Ha. Either way, it's not philosophical to us, but for an animal's brain capacity, trying to string cause and effect together could be a very taxing ordeal, hence why pavlovian training works, because the survival instincts kick in over top of their ability to reason and connect two events.

Humans asking why to things like life, the universe, and everything is because we can't see how they are connected to each other, perhaps because we are incapable.
