I doubt animals could ever enter into agreements. For an agreement to work, both parties must understand that an agreement has been made; that is, a trade, where one party agrees to act or not act in a certain way in exchange for the other party agreeing to act or not act in a certain way (I won't hit you if you don't hit me). I don't see how animals could do this, with their lack of intellectual capacity.
