The situation they are in, the things they may have gone through... I think that would make any pokemon behave like this. I don't believe there is such a thing as a naturally cruel or bad pokemon. That sounds like it is simply humans projecting their own morality on what is in essence animal behaviour.
[See, he'll even step a bit closer, though he keeps some distance between him and the electrodes. He doesn't believe in pokemon that are cruel or bad by nature, but that doesn't mean there aren't some pokemon that can't do more damage than others when made that way by humans.]
But these electrodes... I imagine they were caught in the wild by Team Rocket. All they have known is human cruelty. I don't think we can expect them to trust us. That doesn't change the fact, however, that we do have to make certain they cannot hurt us while we free that pokemon inside of the cage. Putting them to sleep seems like the kindest solution.
