Predators are in a sense moral agents - assuming you accept that maintaining equilibrium of the system in which they exist is good - because without predators prey invariably destroy their habitats.
- DominikPeters 10y ago"Moral agents" are usually taken to be those beings that can make moral judgements. Wikipedia says: 'Moral agency is an individual's ability to make moral judgments based on some notion of right and wrong and to be held accountable for these actions. A moral agent is "a being who is capable of acting with reference to right and wrong."' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_agency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_agency)
