(84,711 posts)For the main part...I stand by my OP and others who have owned ones who weren't handled or trained to be vicious because of bad behavior reinforcement or maltreatment.
I've even know my beloved cats to have a vicious one or two...from either Feral, Maltreatment or they were just born with a "different personality." But, it's not the norm and many can be brought around with love and kindness. A few can't. But...as I said...it's like with us humans also. Some just can't or aren't able to respond to kindness and reinforcement of sociable behavior. Rogues are always amongst us. But, when we start tarring people and animals of whatever breed or affiliation or ethnicity or cross-breading as bad/evil and worthy of extermination...because ofbad/evil behavior of the few...we go down a slippery slope.
