Monsieur le Turtle in Switzerland sure thought so. We furry critters have been around long enough. He certainly doesn't care who knows it. He had no interests in the benefits of civilization, provided unthinkingly by his perfumed mistress, driving on roads over the graves of Romans who once turned that German forest into a town, taught them to give up cannibalism, and lie forgotten. And alas, that is his nature.
Animals like to destroy by and large.
That is their nature. The dove is a merciless killer. We, as far as is known, alone pause to limit destruction to the bear minimum. Not so the deer that eats the garden and attacks a stray toddler. Not so the little rose over the grave of some buried Caesar or Hercules.
