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 loved spiders, except for brown recluses. Not because they’re venomous, but because of the way they look, like those old tan M&Ms but with a slick sheen.
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
Lamprey, I am not really a sucker for them
I don’t dislike most animals. I love all of God’s creatures… sometimes with barbeque sauce. Except chihuahuas, screw those guys
In all seriousness though, aside from the bitey and parasitic insects I enjoy animals for what they are. The only reason I dislike chihuahuas is their behavior within the realm of a domesticated animal. However, just like a small child that will kick you in the shins, punch you in the nuts, and scream until they get what they want, I’ve found with chihuahuas that punting them into a wall just once usually solves the problem.
My wife on the other hand does not like larger birds. She thinks chickens, ducks, and geese “look weird” and “shouldn’t be able to stand up, shaped like that”. She does, however, like them with barbeque sauce.
The only reason I dislike chihuahuas is their behavior within the realm of a domesticated animal.
Don’t blame the animal, blame the owners who fail to properly train them and let most troubling behaviour slip because “Isn’t it cute? 😍”. Now imagen the same behaviour from a dog 7 times its size and 20 times the weight. In essence most Chihuahuas are spoiled brats with a enabling parents.
Yep, badly behaved children. To be clear, i wouldn’t punt a chihuahua… unless it was actively biting me. Just like a goose. Or a toddler
Ducks and dolphins are the serial rapists of the animal kingdom.
and beavers, those ones also rape young penguins
Ducks are also assholes for stopping traffic to cross the street. Fuckers can fly, but they decide to just waddle their dumbasses across busy streets.
Also koalas.
True. From “aww” to “nope” as soon as learning the truths about dolphins.
Humans. They’re just horrible for so many reasons
Humans, because they see themselves as superior to other animals.
This method of thinking is the root of much of humanity’s problems.

I wasn’t reinterpreting your comment, I was adding my own because I agree on humans as the animal of choice.
Like adding bullet points to a list. No critique intended.
Humans, they expose the many horrible traits of humans far better than any relative specie could.
Humans.
What a bunch of basterds
Monkeys and apes
That’s redundant. Apes are monkeys. There has been a shift in how life is classified, and for the same reason that birds are now considered to be dinosaurs, apes are now considered to be monkeys.
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
Birds in general give me the creeps.
the way they move sets off something in my brain stem that starts screaming DANGER
Fuckers should’ve gone extinct 65 million years ago with the rest of the dinosaurs. This is the age of mammals! The skies belong to the bats!
They don’t creep me out but I fucking hate birds. They’re so goddamn noisy. When I hear a bird near my window screaming, something primal in me activates and I wanna climb out on the ledge and throw rocks at it to make it shut the fuck up.
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.
Pointy drippy snooooot! 🖤
Squirrels. Cute as hell in the wild, not so much in my attic. They are tiny little destructive machines.
As a fellow Jay who has also had to deal with Squirrels in the attic, I wholeheartedly concur. Squirrels - what a bunch of bastards.
Their PR team is doing great work
According to the University of California’s Agriculture and Natural Resources department:
“Ground squirrels are associated with the spread of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rat bite fever, tularemia, Chagas’ disease, adiospiromycosis, and encephalomyocarditis. Notably, they can serve as reservoirs for sylvatic (bubonic) plague, a highly infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis…People and their pets can get plague if they visit or live in areas where ground squirrels or other rodents are infected.”
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.
Pandas would have survived if their habitat continued to be stable. Human encroachment destabilized their habitat.
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.
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.
Geese.
Just get the fuck out of here. PLEASE come at me so i can side swipe kick your stupid head.
Mice. Often times they’re branded as rodents and for a reason, because they tend to carry disease on them and aren’t around your home just to be cute either.
Pet mice are supposed to be clean, but I am still nervous with them. Especially those with red eyes.
The still poop and pee constantly but its clean I guess?
Often times they’re branded as rodents
But… I mean… they are?
Uh… what?
They’re not rodents because they carry diseases. They’re rodents because they’re from the order “Rodentia”.
If Opossum really sound like they do in RDR2, and they do seem to, I hate them.
