There has been a moral component to the notion of fairness since the 13th Century. This is not disputable. Therefore, one cannot discuss the concept without including that aspect of its meaning.
There are other aspects as well. I mentioned these: propriety, to be equitable, unbiased. Note your response to the three animal behaviors. The explanations reduce to simple bald assertion. There is no verification schema. They have no more force than if one were to say a monkey steals food from another because it was jealous, or angry, or bored, or it is Tuesday. Your reply is uncompelling and unconvincing. Moreover, your reply doesn't even demonstrate any of the other elements to fairness: propriety, equitability, unbiasedness. You reduce the meaning to whatever the subject does: the subject does X, therefore it is fair. This is absurd. There is no equitability in a lion killing the cubs of a newly won pride: no equity for the females or the young who die. There is no equity in an alpha wolf eating first and to its own content, while others watch. It is an example of power and others bowing to it. If a man, because he is stronger than his wife and children forced them to stand by while he ate first, you wouldn't consider it a demonstration of fairness. Should a monkey steal food from another, theft is not an equitable action, by definition. It is to prioritize the self over another. Your explanations are wanting. Your understanding of the concept of fairness, flawed.
We simply have differing opinions on this matter. Would you like me to list sources for me information?
