What could indicate an animal is at risk of becoming aggressive?

A calm demeanor
Consistent training
Tolerating inappropriate behavior
Social interaction with other animals

The correct answer is: Tolerating inappropriate behavior

The presence of inappropriate behavior that an animal tolerates can be a significant indicator of potential aggression. When an animal consistently allows or does not react negatively to behavior that is typically undesirable, it might be showing signs of stress or discomfort. This can lead to a buildup of frustration or anxiety, which may ultimately result in aggressive reactions. In such scenarios, the animal may feel cornered or threatened by the inappropriate behavior, leading to a fight-or-flight response. Being tolerant of behaviors that discomfort them is not always a sign of calmness; rather, it can be a precursor to aggression if they feel pushed beyond their limits. Recognizing these signs is crucial for animal control officers to preemptively address the risk of aggressive behavior in animals.
