Actually, many non-human animals have been shown to have strong view on fairness .
If we assume evolution is mostly correct, then the assumption that "morality" only originated in humans is rather suspect; it should be a component of every social animal.
Cows are herd animals. Thus very likely to have a sense of morality.
- amrocha 4y agoFairness and morality aren't the same thing. Just because something is fair doesn't mean it's moral e.g.: splitting the baby in half, an eye for an eye, etc. Morals are a specifically human societal feature.
