We can't know anything for sure until we see it happen naturally. Currently to my knowledge, most apes feel pretty much every emotion we do and at least have the most basic form of empathy. There is in fact some research that suggests that animals do in fact have some sense of morality and a sense of right and wrong.

I would have to disagree. But that’s according to my beliefs. And what makes you say animals have a sense of morality and feel the same emotions?

Here's an article that can help explain. It was controversial about ten years ago. I'd try to find newer information but I'm at work now, so I can't really dive into researching it. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/wildlife/5373379/Animals-can-tell-right-from-wrong.html Edit: links broken, I'll see what I can do Edit2: it's back up

I can’t access links as of right now. I’ll check it out when I can.

Fair enough, and if you happen to find articles and research that refute it, please share. Always good to expand your field of knowledge

I will probably look for those as well. And I agree
