Non-human animals don't suffer from ego and fears ... they are not
"intelligent/stupid" enough to identify with their bodies and roles and
their inner retarded monologue (intellect ought to be a tool we utilize
... it is not supposed to dictate our existence) ... they just exist "in
the now" (what Jesus and Budda and a million contemporary authors tell
us to do) ... their real nature is not covered with layers of ego and
belief systems.
Our task is to develop from pre-egoic to post-egoic. A few 1000 years
ago we developed self-awareness but we also started identifying with our
bodies. We now need to transcend said identification so we become
self-aware but no longer identified with our temporary embodiment. The
core of all religions is just about that. Thousands of contemporary
books out there are telling you the very same thing ... you can
literally spend weeks listening to talks by Alan Watts for example.

Non-human animals demonstrate kinds of ethical behavior, which implies
that ethics is to no small extent an instinct.
