Love Robin, not all antagonists are villains, this is exactly what I said. If a character antagonizes the protagonists but has good intents, is brainwashed or is only a nuisance, unless if it's a comedy, I will not consider him as a villain. But if a character is a threat to the heroes and wants to kill them, is not brainwashed and acts willingly, has no good intents and only acts for his own interest, then yes, I will definitely consider him as a villain.

In my opinion, the intention is more important than the motivation. If someone wants to kill the heroes or innocent people, whatever his motivation for doing it, that made him a villain. For instance, Ozymandias killed millions of people even though he only wanted to prevent a nuclear war and didn't consider himself as evil, but whatever his reasons, his actions made him a villain.

Killing is bad. Killing for food is understandable, but it's still bad. At the very least, killing villains or minor characters is not a big deal, but killing heroes is clearly bad, or at least it's portrayed as bad in-universe. Every story has their heroes, and if someone is a threat to them or wants to kill them, he becomes automatically a villain, regardless of his reasons. For example, Sid is just a kid who likes breaking his toys, in most stories he won't be a villain, but in a story where the heroes are toys, he clearly becomes a villain. For the same reason, in a story where the heroes are preys of a predator, the predator becomes a villain. On the other hand, in a story where the heroes are predators, they will not necessarily be villains if what they do isn't portrayed as bad from their point of view. Everything depends of the point of view of the heroes, from the point of view of the predators it's just meals, but from the point of view of the preys it's murders.

By the way, Sharpteeth are sentient, it has been shown in the fifth movie. And if Sharptooth count because he is in a world of anthropomorphic animals, then the Barracuda and the Anglerfish from Finding Nemo should count as well, especially since in this world the predators are able to talk and even to choose to not eat fishes.

Jaws didn't act like a real-life animal, I totally agree. But every stories are made by humans (obviously), therefore no animals can be portrayed perfectly like in reality (anyway, most of the time they are portrayed as aggressive killing machines). And Jaws is still an animal whose goal is to eat, exactly like any other fictional predator (let's say... Rexy, for example), so it will be more fair to accept all of them. In addition, arguments can be made about Jaws's status as a villain. Or Indominus rex (as seen with Love Robin). Or Rexy. Or any other fictional predator. Any of them could be argued, so the simplest solution would be to accept all of them.

Finally, even if animals are not truly evil, why don't accept them anyway ? After all, there are plenty of character in this wiki who are not truly evil either but are still considered as villains. Animals just follow their instincts ? Terminators just follow their programing (and the result is the same, they want to kill the heroes). Not to mention the many Cosmic Beings who are neutral. And I know it's not a very good argument, but Heroes Wikia includes characters who are not truly good (such as animals, and even some Complete Monsters). If I ask to random people, most of them would say that the T-Rex is the villain of Jurassic Park. Rexy is in the Heroes Wikia, but not in the Villains Wikia. Admit it, this is rather illogical.
