Most animals don't have moral codes. Their faculties are not up to it. A
wolf about to tear the throat of a rabbit out is not making a moral
judgement, it is merely trying to live. So animals are amoral. That's
not good, not bad, that's just where they are on the evolutionary
ladder.

<maybe some animals do... I will not go down that road, though, it's a
false refutatory>

IMHO, it's difficult not to conclude that bonobo apes probably have the
mental faculties for moral codes.

So stipulated. I did use both "Most" and "maybe" in my post. Doesn't
dilute the argument...
