Animals 'can tell right from wrong': Are animals capable of having morals also?
January 03, 2012, via @Wildey2
Until recently it was thought that only humans had the ability to experience complex thought and emotions. However in recent years it has been uncovered by ecologists that animals do have a sense of morality and can tell right from wrong. Animals from mice to wolves are all governed by very similar codes of conduct such as are humans.
Professor Marc Bekoff, from the University of Colorado in Boulder, Co. believes that morals are ‘hard-wired’ into the brains of all mammals. According to him,” morals provide the ‘social glue’ that allow often aggressive and competitive animals to live together in groups”. He admits however that moral codes are species specific and can be difficult to compare with each other or with humans.

Queer or polyamorous dolphin sex is represented as an amusing oddity and as outside of so-called normative sexuality. Nonreproductive and nonheterosexual behaviour, however, runs counter to ideas of nature and procreation, or, in other words, the `natural’ order. Rather than saving sex for reproduction, it seems that dolphins are `playfully erotic’ and androgynous. For ecotourism operators to apply their own meanings to dolphins, dolphins must be sufficiently like humans to allow a sense of connection and sufficiently different to be wild and `other’.
Isabella Rossellini, on Noah’s Ark in her Green Porno series for the Sundance Channel. She asks, “How did Noah do it? Hermaphrodite, transvestite? Transgender, transsexual? Polygamy, monogamy? Homosexual, bisexual? How can it all be heterosexual?”
i love this series.

Isabella shows us some of the sexual diversity among animals: not all species have two distinct sexes, not all individuals remain the same sex forever, not all mate with the “opposite” sex… in brief, she questions the heterocentrism and ciscentrism in our view of animals.
