It's hard to reply with an easy answer. The easy answer is, "Maybe".
A good friend of mine on another forum runs an imaginary, "Crabs are Evil Society". I also know many people who've had hermits without issues.
So what's the answer? Are they evil or not? The answer is, "Maybe". You have to watch their behavior.
Here's an example. My Chocolate Lab might lick you to death but that's the extent of her danger. Her best friend is a Pit-Bull and I go and pick her up for walks. Some people think all Pits are evil and some people think that all Labs are 100% safe. Neither belief is 100% true. You have to look at the individual and not the species. _________ Curt |
