Or A Wild Female Elephant Who Cared For A Younger One After She Was Injured By A Rambunctious Teenage Male? Or A Rat Who Refused To Push A Lever For Food When He Saw That Doing So Caused Another Rat To Be Shocked? Arent These Clear Signs That Animals Have Recognizable Emotions And Moral Intelligence? With Wild Justice Marc Bekoff And Jessica Pierce Unequivocally Answer Yes.Marrying Years Of Behavioral And Cognitive Research With Compelling And Moving Anecdotes, Bekoff And Pierce Reveal That Animals Exhibit A Broad Repertoire Of Moral Behaviors, Including Fairness, Empathy, Trust, And Reciprocity.
