The process of natural selection (which mating habits and such are part of) isn't disputed to my knowledge.
Animals do not have "morals", thus they are amoral.
For example, my cat kills things mice and doesn't eat them. Cat society doesn't have any mores that would deem this behavior good or bad, it is just nature. Humans can project their own moral judgments onto animal behavior i.e. "killer sharks are bad", "monogamous swans are romantic" but they aren't animal morals.
The animal kingdom is replete with many reproductive strategies. Some animals use more than one.

Humans kill, but don't eat what they kill as well.....
My dog never had an interest in killing any living thing.....yes...it's true....she's 9 1/2 now, and she never wanted to kill a living thing.....
I don't believe you are any more or less moral than other species....I'm sorry.....
