It literally is a statement of fact, because it's directly causal logic. You don't pick up animals which are literally capable of killing/maiming you, unless you think you know better and are fully capable of, in your words, you "knowing in advance" or "being aware of" when they're going to attack. The only assumption I am making is that people don't want to be maimed or killed, which I think is reasonable.

The whole risk and point of undomesticated animals is that you literally cannot know when they will strike. There are countless examples of people having raised all sorts of wild animals for many years with no incident, and then one day the animal simply kills them, or somebody else, for no reason.
