But they're acting like normal animals now. The past was never known, and whatever knowledge Pyrrha learned has an obvious doctrine/textbook feeling to it. The fact that the current Grimm are just acting like normal animals could not be denied.

Even when the scorpion attacked Ruby, it was because she was charging towards it first, and even after that it has an obvious look of confusion until Ruby solidified the hostility by letting loose a bullet to the face.

'Soulless' does not equal wanting destruction. In fact, it is precisely because they are soulless that they should not harbor such strong feelings in the first place. An empty shell feels nothing, so why would they 'want' to slaughter humans for no apparent reason?

When there's a will, there's likely also a soul behind it. The Grimm are just tools, in my opinion. Whatever they once was was long gone, and they only have the basest of instincts to follow by. Since they are soulless, it is not hard to think that there are methods to control The Grimm as tools of war and destruction. They can never disobey because they are soulless, lacking, and empty to begin with.
