Tiere

 

Haushuhn

Huhn und Hahn

 

Die Tiere empfinden wie der Mensch
Freude und Schmerz, Glück und Unglück.


Charles Darwin (1809-1882) britischer Naturforscher, Biologe, Entwickler der biologischen Evolutionstheorie, zitiert in: Aphorismen.de

 


 

Herdentiere entscheiden demokratisch – Alphatiere genießen sexuelle Präferenz.

Die DNS von Säugetieren ist auf Demokratie ausgerichtet, ihr Entscheidungszentrum im Gehirn ist demokratisch.
Alphahirsche entscheiden nicht für die Herde, sie haben lediglich die Wahl hinsichtlich ihrer sexuellen Vorliebe.

 

Krater
Eine Herde Gnus, Ngorongoro Einbruchkrater, Tansania

Die Biologen Dr. Timothy J. Roper und Dr. Larissa Conradt von der Universität Sussex in Cornwall, England, führten eine Studie über die Entscheidungsfindung in Tierherden durch.

 

Demokratische einfache Mehrheitsentscheidung von 51%

Die Herde entscheidet zu 51%, wohin sie jeweils weiterzieht, um zu grasen.

 

Demokratische Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheitsentscheidung
von 66% bei Gefahr

Sind Raubtiere in der Nähe, muss die Gruppen-
entscheidung überragend mehrheitlich ausfallen, ehe die Herde entsprechend handelt. Wenn Gefahr droht, zieht die Herde erst weiter, wenn zwei Drittel (66%) der Herdetiere auf ein bestimmtes Wasserloch hinweisen.

 

Diese demokratischen Wahlmuster sind im gesamten biologischen Spektrum anzutreffen, von Insekten bis hin zu den Orangutans. Alle Herdenmitglieder entscheiden anhand der von ihnen geäußerten Verhaltensanzeichen.

Zitate zum Thema Tiere / Animals

Zitate allgemein

Die Wölfe werden bei den Lämmern wohnen und der Pardel bei den Böcken liegen. Ein kleiner Knabe
wird Kälber und junge Löwen und Mastvieh miteinander treiben. Kühe und Bären werden an der Weide
gehen, dass ihre Jungen beieinander liegen; und Löwen werden Stroh essen wie die Ochsen. Und ein
Säugling wird seine Lust haben am Loch der Otter und ein Entwöhnter wird seine Hand stecken in die
Höhle des Basilisken.
Jesaja 11, 6-8 (AT)

 

Wolf und Lamm sollen weiden zugleich, der Löwe wird Stroh essen wie ein Rind, und die Schlange soll
Erde essen. Sie werden nicht schaden noch verderben auf meinem ganzen heiligen Berge, spricht
der HERR.
Jesaja 65, 25 (AT)

 

Persönliche Bekenntnisse

  • Dass mir der Hund das Liebste sei, sagst du, o Mensch, sei Sünde?
    Der Hund blieb mir im Sturme treu, der Mensch nicht mal im Winde.
    Zugeschrieben Franz von Assisi [Giovanni Bernadone] (1181/82-1226) italienischer katholischer Heiliger, Ordensbruder, Prediger, Gründer der Franziskanischen Orden, Sozialreformer, zitiert in: Aphorismen.de

 

  • Ich glaube, dass menschlicher Fortschritt an einem gewissen Punkt von uns verlangt, dass wir aufhören, unsere Mitlebewesen zur Befriedigung unserer körperlichen Verlangen zu töten. Die Größe und den moralischen Fortschritt einer Nation kann man daran ermessen, wie sie die Tiere behandelt.
    Fälschlich zugeschrieben Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) indischer hinduistischer Weiser, spiritueller
    Führer der indischen Unabhängigkeitsbewegung, Menschenrechtsanwalt, gewaltloser Widerstandskämpfer zur Durchsetzung politischer Ziele, humanistischer Weiser, asketischer Morallehrer, Pazifist, Publizist, zitiert in: Artikel Gandhi's Hoax Quote,

