[QUOTE="Martin Oosthuysen, post: 40813, member: 1070"] Aggression is overt, often harmful, social interaction with the intention of inflicting damage or other unpleasantness upon another individual. It is a virtually universal behavior among animals. It may occur either in retaliation or without provocation. In humans, frustration due to blocked goals can cause aggression. aggression is a response by an individual that delivers something unpleasant to another person. Some definitions include that the individual must intend to harm another person Aggression can take a variety of forms which may be expressed physically or communicated verbally or non-verbally: including anti-predator aggression, defensive aggression (fear-induced), predatory aggression, dominance aggression, inter-male aggression, resident-intruder aggression, maternal aggression, species-specific aggression, sex-related aggression, territorial aggression, isolation-induced aggression, irritable aggression, and brain-stimulation-induced aggression (hypothalamus). I think looking at the description of aggressive it does apply,I can highlight a lot of points there and use them applicable to situations. One may try and explain or rewrite a certain situation,but one had to apply the correct terminology. The tarantula might act defensive,but if that should turn into an attack will become defensive aggressive. Now chasing a intruder,will then be intruder aggression see it change ? As soon as the aggressor leaves the habitat,and that attack continues what is now defended ? If that specimen leaves its home/hide/enclosure,it isn't defending any area belonging to it ? Now it is just what ? Pure aggression, we need to apply correct explanations and not apply what will be more acceptable for society or the hobby. Since sugarcoating it,is like saying oh get a Lampropelma they aren't aggressive just defensive. We might as well tell beginners to get an OBT ? Since,if they don't go into the tarantulas house/home/personal space nothing should happen ? I stand by the above,and will gladly point out the terminology that correctly applies. HIGHLIGHTS - including anti-predator aggression(human being seen as the predator like stated not by me) - resident-intruder aggression(entering the enclosure) - defensive aggression (fear-induced) - It may occur either in retaliation or without provocation [/QUOTE]
