Nope, it is that these types of actions are older than humanity. Animals steal, rape, murder, go to war, and enslave other animals. Humans did not invent these things.
Keep doing what everyone else does and you will get the same disease like everyone else. Cancer, Diabetes and Heart Attacks. Nature will teach you what is right and wrong.
The point isn't that it is good if animals do it. The point is to refute the wrong idea that animals are better than humans, or that humans are inherently evil.
Nobody is worse or better it is just that all actions have a consequence. Communication helps us understand and grow
#consciousness. We have so much power once we take responsibility.
Right. Animals don't know the difference between good and evil so they are neutral. Only humans can be good or evil depending on their choice of their actions toward other humans.
Actually animals have a sense of morality. So they can be good or evil, according to their terms. Morality is also older than humanity.
No they don't. All they have is survival instinct.
Why would you assume that?
Because morality requires a lot of reflexion and empathy which both are absent from animals in a very significant way.
Both were once assumed to be absent in animals. Now we know it was a wrong assumption. There is very little that we have that other species do not. Larger brains is about all we have.
Larger brains dont help if most people keep just using a small part of it.
Everyone uses all their brain, if you are referring to the old claim that we only use 10%. It is not a good idea to make claims about brain use though when supporting communism.
I know that
#LSD consumption activates large parts of the brain & that many people never use LSD so they miss out on this chance to grow consciousness:

Regular Meditation grows consciousness 😉
That is wrong. LSD does not activate anything normally unused. It often makes the simple seem profound though. I did enjoy it when I was young.
Wrong. Empathy and reflection in animals is way too limited to generate morality. Animals are 100% selfish even those living in social groups.
Even if it was limited it still exists. Also animals are not completely selfish. I guess you are going by old information.
They are like 99.99% selfish. Not enough to get any moral values.
they are all shellfish!?!?
Yeah that is an old assumption. Turns out it was wrong.
Yeah sure. Have you ever had a pet?
Yes, but you should look at more than just personal experience with pets. Pets are bred for specific traits. It is better to look at studies of other species.
Yeah well pet are bred to be somewhat empathic with humans. That only reenforce my point.
Try looking up what studies on the subject are finding. It turns out morality is found in the animal kingdom.
Color me skeptic. Even if true, anecdotal evidence isn't the norm.
Which is why you should look at the objective studies instead of your anecdotal evidence.
have there been studies on this? sounds interesting. heard of animals sacrificing themselves but cant remember the details
There has. This is a good starting place to hear about newer findings.
loved this video! laughed when the monkey threw the cucumber at the researcher 😂!
