The point is, they can be tamed. They are too small to see humans as prey, so they would only attack if they saw the human as a predator. If you can let them get used to you, they will associate you with safety. In the case of tigers and crocodiles, humans are still considered potential prey due to size. Not so for these creatures. And btw, nothing with a complex nervous system can qualify as mindless. Full stop.
