Innocence

My reply to a question by Vikash Srivastav, "Sir, do features like ' innocence ' exist in the animal kingdom. Is it just a man-made fiction or a function of nature. "

The core of all life material is what we have named DNA. In its evolution from simple unicellular phylum protozoa to the most complex phylum chordata, that includes human beings as homo sapiens species, all species are fundamentally innocent of any and everything except survival and continuation of the species, automatically, and not by premeditated, devious or malicious intent. When they alter their shape, size, structure or colour, or existential norms and forms, they are the result of DNA's fundamental principle, again, of the survival of the fittest.

All cells are, therefore, automatically innocent. But human DNA being an accidental aberration, can at will negate, alter this cellular structure from humility to viciousness through the route of premeditation.

I can write a lot more on this subject, but would limit myself to addressing the simplicity of your question, the answer to which is, from the human point of view, that there is nothing but only innocence in all forms of cellular structures, which are the building blocks of all lives, and therefore all, ALL life, barring humans, in the animal and plant kingdom solely dependent on the principle of survival through the conduct of their existence towards this goal without thought or execution, is only innocent.

Conclusion:  Innocence is an abstract concept which can only be conceived by a self-aware mind capable of abstract thought. Only humans in our world have such minds, and therefore 'innocence' is a human-created concept, not a natural function. Their ability to conceive innocence is what makes them not innocent.