  • Ich glaube, es fiele mir nicht schwer, unter Tieren zu leben. Sie sind so still und genügsam. Sie rackern sich nicht ab, sie jammern nicht, wie schlecht sie dran sind. Sie wälzen sich nachts nicht im Bett, um ihre Sünden zu beklagen. Sie öden mich nicht an, indem sie mir ihre Pflichten gegenüber Gott darlegen. Keines von ihnen ist unzufrieden, keines infiziert vom Wahn, etwas besitzen zu müssen, keines beugt vor seinen Artgenossen das Knie, auch nicht vor irgend-
    einem, der seit Jahrtausenden tot ist. Keines hat einen Ruf zu verlieren, keines von ihnen ist unglücklich über diese Welt. Walt Whitman (1819-1892) US-amerikanischer Quäker, Journalist, Dichter, Schriftsteller, Hauptwerk mit Gedichten Grashal-

Hesses Hausbesorgerin beobachtete: Wildvögel näherten sich Hermann Hesse.

  • Er sei sehr scheu gewesen, sagt sie, habe sich nur mit wenigen Menschen unterhalten. Einmal morgens habe sie sein Zimmer geputzt, und beim Blick aus dem Fenster habe sie beobachtet, wie ihm eine Dohle aus der Hand fraß. Frau Schneider sagt: »Ich fragte mich, ob es eine zahme Dohle war oder ob der Vogel gemerkt hat, dass vor ihm ein ganz besonderer Mensch stand.« Artikel Schlussakt mit Hesse, präsentiert von der überregionalen deutschen Wochenzeitung Die Zeit, Tomas Niederberghaus, Nr. 43, 16.

  • Dem Tier gegenüber sind heute alle Völker mehr oder weniger Barbaren. Es ist unwahr und grotesk, wenn sie ihre vermeintliche hohe Kultur bei jeder Gelegenheit betonen und dabei tagtäglich die scheußlichsten Grausamkeiten an Millionen von wehrlosen Geschöpfen begehen oder doch gleichgültig zulassen.

Kooperation und gegenseitige Hilfe sind ein zentrales Element im Verhalten von Menschen und Tieren.

Siehe auch: Studien des deutsch-russischen Biologen Karl F. Kessler zur gegenseitigen Hilfe unter Vögeln in Osteuropa

  • Jedesmal indessen, wo man daran ging, zu diesem alten Prinzip [der gegenseitigen Hilfe] zurückzukehren, wurde seine Grundidee erweitert. Vom Clan dehnte es sich zur Völkerschaft aus, zum Bund der Völkerschaften, zum Volk und schließlich – wenigstens im Ideal – zur ganzen Menschheit. Zugleich wurde es auch veredelt. Im ursprünglichen Buddhismus, im Urchristentum, in den Schriften mancher muselmanischen Lehrer, in den ersten Schriften der Reformation und besonders in den ethischen und philosophischen Bewegungen des letzten Jahrhunderts und unserer eigenen Zeit, setzt sich der völlige Verzicht auf die Idee der Rache oder Vergeltung – Gut um Gut und Übel um Übel – immer kräftiger durch. Die höhere Vorstellung: "Keine Rache für Übeltaten" und freiwillig mehr zu geben, als man von seinen Nächsten zu erhalten erwartet, wird als das wahre Moralprinzip verkündigt – als ein Prinzip, das wertvoller ist als der Grundsatz des gleichen Maßes oder die Gerechtigkeit, und das geeigneter ist, Glück zu schaffen. Und der Mensch wird aufgefordert, sich in seinen Handlungen nicht bloß durch die Liebe leiten zu lassen, die sich immer nur auf Personen, bestenfalls auf den Stamm bezieht, sondern durch das Bewusstsein seiner Einheit mit jedem Menschen. In der Betätigung gegenseitiger Hilfe, die wir bis an die ersten Anfänge der Entwicklung verfolgen können, finden wir also den positiven und unzweifelhaften Ursprung unserer Moralvorstellungen; und wir können behaupten, dass in dem ethischen Fortschritt des Menschen der gegenseitige Beistand – nicht gegenseitiger Kampf – den Hauptanteil gehabt hat. In seiner umfassenden Betätigung – auch in unserer Zeit – erblicken wir die beste Bürgschaft für eine noch stolzere Entwicklung des Menschengeschlechts.
    Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921) russischer Anarchist, Geograph, Schriftsteller, Gegenseitige Hilfe in der Tier- und Menschenwelt ["Mutual Aid. A Factor of Evolution", 1902], 1904

