I think superintelligence/FAI is a critical far future factor that could very much benefit from animal advocacy. Caring about animals (and lesser minds in general) is very important from the perspective of FAI. If such an AI ends up taking some "Coherent Extrapolated Volition" of humanity as the basis of it's utility function, then we need "care for lesser minds" to be a strong component of this, else we are doomed.
