Human moral it's till dubious, given our history record.
I wouldn't be so sure we are the only animals with some morals. Douphins, whales, and sometimes even pet dogs have more moral than many humans.
Agree with reducing meat consumption. I even mentioned it in some thread after watching a documentary that presented 3 reasons to reduce meat consumption, with at least 1 of those reasons being valuable to most people.

1. Health reasons
2. Humane reasons
3. Environmental reasons

I'm willing to reduce meat consumption, though I haven't done so yet. I average 2 meals per day, and I pretty much eat meat with all of them. When I'm short on time, lunch (my first meal) will just be ramen noodles. We had very good fish tacos last night. Most of our meals incorporate ground beef... I'd like to get good at ravioli and fettuccine dishes. The holy grail for me would be to make good pad Thai, but the 2 times I've tried they were only 75% as good as a restaurant. Of course, I want chicken pad Thai.

Regarding animals, they have behavior, not morality. Their actions occur automatically, with no ability to consider why an action might be good or bad.