 

  • Die Grausamkeit gegen die Tiere und auch schon die Teilnahmslosigkeit gegenüber ihren Leiden ist meiner Ansicht nach eine der schwersten Sünden des Menschengeschlechts, sie ist die Grundlage der menschlichen Verderbtheit.
    Romain Rolland (1866-1944) französischer Pazifist, Musikkritiker, Schriftsteller, Nobelpreisträger für Literatur, 1915, Brief an
    Magnus Schwantje, 8. April 1915

 

  • Tiere sind nicht nur eine andere Spezies, sie sind andere Nationen und wir ermorden sie auf eigene Gefahr. Der Friedensplan wird auf der Speisekarte entworfen. Frieden ist nicht nur die Abwesenheit von Krieg, sondern das Vorhandensein von Gerechtigkeit. Gerechtigkeit muss blind sein für Rasse, Hautfarbe, Religion oder Spezies.
    Wenn sie nicht blind ist, wird sie zu einer Waffe des Terrors. Und jetzt, in diesem Moment, herrscht ein entsetz-
    licher Terror in den Guantanamos, die wir Massentierhaltung und Schlachthöfe nennen.

  • Ein Meisterstück, die sechseckige Zelle, erreicht freilich die absolute Vollkommenheit in jeder Hinsicht, und alle Ge-
    nies zusammen könnten nichts mehr daran verbessern. Kein lebendes Wesen, selbst der Mensch nicht, hat in seiner
    Sphäre das erreicht, was die Biene in der ihren verwirklicht hat, und wenn ein Geist aus einer anderen Welt auf die
    Erde herabstiege und die vollkommenste Schöpfung der Logik des Lebens zu sehen begehrte, so müsste man ihm
    die schlichte Honigwabe zeigen. Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949) belgischer Dramatiker, Schriftsteller, Friedrich von Oppeln-Bronikowski, Übersetzer, Das Leben der Biene, S. 234, Eugen Diedrichs, Leipzig, 1901, 1924

 

  • Noch nie war die Kluft so groß, die das, was Menschen im Umgang mit Tieren für richtig halten, und das, was tatsächlich praktiziert wird, voneinander trennt. […] Solange wir unsere Ernährung und unser persönliches Verhältnis zu Tieren als Privatsache auffassen, so lange wird die millionenfache Grausamkeit gegen Tiere weiterhin gesellschaftlich akzeptiert.

  • Einen Hund kann man sich halten, aber mit Katzen ist es anders. Die Katze hält sich ihre Leute, denn für sie sind die Menschen nützliche Haustiere. Ein Hund tut uns schön, aber der Katze müssen wir schöntun. Der Hund ist ein Angestellter, die Katze ein freier Mitarbeiter.

