Please, read the text at

first to understand this post.
I did not express myself well. I did not mean to imply that the
rehab is harder for those with sluggish levels and abuse backgrounds,
as compared with those who have very low levels that arise in
aggression. I meant that there is more of a violence and rehab rate
challenge apparently in those with sluggish MAOA genes as opposed to
those with active ones, and that low levels sound like they can
produce violence all on their own.
Hopefully, this new understanding of a mechanism that produces
aggression is will lead to some future treatments not only for humans
but also for those animals who never should have been bred due to
aggressiveness in their lines, or those who have abusive pasts and
are not rehabing well. Meanwhile, we have only the options which
currently exist, but at least there is hope while research continues.
