What makes you say that? Nobody can look into their heads.
Semantics aside, do you think that animals have the ability to contemplate doing the moral things verses doing the immoral thing in the same level that humans can?

Trying to see it from your perspective, with a bedroom peeping god involved, the honest answer is yes. But on this matter we're simply speaking different languages.
Good. I am glad you can see it now.
"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."
