Chimpanzees Tell Right from Wrong



Justice: Chimpanzees punish those who break their groups' strict rules

Similarly, mice react more strongly to pain when they have seen another mouse in pain.

‘The belief that humans have morality and animals don’t is a long-standing assumption, but there is a growing amount of evidence that is showing us that this simply cannot be the case,’ Prof Bekoff told the Sunday Telegraph.

‘Just as in humans, the moral nuances of a particular culture or group will be different from another, but they are certainly there.

‘Moral codes are species specific, so they can be difficult to compare with each other or with humans.’

His conclusions will provide ammunition for animal welfare groups pushing to have creatures treated more humanely."

  2. Hi ZarryFlarer;
    Thank you for your comment. Your story was wonderful and I wanted to direct people to your site to see the wonderful things you have written about. Also back to you about keeping up the great work. The animals indeed, need us to educate people on them so that they can appreciate them for who they are, individual's, such as us.
    Thanks again.
