I suppose they could be crazy I was watching the dog whisperer on TV and the case was that the dog had ADHD and was to excitable and would hurt their children they put him on pills but even so If your crazy you still have no control over your actions and so it wouldn't be intentional. Side: no

Not only do i think animals can't be evil, I think the term evil is subjective. First, animals don't have thoughts like we do. Evil, if it exists, lies in the thoughts to cause pointless destruction or beat out opponents, not for personal gain, but just to see the opponents fail. Animals are only out for personal preference, including the preference of their species over other species, and their specific relations over other in the same species. Second, evil is a term we apply to things opposite our own intentions. Christians say Satan is evil, because he corrupts humans souls so that they can be tortured in hell or whatever. Where as Satanist say Satan saved us from being cast out by the truly evil, God and his followers. Side: no
I don't think so. I understand evil as acting to intentionally harm another being where the main purpose is causing harm. Animals can be dangerous such as when they are hunting, sick, or protecting their offspring, but I don't think they ever intend harm so I don't think of them as evil. Side: no
