Only if you raise him to be a killer.
Correct.
I am scared to death of this belief that everything is “environment” or “nurture” as opposed to “nature/genetics”.
It is rampant in pet circles, most especially in pit-bull terrier defense. Any time an animal seems very cowardly, it is the owner’s fault for beating him. Whenever he is aggressive, it is the owner’s fault for conditioning him that way. The “nature” part is virtually dismissed out of hand. Cannot possibly be the animal’s fault on her own!
Thus, they say “jail the owners” whenever those PBTs attack. Yet often they themselves are the very owners, who shower (too much) love on these animals and are hardly fighting them or beating them or even daring to yell at them.
There are rumblings of this attitude I see more and more with parents and the child.
Long ago we were told you cannot be racist (e.g.) unless you are “carefully taught” - by those evil parents, of course.
No way. My parents are blameless for any bad attitudes I have. Those were “taught” inadvertently by losers I see over and over again of the same type displaying the same behavior. It’s my experience. So, not everything is by what those parents did.
Next they will blame the grandparents, and siblings, and cousins for all the bad behavior of a single person. That is the logic - and where does it end?
