Dogs most certainly are violent by nature. You are explicitly talking about DOMESTICATED dogs which are man made and not nature

You can also upset a dog without putting it in a corner. Approach a dog and it’s pup or a dog approaching another dog that is eating, violence easily can erupt both with strange dogs and known ones.

You’re projecting your perception of your own humanity onto all dogs and it’s not working for you or your point.

I do agree that the people are purposefully pitted against each other but that is internal to nations and doesn’t explain international war. Do you think Ukraine and the Russians pitted their peoples against each other to start this war? Or did Russian invade and cause it all by themselves?

so... just to clarify. you realize that violence is part of who we've always been? The reason our hands can make a decent fist at all is to be used as clubs.

weapons are among the first, if not the first, forms of technology ever developed in prehistory. And probably not even by homo sapiens. We've never been not-violent. and you can see this in other primates like baboons and chimps and gorillas, which absolutely conduct their version of warfare.

And like humans, dogs are also aggressive by nature. they are largely taught not to be as puppies. but left to their own understandings, they will be aggressive.

Humans are absolutely naturally violent. They're naturally selfish, violent monsters. We teach our kids to not be that way from a very young age (prior to 1 years old, generally) and reinforce it constantly and yet it is still very common to see children/young adults acting out violently.

It's absurd to me that anyone could assume humans are not naturally violent.

yeah, so anyone whose ever watched a couple toddlers playing together knows they have to be taught to share. When they're learning, they're absolutely violent little monsters. if you google all the advice given for how to deal with aggressive toddlers in day care... you'll see that your little angels... really aren't.
