Unless you are in Australia. Funnelwebs and jackjumper ants are notoriously pissy and attack because you are near them and move. They see everything as a threat.
Wolverines and honey badgers also have reputations as being unnecessarily aggressive, being oddly sociopathic for animals rather than simply aggressive hunters
I suppose one could say that they just have a different definition of a threat, but a line has to be drawn somewhere, and Mustelids (weasels, otters, wolverines, badgers, skunks) are brilliant animals, outclassing dogs and rodents on the intelligence scale.
Its like an entire classification of late 80s postal workers.
