Humans are the most evil creatures on earth because unlike other species, we know what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad. Yet we often choose to to something bad or wrong.

We have the ability to know, to discern, to reason. Some deny it in favor of supporting personal gain. Some are false thinkers who sound intelligent but lack true intelligence to be able to truly discern right from wrong. We have great power to do great good or great evil. Thanks for the feedback.
Hmm. Well, I am pretty sure my cat knew it was wrong to shit in my shoes. I'm pretty sure that squinty look in his eye when I found it was cat laughter, too.
I reckon other animals do understand right and wrong. It is not mere anthopomorphism that assigns to dogs shame when we see them looking sheepish after chewing our slippers, or tearing up the garbage and spreading it across the yard. It is seeing in our friends of other species what we recognize is the same feeling we ourselves have experienced, when we have been caught doing something we knew was wrong.
