No, it comes from a lifetime of observation of animals. Never being without at least one dog. since birth, 70 years, I have 5 now, many cats, aquariums, fresh and salt, since I was 12, I have raised show rabbits, racing pigeons, had a large snake collection, and live in the rural Southwest where I observe a large variety of animals in their natural habitat.Well I think you are wrong, and if you looked at current knowledge concerning animal behaviour then what they do would not be seen as just instinctual. A mention in another thread of injustice being observed in many animal species is one example. How would an animal display this if it didn't have some kind of moral values to compare against? I fear you are just ignoring so much related to animal behaviour because it suits your religious beliefs to do so.
And the article provided by @ChristineM is well worth reading.
I have never seen any fauna species make a moral decision, not once.
