The Baha'i Studies Listserv Hi, Have you look at BBC "Super Smart Animals"? Maybe 'Abdu'l-Bahá is talking in a general way.

Asunto: Animal nature The Baha'i Studies Listserv What I've seen of 'Abdul-Baha's comments on animal nature appears to agree with the common view that animals act according to nature and act selfishly. I have been seeing more and more evidence of animals often acting selflessly, like risking their life saving an owner from a fire. A recent article of relevance is here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/a-new-model-of-empathy-the-rat/2011/12/08/gIQAAx0jfO_story.html Does evidence like this oppose what 'Abdul-Baha is saying or have I misconstrued it?
