Countries which had their developpement level increase have increased their exploitation of non-human animals. See for example the explosion of factory farming in Chinaoverthe last decades.
To me, your statement is simply false, unless we were only talking pets, but that would be silly since they are in such a minority.
Moreover, I’d argue that the reverse is correct: making progress regarding the animal exploitation would benefit hugely human beings for several independant reasons:
Climate change: The animal exploitation is one of the main driver of climate change.
Health: Animal agriculture constitutes a huge risk of catastrophic pandemy.

Famine:
Humanity is raising and killing 90+ billion land animals each year, yet there is somehow still human people starving eventhough they are only 7 billion. For one example, it is estimated that “replacing all animal-based items in the U.S. diet with nutritionally equivalent plant-based alternatives would free enough land to feed an additional 350 million people”
