Answer 1

Short version: “animals don’t care or notice”.

Long version:

#1, humans are the most complicatedly constructed mammal.

#2, animals don’t need to reason on a human level. In many (most?) instances of human inbreeding, it’s the brain that suffers/flags first of all; which doesn’t apply to animals, who are bundles of impulses.

Animals don’t care if they can reason, or even graduate high school; it’s all about survival of the fittest.

If you’re an animal fit enough to (a), smell/notice danger; and (b), smart enough to know you need to run/kick away from it, your chance of surviving to repopulate is better.
