Further clear evidence is the self-sacrifice and courage which such animals as cocks and hens with chicks display in performing their duties: even if hungry, the cock prefers the hens to itself, summoning them to feed. It does not peck up the food itself but allows them to do so. And it is clear that it feels pleasure, pride and enjoyment in carrying out this duty. This means it receives greater pleasure from carrying out the duty than from feeding.
