I think to sin is to err, and animals do that all the time. Moreover there are plenty who do think/deliberate, and of them some exhibit behavior that we'd call sociopathic in humans (think, dolphins using fish as fleshlights), whilst others exhibit behavior we'd call altruistic in humans (think, a rat freeing a completely unknown and unrelated rat from a trap). I don't think we can determine whether or not they are truly deliberating in that moment - we can't even do that with people, we just take their word for it - but we can infer that they do if they have the capacity for it.

tl;dr if dolphin jesus exists, then flipper is probably going to hell
