Your opinion is as good as mine, but it's a little darker than that:

1. Many of Shere Khan's kills was merely for pleasure/donination.

2. The part where people almost killed him? He brought that on himself. He basically hate Mowgly's father for protecting his son.

3. You can claim he didnt killed the wolves cubs in the cave scene, but it was out of intention to threaten the mother, not out of mercy.

4. Jungle book is a fable about the british reign in india. Mowgly is a young indian law prestige (very likely to be Mahatma Gandy), Bageera is a lawyer, the wolves are the security forces... And Shere Khan is an english officer who kill indian children both out of racism and out of desire to stay in power (the fire in this story represents education. English officers like Shere Khan was terrified from the option that someone like Gandy will be educated enough to challenge them). So yeah... You can say Shere Khan is more human-like than many people realize.

Also, as the showrunners of this wiki dont see things eye to eye with me on this topic, i've gone foward to other topics. Anyway, your opinion is always welcome.
