    Yeah it’s bullshit. Pro-social animals like dogs, primates, elephants understand group norms and social expectations e.g. appeasement behaviour. Its probably how our own “morality” developed as a species.

    And there’s evidence to suggest some species like dolphins absolutely do exhibit moral type behaviour like fairness and cooperation.

      Your examples, and honestly calling it bullshit, operate under your human understanding of right and wrong.
