Sorry about that, nipped out for a life. Back now.

Yes, I am saying a greyhound would have a moral code without human intervention. Pack animals, primates, insects... all sacrifice themselves to the common good of the community one way or another. if that aint a moral code then show me something that is.

Of course, some would say that our moral code is what separates us from other animals. They also try to distinguish between instinct and moral code. Two ways to describe the same thing. We are descended from all sorts of creatures of the past. When we were a form of star fish, did we have a moral code that was distinguishable from today's starfish?

Doubt it.

Moral code? Just a way our genes control us in order to reproduce most effectively.
