Animals do. They don't judge. Humans may cringe from the cruelty when they see the picture of a venomous snake nailing its fangs into a poor little helpless frog (all adjectives are human-invented), but such cruelty is in fact kept at the lowest minimum in nature. Unlike humans, animal hunters kill only when they have to. And when they are sated - unlike humans, they sate easily - they leave their prey alone. So there's actually much more peace and harmony found in the natural world, the amoral world than in the human world.
In the human world, only babies are amoral. Babies, before they learn to argue and talk back, that is, are generally allowed to wet the bed if they feel like it. Babies are beyond moral reproach, although I have observed young mothers scolding babies for "becoming shitty again" catching parents unprepared.
Adults on the other hand are always straining themselves to do the moral thing, the good. They take great pains to refrain from doing the immoral, the bad. The results, however, are generally unsatisfactory. One crucial piece of evidence is that whenever people are happy, they tend to describe their good feelings by making comparisons with what's happening in the natural world.
Had you ever listened to the late Nina Simone singing Feeling Good, you'd know what I mean. Here is the lyric (in parts):
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
