Either all animals have free will or they do not. Saying a crocodile is more controlled by his instinct than a human is a moot fucking point. More or less, it does not matter.

Nothing has free will. But it is human nature to fit complex but deterministic behavior by themselves and those perceived to be like themselves in a flawed but instinctive framework they call freewill.
There you have it. I disagree that all behavior is deterministic, but it's either you have it or you do not. It's not worth arguing levels of free will.
