of their overall moral stance.
There are also of course many moral systems that do not value the welfare of other species as highly as that of humans.
Does anyone actual subscribe to such a belief? Do you?
