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.

I agree with the mobkeys and apes. So many of them are evil jerks.

Cats: I had one that peed through three different couches

I am scared of and hate most birds but ones with long necks REALLY freak me out. Geese, swans, flamingoes, fuck those creepy stretch-neck horror movie monsters.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, love a kiwi bird. Lil dudes just be fuzzy, run around, and eat bugs. Rock on kiwi birds

I think it's weird to dislike animals. Unless you've been terrorised by one I guess (dogs, geese etc)

I hate how modern pugs look. I would love to launch them into orbit with my foot but I try to treat them like any other dog. It's not their fault they momma made them fugly.

E: Ye, we all know it was people.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

I feel sorry for those dogs, and other dogs that have constant physica problems because breeders and customers put looks ahead of health for many dog generations.

Humans made them fucked up

Grackles. Ornery poop machines with annoying calls.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Crackled are fun.

Skunks. I have an irrational fear of them. I don’t understand their purpose, they’re ugly and smell disgusting. Shocking that there is in fact an animal that smells worse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Mine is skunks but for a completely different reason. I just hate how cocky they are. Like they smell bad and know they can spray anything so they almost never run. They even don't care about cars bc they think they can just lift their tail and scare it away.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I love animals in general but I don't want to look at opposums. Those wormy tails are terrible.

I know they are very useful though!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Moths, especially the big ones... idk, they are just insanely terrifying to me. I know they cannot hurt me, I know they are harmless, they terrify the life out of me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The biggest one I have seen was as big as my entire hand. I thought it was a bird at first.

Dolphins. Everyone wants to talk about sharks taking an annual toll on people, nobody wants to acknowledge dolphins will screw more with humans just for the lulz.

Sorry, but how can you body shape shame my beautiful lady?!

These teefs cannot be contained.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Spiders for the simple fact that I have been "conditioned" by my mothers behaviour to fear them, cause she freaked out at the sight of even the tiniest one.

They are incredibly fascinating creatures.

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

Used to hate them. . Now will do anything to save one.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

FYI, the reason why humans look so much like apes is because humans ARE apes (specifically, great apes).
