So if animals are so devoid of morality why don't the just kill eachother? Like these guys?
Why don't they rip eachother apart?
These Adorable Squirrels Are Also Baby-Killing Cannibals
Quote:In a study published this week in The Scientific Naturalist, researchers report that North American red squirrel pups often fall victim to attacks from nearby males. Sometimes these murderous males also eat the youngsters they kill.

Or maybe it's simply every-bodies common sense from observation that animals have sense of morality?

Quote:On the other hand, silverbacks have been observed to deliberately kill babies - especially in mountain gorillas. Usually this is the case after a female transferred to another male together with her baby or if a new leading male takes over. This behaviour, called infanticide, is interpreted as a means to shorten the time until the baby's mother becomes fertile again and the new male can sire his own offspring with her.
