They're chasing their prey only difference is Shere Khan talks. And the Ringmaster is no different than King Louie from the original Jungle Book as his status as a villain is debatable.

in Cujo's case it isn't that he's so much that he's an animal, it's the fact he has a specific form of rabies and thus has no control over his actions at all and suffers far more than his victims.. even if he were human he'd be debatable.. like I said calling Cujo "evil" is like saying someone with bubonic plague or similar is "evil".. dangerous? definitely.. but "evil"? no..

Shere Khan is cunning and sapient, for a start - look up sapience versus non-sapience.. without sapience moral agency is non-existent and calling something with no moral agency "evil" is projecting human traits were they do not exist, just like seeing faces in fire or rocks.