Gedichte

  • Frau Grete hatt’ ein braves Huhn,
    Das wußte seine Pflicht zu tun.
    Es kratzte hinten, pickte vorn,
    Fand hier ein Würmchen, da ein Korn,
    Erhaschte Käfer, schnappte Fliegen
    Und eilte dann mit viel Vergnügen
    Zum stillen Nest, um hier geduldig
    Das zu entrichten, was es schuldig.
    Fast täglich tönte sein Geschrei:
    »Viktoria, ein Ei, ein Ei!«
Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908) deutscher Zeichner, humoristischer Dichter, Gedicht Frau Grete hatt' ein braves Huhn,

General quotes

Can an Ethiopian change his skin or a leopard its spots?
Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil.
Jeremiah 13, 23 New International Version (OT)

 

Do not give holy things to the dogs; and do not throw your pearls before the swine, for they might
tread them with their feet, and then turn and rend you.
Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 7, 6 (NT) Lamsa Bible

 

For the fate of people and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; they
all have the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile.
Ecclesiastes 3, 19 (NT) Holman Christian Standard Bible

Rite of passage: Gaining the trust of an angry stallion – ancient power archetype

  • I thought that I could win him [my angry life threateningly dangerous stallion] over through kindness, sympathy, understanding and bodywork. He wasn't having any of that. He actually demanded that I become powerful in order to work with him. That also became a metaphor for me of what we're facing in our culture. The whole reason there are so many bullies and sociopaths in power is because the empathetic, compassionate people out there in the world have not exercised a different form of power where they can stand up to those people in a way that creates productive social change. I realized it wasn't enough to be empathetic and understanding and compassionate. I also had to have [warmhearted connecting] power in order to rehabilitate this very angry abused stallion who would threaten my life. So I think more people who are sympathetic and understanding must step in that new kind of power in order to change the world because otherwise we will keep the bullies and sociopaths in power.

  • [Animals] know if I'm being honest and they'll tell me if I'm being honest and that's all that really matters. Especially goats. I don't have any goats right now but a goat will tell you immediately. If they don't think you're being honest they'll butt you. Llamas will spit at you. Or let you touch them if you're being honest. They'll rub up against you. And that's such a rewarding thing and that to me is worth everything.

Recommendations

  • Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) Russian writer of novels, short stories and essays, Constance Garnett, translator, The Brothers Karamazov, book VI, chapter 3 "Conversations and Exhortations of Father Zossima; Of Prayer, of Love, and of Contact with other Worlds", 1879-1880

 

 

Conclusion

 

Future prospect

  • When birds fall from the sky and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the Rainbow. Hopi prophecy
  • […] When we have passed beyond humanity, then we shall be the Man.
    The Animal was the helper; the Animal is the bar. […]
    Transform the Animal into the Driver of the herds; let all thyself be Krishna. This is thy goal.

Four kinds of consciousness

  • In arriving at the stage of Self consciousness, the consciousness of Man has undergone three previous transitions from the state of spiritual consciosness, as Virgin Spirit, namely
    1. Deep, trance-like consciousness – Mineral stage,
    2. Dreamless sleep consciousness – Vegetable stage,
    3. Dream sleep consciousness – Animal stage,
    4. Full waking consciousness – Human stage.
These are what is known as the four states of consciousness of Man.

The god image of monotheism is abnormal and a-relational.

  • Monotheism does not mirror human society. Humans are first and foremost social animals. A deity who was alone, not by choice but because there were no other companions for Him, was a concept without parallel in human society. The god of the Israelites did not have a wife, a son, a daughter, or a mother.

The Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness

Animals (all mammals, birds, and even the octopus) are conscious and aware to the degree that humans are.

  • The absence of a neocortex does not appear to preclude an organism from experiencing affective states. Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors.

  • Many people think of humans and animals to be mostly driven by reward. I do this thing so that I can get something back. I think that is wrong. I think you do things because you have a drive to do things, sometimes even if it’s bad for you or if it hurts you, you will still do it. […] You will say, why do you scale the mountain? Because I feel good. Nonsense. […] You have no choice. That is the kind of animal you are and that is the beauty of it all. You can always say, because I love it, or I do it because it's there, which is not a description of anything. You have no choice, the system has as one of its properties, the pull to do things, to be active, to look, and you can see how this would be a very important selection principle. Animals that explore, animals that move, are the much likeliest possibility to survive than animals that sit.

