Check out the story of Christian the lion, who was raised by two guys. They released him into the wild, where he survived and adapted successfully and even had a family. They visited him a year and 2 years later, and he recognized them and even introduced his family to them. He was loyal. Lions were never domesticated, btw.
Kinda cool that you chose this as an example, maybe it will make my point easier to understand. I spent first 8 years of my life in Mexico City and we had lots of wildlife as pets. Falcons, owls, wide variety of parrots and the 2 biggest pets were a pair of lions and a female jaguar. I dont know how old the female lion was but I always remember her being full grown. Only my Dad could handle her and she was never aggressive towards him. I was never allowed close to her. When i was 6 or 7, Pops brought home a lion cub and the female jaguar cub. They were raised together, living inside the house and interacting with my family. By 6 months, we had to give the jaguar back because she was "wild". The lion stayed with us till we had to move back to the states. He was definitely cool towards us and we could even play around, but not the level of a dog. Pops saw him years later and he recognized him. Lions are social animal, jaguars are not which i think explains why the lion was easier to get along with. Plus, lions have been bred in captivity for at least 2,500 years. Some even carry genes of extinct subspecies.
Nope, my assessment was that owners choose the "look" first, and, then, condition them to match their (owners') behavior.
A little dog can be trained to be ultra-aggressive too.
That's an irresponsible owner, you have to research a breed of dog to match your own behavior. Plenty of dogs end up abandoned because the owners cant handle the dog they chose. It's not the dogs fault that they NATURALLY behave a certain way.
It's much easier to get a dog with the traits you want than to teach a dog.
No, they don't. In a good home they'd be taught that bullying another kid is not good. Dude, come on.
LoL, Dude, you come on. Bad kids come out of good homes and vice versa, you can't disagree with that.

When we were conceived, there must have countless other versions that could have been. Different gender, physical attributes, mental capacity, morality, every other behavior or feeling that is. So simply put, its predetermined to have a tendency to be good or bad.
Dude, you're nuts. You know, I'm a self-admitted CT-er and a Truther, a proud one, but you're even crazier than I am :shock: :lol: :shock: :lol: :shock:
Genes determining good or bad? Dude, that's out there. Like OUT THERE!!! Completely.
I dont think it's crazy, it's just how I feel about that. If you are religious or believe in some higher power the Yes, I would say its fucking crazy thinking lol.
Can you give me an explanation why it's "out here"? I'm curious.
