I think with animals, a lot of it is simply instinct driven... rather than an awareness of morality and striving to do the moral thing.
When we hear about a bear or a shark killing a person, we certainly don't hold that animal morally culpable for its action, the way we do when a human does it.

"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."
