Maybe if I spell it out for you and use really small words you'll get it.  Animals and humans care for and nurture their young.  Is this moral?  YES.  Animals form communities in the wild to protect one another, mate and forage for food and share with said community.  Is this moral?  YES.  Do humans do the same thing?  YES.  Your statement about courts, lawyer etc are strictly human ideas in ways of dealing with unlawful people and therefore irrelevant if your talking about species other than humans.  They didn't get their morality from God since God is man-made.  Morality is programmed in every species.  And no one had to programmed it.  Our species has been on this planet for a minimum of 100,000 yrs. If there is a God floating around out there he waited 96,000 yrs to reveal himself, watching with completely indifference while our ancestors suffered with tribal warfare, decease, probably with lifespans of maybe 25-30 yrs., high infant mortality, volcanoes, earthquakes etc.  Then 6,000 yrs. ago he says... "Okay, I have to intervene now".  And what better place to do it would be in an obscure part of the Middle East.  That is why God is man made.  To say that we were incapable of being moral until God finally showed up is ridiculous.
