Everything has a 'back side' - IIRC even ants produce some acid that
could be very harmful when used in large quantity.
All whales are can be very dangerous, because of their huge size.
Dolphins wreck fishermans' nets. If you get a bee sting behind your
ear, it is possible that you get severe brain damage or even die.
There are a lot of people alergic of milk (hint: cows).
But that is not the way to think about logos/mascots. People
generally like BSD devil - and it is a *devil*.
