Idiopathic (unmotivated) aggressiveness in animals

The purpose of the study is to study and define unmotivated (idiopathic) aggression of animals (dogs) as behavior when there is a motive, but it was not seen or understood. Among the variety of behavioral forms in animals, in dogs in particular, a special place is occupied by behaviors that are expressed in the form of aggression. Establishing the place of unmotivated (idiopathic) aggression of animals (dogs) in this series, as behavior, is important when developing certain legislative acts that determine a certain attitude towards animals in general, especially aggressive in their behavior towards humans. When solving issues regarding humane and responsible attitude towards animals, in relation to the concept of “unmotivated aggression of animals” it is necessary to understand what animal behavior is, forms of their behavior, whether unmotivated aggression of animals is a particular form of behavior. In general, unmotivated aggression in an animal (dog) should be understood as its defensive behavior, expressed in going beyond the stereotypical behavior typical of an animal of a given species and manifested in the form of aggression towards a person and (or) an animal, not caused by any external cause (factor).
