Here's a noodle for you then:

What do we do with the reports where they are violent? Like the ones where they broke the necks of chickens and ducks (for food??) killed dogs and other farm animals and of course the famous Ape Canyon and Albert Ostman claims he was kidnapped to be a mate. Don't forget all the reports of them eating deer liver. They have to kill one to do this. That = violence to me. I don't think deer just give livers away LOL. Also, where I grew up, the stories are about twins, a bad one and a good one.

Seems they are more like us than some people want to think. Are there any animals that are totally docile and don't exhibit some sort of violence to another species?

I'm guessing snails don't, although maybe they make some people throw up, and that is a violent reaction.

cone snails are venomous harpooners of their prey....

and i'm assuming you (or pjeeg) meant "violent" to other animal species.....

garden slugs seem pretty benign if you aren't a tasty tasty plant though.....

I do find those cone shells gorgeous, but I'd rather not pick one up unless I was very sure it was dead. We got told there were a pretty common source of injury for diver who pick them up and put them in their pockets. Shell gets narky, diver goes owwy.

And yes, I was referring to the garden variety of snails, the only damage they have ever cause me is when I slipped on one and sprained my ankle, although he got the worse deal out of the two of us.
