I think animals still do have some level of choice, especially the more sentient ones. I could be wrong about that though.
But I definitely think they are much more driven by instinct and more automatic programming than we are. We have the ability to think and rationalize in ways that they can't.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
