Yes they can.
But even if not that does not verify the existence of evil in any meaningful sense.
People say it's "unfortuneate", but there is not force in the universe; FORTUNE either.
Good, evil, and Fortuna are just ancient mythical ideas.
Good and evil are ideas that explain the quality of a situation, action, etc. They are not things.
Yes they are not things
BUT. Good and evil are DESCRIPTIVE. they explain nothing.
Evil appears as action that intends to harm, for the sole purpose of harming. Action is doing. Harm is caused by the action done by evil. People who do evil actions that are done only to harm, are called evil.
Other descriptions of evil, wrong and right, can likely be found, but that doesn't negate this description of evil.
If you want a tidy, one word explanation for all that, without any qualifiers, then you already have it. Evil.
So you can rest easy. That explains it.
Wolves that instinctively slaughter 40 sheep, then leave them to rot, are probably doing that to establish dominance in territory, rather than harm for the sake of harming, harming which we now know to call evil after all these years on the earf, even though there are other causes of harm.

Humans are not wolves, obviously.
- Old ladies punched out by strong, unprovoked, young men?
- Unlike wolves, sure sounds like evil done for the purpose of doing evil.
- If those men want to act like wolves ... then release them into the wild with the wolves, and with just the clothes on their two backs.
- See if they can punch out a wolf to establish their animal dominance.
- Do any reasons the thugs might offer for doing this, even matter? Nay, I say.
