A great human called Ian Dunbar said that punishing a growl is like removing the tick from a time bomb.

Growls are our way to communicate. Humans don’t get punished for saying “stop that” when someone upsets them.

I was just talking about this the other day. Punishment for expressing discomfort just creates animals who will bite, maim, or otherwise escalate with absolutely no warning.