Altruism research: "This new science of altruism and the physiological underpinnings of compassion is finally catching up with Darwin’s observations nearly 130 years ago, that sympathy is [humanity's] strongest instinct."  Dacher Keltner, Ph.D.(*1962) US American professor of psychology, University of California, Berkeley, altruism researcher, director of the Greater Good Science Center, author, cited in: article 'Survival of the Kindest' – Sympathy is Strongest Human Instinct, presented by the publication impactlab.com, 9.

Cooperation superseding competition:

Men are a profoundly social and caring species.

  • For firstly, the social instincts lead an animal to take pleasure in the society of his fellows, to feel a certain amount of sympathy with them, and to perform various services for them. […] Such actions as the above appear to be the simple result of the greater strength of the social or maternal instincts than that of any other instinct or motive; for they are performed too instantaneously for reflection, or for pleasure or even misery might be felt. In a timid man, on the other hand, the instinct of self-preservation might be so strong, that he would be unable to force himself to run any such risk, perhaps not even for his own child. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) English naturalist, author of the biological theory of evolution, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, 1871

Compassion for strangers is beneficial for evolution.

  • In however complex a manner compassion [sympathy] may have originated as it is one of high importance to all those animals which aid and defend one another it will have been increased through natural selection for those communities which included the greatest number of the most compassionate [sympathetic] members would flourish best and rear the greatest number of offspring.

Scarcity model:

Newton and Descartes offered the first scientific mechanical creation story.
Thomas Malthus, a chief economist, coined the idea 'We are doomed to an endless struggle in scarcity', a rationale for the East India Company to steal from the world.
The original theory of evolution goes back to Darwin's grandfather. Darwin who had adopted the Malthusian model of scarcity had observed competition and cooperation in nature. In his evolutionary theory he had to subvert the cooperation part as it didn't fit the scarcity theory.

  • The universal struggle for life must be thoroughly ingrained in the mind or the whole economy of nature with every fact in it will be dimly seen or misunderstood. It is the doctrine of Malthus applied with manifold force to the whole animal and vegetable kingdom.
    Charles Darwin (1809-1882) English naturalist, author of the biological theory of evolution, The Origin of Species, 1859, cited in: Elisabet Sahtouris, Ph.D. sahtouris.com (*1950) Greek-American post-Darwinian creationist evolutionary biologist, pastist/futurist, promoter of anthropomorphism over mechanomorphism, business consultant, former UN consultant, Learning from Nature to Create Global Family, sponsored by the World Wisdom Council, theme "Creating a New Civilization", sponsored by Goi Peace Foundation, Tokyo, 12.

Pecking order:

Confirming animal hierarchy ⇔ heterarchy: Life itself is the ultimate context and power whereby evolution unfolds "unfairly", for like a cork in the sea, excellence automatically rises to the top. The strongest lion dominates, the cleverest sea urchin survives. The smartest octopus gets to be the biggest, and the fastest runner wins the race. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Truth vs. Falsehood, S. 216, 2005

  • We've always assumed that animals are hierarchical in their social structures: that there’s a lead animal who makes decisions for the group. Particularly in mammalian species, there is an alpha male, or in some cases – wolves, for example – an alpha female, and the assumption was that the alpha male or female had absolute control over the group’s actions, like a monarch. But it turns out that’s not true. Roper and Conradt found that if the herd stops chewing grass and heads to the watering hole, it’s not because the lead animal gave the command. Instead, when 51 percent of the animals start pointing toward the water hole, then the whole herd moves. This is how flocks of birds and schools of fish move, too. And the thresholds vary. When there are predators around, decisions require a super majority: two-thirds have to be pointing toward the water hole before they move. And this goes across the spectrum in biology, from insects to orangutans. By their actions, the members of the group all "vote," if you will. Democracy is in our DNA. Jefferson was right.

    because there were two goats always sacrificed. One
    would be killed and one would be allowed to leave the town
    taking the sins of the town with him. So the one animal that

  • Horses are far more perceptive than most people realize. They have an innate sense of understanding people's characters and personalities and an ability to sense the unspoken. They know your intentions and agenda sometimes even before you do. You can lie to a therapist. You can lie to a friend. You can lie to yourself. But you can’t lie to a horse.

