* Although highly improbably, some human societies are capable of achieving this kind of no-kill (or at least, "no exploit") society. The Trobriand Islanders, for example, had an economic system that prevented individuals from amassing too much money (or in this case, yams, which was their source of currency) for their own benefit by stressing the importance of giving to others as a sign of wealth, as well as the Kula exchange, which involved the trading of non-use valuables as a method of gaining prestige and social status among many partnerships with the added development of strong obligations of hospitality, protection and assistance.

* {{Fallout}}: Although the Death Claws, America's genetically-engineered leftovers from the all-destructive {{Great War}}, are extremely aggressive creatures little better than animals that attack humans on sight, it's implied (from the modified talking Death Claws in the second series) that their basic pack-based society has a rigidly hierarchical, peaceful, ethical pack-based basic society. They were extremely loyal to the pack as a whole, treating it as a family unit rather than having individual families. Fights within a pack are unheard of, and the pack's leader controls many aspects of life, such as choosing and matching female and male deathclaws for reproduction.
