      Animals don’t share our sense of morality and it would be ridiculous to expect them to.

      We also don’t typically arrest other species.

        this sounds like you are judging individuals based on their membership in a class. this sounds like paternalistic speciesism.

        “typically”

        I’m going to need the examples you’re thinking of where we did please… they should be quite amusing with my morning coffee tomorrow :-)

          I’m not them, but

          https://www.weirdhistorian.com/a-few-cases-of-killer-pigs-facing-capital-punishment/

          Note: I suggest you don’t look up “(type of animal) arrested,” because most of what pops up is horrible people arrested for doing terrible things to animals. (Although a couple cats have been “arrested” in modern times.) I just happened to remember the pig trials of yore.

            Sadly this is not amusing as I had hoped at all … I should have expected as much. :-(

            not to mention that when sharks attack people, they often go and kill a shark in retaliation. same goes with dogs who attack people.