Monkey culture deteriorated with money.

  • A study at Yale, New Haven Hospital trains capuchin monkeys to use silver discs as money in order to study their economic behavior. The discs could be exchanged by the monkeys for various treats. During one chaotic incident, a researcher observed what appeared to be a monkey exchanging a disc for sex. The monkey that was paid for sex immediately traded the silver disc for a grape. The researcher took steps to prevent any possibility of coins being traded for sex after his suspicions were aroused. Wikipedia entry Prostitution among animals
    • When taught to use money, a group of capuchin monkeys responded quite rationally to simple incentives; responded irrationally to risky gambles; failed to save; stole when they could; used money for food and, on occasion, sex. In other words, they behaved a good bit like the creature that most of Chen's more traditional colleagues study: Homo sapiens.

Poems

  • I died as a mineral and became a plant,
    I died as plant and rose to animal,
    I died as animal and I was Man.
    Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
    Yet once more I shall die human,
    To soar with angels blessed above.
    And when I sacrifice my angel soul
    I shall become what no mind ever conceived.
    As a human, I will die once more,
    Reborn, I will with the angels soar.
    And when I let my angel body go,
    I shall be more than mortal mind can know.
    Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence
    Proclaims in organ tones, 'To Him we shall return.'
    Jalal ad-Din Muḥammad Rumi (1207-1273) Persian Muslim Sufi mystic, jurist, theologian, poet, A. J. Arberry, Reynold Alleyne Nicholson, editor, The Mystics of Islam, S. 125, 1914

Quotes by David R. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

 

 

  • Rationality is further undermined by the biological fact that the old reptile and animal brain is still anatomically and functionally present, and its atavistic activity continues to exert a pervasive animal instinct that strengthens predatory tendencies and aggressions. All the instincts of the animal persist and influence or even dominate
    much of the behavioral and feeling states. The emotions of the animal are ever present and close to the surface.
    Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 51, 2001

 

 

 

  • It is of critical importance to note that the capacity to think, reason, and thus mentalize did not replace the mental process of the animal, but instead was merely added on to it. The animal consciousness is interested only in its own survival (including family and pack) and is not interested in providing for, or does it recognize, the needs, the wants, or much less, the value of others. The downside of the consequence of the capacity for cognition when added to animal instincts is comparable to that of giving a child or a mentally impaired person a gun.
    Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), Truth vs. Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, S. 40-41, 2005

Animal spirits calibrate as true.

  • The science of nonlinear dynamics exhibits that, in seemingly random information data, there are hidden organizational energy patterns called 'attractors' There are attractor fields within each level of consciousness, including that of the animal kingdom. It is factual that these patterns can be correctly labeled as animal spirits, which is a long held awareness of mankind from primitive times and calibrates as true by consciousness research. Thus, each group of animals has its own collective memory, unspoken understandings and behaviour patterns. It is on this level of understanding that they are integrated. These energy patterns are subject to the influence of even higher energy patterns because each one sequentially becomes the content of a higher context. Thus, within the evolution of the species, there are an innate intelligence, creativity, and an impressive aesthetic quality. Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), Truth vs Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, chapter 6 "Manifestation Versus Causality: Creation Versus Evolution", S. 58, 2005

 

 

 

  • The ego/mind is a dualistic construction that originated as animal consciousness which, eons later, evolved through primitive homonoids and finally to Homo sapiens, in which a prefrontal cortex was added to the old animal brain, providing the capacity for linear conceptual thought. Thus, initially, the mind primarily became a new tool for the expression of animal instincts through what is now called the ego.

