In fact, physically strong animals, who are armed by nature with claws, horns or jaws, with which they can kill, have developed strong morals. In a fight for territory, over food or partners, they would spare life of the one of their kind, who was defeated. Humans were not armed by nature with such means, all they could do is to knock with a fist, scratch or attempt to strangle the opponent, and the victim had enough chances to attack back or escape. The invention of tools and then weapons has given a power to kill to humans, which wasn’t suiting for them by nature, as the appropriate morals have not yet been developed to the point of becoming an instinct. (See: Konrad Lorenz.)
And in fact, by introducing the animals to our settlements might be a good thing, as humans could learn a thing or two. (Indeed not possible yet, when the world is split.)
