We do not know and probably never will know anything about other animal's
concepts of fairness or justice, or lack thereof. This is prejudice, and
has nothing to do in a scientific forum. We do not have the ability to
communicate with other species to hear their views on fairness and justice
(or lack thereof), nor do we have instruments to tell us what they may be
thinking (or _whether_ they are thinking).
I strongly suspect that people who profess views as those expressed by
Jonathan Haskett and others time and time again, have had an overexposure
to Judeo-Christianity in their formative years or else have not endeavored
to think critically about the dogma popularly accepted in human societies
(and our ability to test it).

Sincerely;
