Still laughing about the "raptors smarter than humans" statement. That's gold.

As for the part about whether its wrong to give to animal charities rather than human ones, no bloody way. I can give my money to anything I choose, who gives a flying fata what anyone else thinks? The WWE and others get money from me. Animals need a hell of a lot more help than we destructive humans do.
It's absolutely your right to do what you want with your estate. I do a lot of wills for people, and you might be suprised to know how frequently people make gifts to animal charities as opposed to human charities. I never encourage clients towards any particular direction.

I find all the gifts to animal charities a little troubling though. Spend a day at the Children's Hospital or cancer ward. Spend a month in Africa. A day in New Orleans or Baghdad. Then think about whether animals are more deserving of your support.
