There's a difference when violence results from instinct and/or having no other choice, and actively choosing violence. But this distinction is even more damning, as we see many smarter animals become capable of cruelty/spite/malice. Like that tiger who stalked and killed a man in revenge, or dolphins/orcas inventing elaborate methods of toying with their prey, or chimps being outright genocidal psychos.
