For me:

  • Monkeys and apes: they look too much like humans and expose many terrible traits of humans.

  • Greyhounds: their thin long body shape look weird to me.

Geese.

Just get the fuck out of here. PLEASE come at me so i can side swipe kick your stupid head.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

All bugs. I hate them so much, I don't care if their eradication means the collapse of biological ecosystems. It's probably an undiagnosed phobia.

Lampreys. I know they're probably not sitting under the sand, just waiting for me so they can feast on my feet... but it still gives me pause every time I go to the beach

Pointy drippy snooooot! 🖤

Please tell me that this is your dog right after you told them that some person on the Internet said they look weird...

I love him.

In the broader sense, humans are in the Simians group too.

While both monkeys and apes are primates in the suborder Haplorhini and infraorder Simiiformes, they split into two different parvorders:

Catarrhini contains apes (hominoids) and Old World monkeys (cercopithecoids). Platyrrhini contains New World monkeys

Sloths. They have evil smiles and knife fingers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Pandas. They're stupid stupid animals that wouldn't exist if it weren't for the millions spent on them that would go better spent on animals that want to live.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Pandas would have survived if their habitat continued to be stable. Human encroachment destabilized their habitat.

Canadian geese... the damn cobra chickens are ridiculously protective, strong, loud, and grumpy. In Michigan, you just can't avoid them. They're everywhere and in the thousands. I've been attacked, my dogs have been attacked, they poop everywhere, and their wings are strong enough to break bones. I do not like the cobra chicken.

IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH CANADIAN GOOSES THEN YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME! I SUGGEST YOU LET THAT ONE MARINATE!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They attacked my dogs, and you're a random person on the internet. I think you can guess which side this girl is on... her puppies 😅 Can I also bring up how the aggression and all caps response really feels like an angry goose that learned to type.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's a reference to Letterkenny. Canada gooses are assholes, but there's a special place in heaven for animal lovers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Ah, I have not seen the reference before

If Opossum really sound like they do in RDR2, and they do seem to, I hate them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I dislike any animal large enough to one hit me by accident.

Outside of that hairless cats look like living ball sacks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

They feel like ball sacks too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Deer, fuck them. Dumb fucks, just ran out of the ditch for no reason and ran into my car. Couldn't stop in time and hit them. Like just fuck off the roads.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, because deer know what roads are

Hey, it's a free country

Wombats: their turds are cube shaped and it's against the laws of nature.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm scared of horses because their mouth is in their nose and I find it creepy with their huge teeth.💀

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you for this perspective

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I find most new BMWs look like a horse that's just snorted a line of dried piss

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I will be forever scarred by not one but two duck gang rapes I witnessed. The second one involved them raping another male duck to death, presumably because all the females were hiding as far away as they could. Absolute bastards.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I'm definitely on the hate apes train, Chimpanzees in particular. They're not cute and are freakishly strong and I think it's insane some people keep them as pets.
