Also simply because a Grimm is kind, that doesn't mean it has a soul. Cardin is a big jerk, but he does have a soul. Grimm in general seem to have the same level of intelligence, if not a little more, as the animals they represent. This could mean that Grimm can be trained, but once again it doesn't mean they have a soul. This reminds me of the argument re.: souled vampires in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe - a soul =/= good. Plenty of humans through history with their souls and a heart of pure evil. That's why I always took Pyrrha's comment of them having 'no souls' as being shorthand for 'they are a completely different thing from a life-form as you understand it.'
