No amimals do not have "axis"!Yet to free will,our lesser bretheren,for that is what they are,lesser only in the fact that they are as "yet" un-self-aware,they are aware and conscious,but not as yet self conscious,they are
goverened purely by instinct,and cannot deviate from that program.That is why in many of the older teachings of theeast,and indeed in the modern bible
animals are referred to as "without spot"in other words incapable of sin,as they are unable to venture of the instinctual path set out for them.Man however is very much different,and can choose to go against all promptings
of instinct,and can dis-obey the natural law of inclusion,however this action
is as we know dearly to our cost,not without penalty?


kind regards michael.
