Agency is no more available to scientific explanation than science itself. These are a priori questions of *meaning*, ie conditions of the possibility of scientific questioning which must have its field of enquiry already delimited. 'Evil' is province of agency rather than fact.

I don't know, humans are arguably far more "evil" to dogs than wolves ever have been to humans.

We didn't breed evil out of dogs. Dogs/wolves are ultimately loyal to their pack. We tricked dogs into thinking we are the same pack. Dogs are still loyal and pure. Humans are still on occasion still evil to dogs. Breed evil out of humans to improve the lives of both.

We didn’t breed out the evil. We bred in more qualities we like instead. The evil will always be there.
