Do animals have morals?
When “Do animals have morals?” is asked, I’m puzzled because it’s an animal that asks.
Why does an animal ask what animals have?
I think it’s because some animals don’t know that there’s two types of animals.
- The wordless — not to be mistaken for the worthless — categorised by the wordy into an estimated 5 to 7 million different species.
- The wordy — not to be mistaken for the worthy — 1 only specie on Earth, though to be fair, there’s 9 billion of us and counting.
Maybe some of us ignore there’s two types of animals because the preachers, teachers, and professors lied to us at school. But does blaming our preachers, teachers, professors, and schools make sense?
I don’t think so because among the 5 to 7 million different animal species, we’re the only one that builds schools for preachers, teachers, professors, and pupils.
But why? For the telling of lies? I find that hard to believe. How about you?
Be it as it may, after leaving school, every graduate can clearly see that the wordy mammals and the wordless mammals breathe, eat, drink, eliminate, procreate, sense, and behave the same.
The only difference between us and them are words.
Words are why we’re talking about animals and the wordless aren’t.
The wordless
The wordless animals never learned words, and with morals a word, they don’t have it.
The wordy
Morals being a word proves we have it.
TAKEAWAY
“Do animals have morals?” depends on the type of animal asked.