Projection


 

  • Man is between the animals and the angels, in a difficult transitional place, having aspects of both.
    Dr. David R. Hawkins, Houston, Texas, Seminar The Realization of the Presence of God, Unity Church, 11. October 2003

 

  • Survival is me, ego, the animal is driven by hungryness, never enough, the core of the ego is wantingness. It wants more of everything, is greedy, desiring, insatiable, you cannot satisfy it. The average person is driven by this instinct, this primitivism. This is the basic nature of the ego, survival. Once you know that, you can have compassion for it
    [the ego] and treat it like a pet.

Fairness study on altruism, empathy and ethics of animals – Frans de Waal

Empathy is expressed via two channels:

a) the body channel – the ability to understand and share the feelings of another and comfort another
b) the cognitive channel – the ability to take the perspective of another, to recontextualize.

 

Dutch Primatologist Frans de Waal, Ph.D. (*1948) performed a "Fairness study" on benign, self-aware animals. He and his colleague Sarah Brosnan tested the sense of altruism and morality with chimpanzees (apes), dogs and birds, and elephants.
Note on the mirror self-recognition: Next to humans do great apes, dogs, elephants, European magpies (birds), individual owls, bottlenose dolphins, orcas, have the ability to recognize themselves in the mirror.

Reward division – Inequity aversion

When two capuchin monkeys – coopeative by nature and considered as the most intelligent New World monkeys – each received a cucumber treat, they performed the requested task in the lab many times in a row. If one of them was rewarded with higher valued grapes and the other one merely with cucumber – the latter felt cheated and soon started to protest by either refusing to further comply or to eat the cucumber.

Smiling peaceful bonobo

Monkeys will accept and eat a piece of cucumber whenever they receive it, but not when they witness their partner getting a better deal. This reaction known as "inequity aversion" refutes the theory of profit-maximizing under all circumstances made by economy theorists who claim that greedy humans would invariably take whatever they can get.

 

  • What is morality based on? These are the two factors that always come out:
    1. One is reciprocity, […] a sense of fairness,
    2. and the other one is empathy and compassion.

  • Some people may be destined to be sheep and others might be genetically primed to be wolves or sheepdogs. Most of
    the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by acci-
    dent. Then there are the wolves, and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy. […] The moment you forget that or
    pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial. Then there are sheepdogs. They live to protect
    the flock and confront the wolf.
    There is nothing morally superior about the sheepdog, the warrior, but he does have one real advantage. Only one.
    And that is that he is able to survive and thrive in an environment that destroys 98% of the population.

Emergence of the white animals

At their peak, the American bison, or buffalo, numbered about 80 million, and the chances of a white, nonalbino buffalo being born were about one in 10 million.

Today, there are only about 130,000 buffalo. Still, on August 20, 1994 a white buffalo calf was born on a farm in Janesville, Wisconsin. Native American Legend White Buffalo Calf Woman, presented by the website crystalinks.com, undated

 

The Native American prophecy on the white buffalo states:

When the white buffalo is born, the day of the Creator is at hand.

 

Since 1994 a host of other white animals has appeared. Noteworthy is that these white animals are not albinos.

Literatur

Dr. Grandins autistische bild- nicht sprachorientierten Denkstrukturen ermöglichten ihr, die Gefühls- und Gedankenwelt der Tiere in menschliche Sprache zu übersetzen. Tiere denken auch in Bildern, nicht in Worten. Grandin betrachtet Autismus als Zwischenstadium zwischen Tier und Mensch. Im Rahmen ihrer Hirnforschung stieß Grandin auf hochspezialisierte "autistische Savants", die geistig zurückgeblieben waren. Sie erklärt die Rudelmentalität, Gewalt unter Tieren (Konflikte unter Schimpansen), psychisch gestörte Hühner. Tiere kennen keine gemischten Gefühle.

Literature (engl.)

Humans can choose between predatory and nonpredatory behavior. In order to do so, we need to learn when each one is appropriate. Being nonpredatory is far more nuanced than just saying that nonpredatory equals prey. Kropotkin's profound thesis: Predator and prey are roles, not identities.
