I think animals have a sense of injustice, too. Look at what happens if I show preference to one of my dogs-- it gets offended, grumpy, jealous. Clearly, it understands that something is wrong with the world. If my beagle would speak at such times, I'm sure he would say it's immoral of me to play with my Yorkie too much.
