Morality in animals

So a while ago i got into an argument about animal morality as theres a guy who did some questionable stuff as revenge to a cat hurting its kitten.( i wont elaborate on this as it was quite unsettling for me and i feel there would be backlash for posting it ). this quite upset me because he could have taken multiple other action, and i argued"its an animal it doesnt understand " and he answered"animals have moral values,it understood what its doing", and because im bad at debating, i lost that fight. i tried to do more research on it but got mixed answers and had to go down "what morali

So , disregarding who was in the right and wrong, do animals in general have an innate sense of morality? if so, in what ways, and which animals? and how far can it be compared to our sense of morality?

Is anyone else so obsessed with their pet?

I’m not weird or anything—just a uni girl living her best life with her bestest friend in the world 🐾. Sometimes, I get to this point where I realize I can’t imagine loving anyone as much as I love her. Thinking of life without her makes me bawl my eyes out 🥹. Idk if this is still healthy or not, but all I know is that we’re going to spend our years together, happy and full of love! 💓

Flying Leopard

The Flying Leopard is the largest bat in the world. It is also a megabat from South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, East Africa, and some oceanic islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Flying leopards also feed on nectar on flowers. They are different from flying foxes. They can grow up to 6 metres long and weigh around 1 tonne.

My friends cat needs your help link below

https://gofund.me/a9554215

This is her post on face book she works with me at kautex

Hey friends.. so I really try not to ask for handouts.. but desperate times...

My cat Zoey (5 years old) has had re-occurring bladder issues for a couple months now. She's having accidents, her belly is distended, she's meowing in pain, and her urine is almost completely red from a 9mm and a 3mm crystal stone that is cutting through her bladder. On November 9th, I had to bring both Zoey AND my dog into the vet at the same time (for different issues) and it cost us 2300 dollars for tests and their antibiotics. DOG has healed fine but Zoeys bladder issues did not resolve. She was seen by a new vet on December 10th and 12th, for antibiotics and testing (both visits costs us $578 together), and the vet said the only way to treat her is to remove the stones and repair her bladder with a surgery and the cost is going to be close to $4,500.

I know it's Christmas time, I know everyone has their own struggles.. but this is our baby.. And I just can't afford to spend 5 grand by myself (on top of the nearly 3000 we've already spent in the past 6 weeks) so I'm putting pride aside and reaching out my hand, asking for any help you can offer.

If you cannot donate, I completely understand, and just ask that you share my post.

Edit : I've posted pictures of the bills we've already paid, the estimates and her xray/ urine sample (which is now almost completely red blood cells) on the gofundme page and also in my original posts comments.

Chance of Red Wolves still in Maryland?

Now before you say your eyes were playing tricks on you I’ve been an outdoorsman all my life and I still believe what I saw to this day. Almost 20 years ago now I was out with my family on the Chesapeake Bay/Potomac River for July 4th and we saw a red wolf near Point Lookout State Park. I’ve lived with coyotes all my life this dude was big, long legs, and even the bright red fur. We were able to get around 50 feet away from it with the boat and this guy was every bit of a 60+ pound dog. We don’t have big coyotes like that here and this was in the middle of summer and usually coyotes are skinny with no hair that time of year. My question is is there a slim chance any of them are left in Maryland? Has anyone else seen one in the last 10-20 years here or even on the eastern shore? There has to be a few running around that eastern part of Maryland it’s still very undeveloped. I know they’ve went extinct and brought them back in North Carolina (very cool going down to Alligator River in OBX definite must do), but other than occasional one coming into south east Virginia they haven’t moved that much so this wasn’t one of the ones that’s been brought back based on location it was a true wild wolf lol. Thanks for reading.
