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.

    • leeches. i watched some movie as a kid and leeches dangling over the heroes after they crossed some water scared me good.

    • those beach jelly fishes. nope. i get why they are there and i’d prefer to give them their space.

    • anything with those scaly shiny black and yellow hornet danger colors.

      Beaches jellyfishes remind me of Lurker zurg units in StarCraft. My understanding is that jellyfishes tentacles will still shoot their barbs long after the main part has died.

        I’ve read something similar too. It’s like a motor reaction to them when they are threatened.

        The important part is to “melt” the barb, they say, and that’s were the pissing tale starts.

      If I were to harbor a guess, that movie you watched was Stand By Me. The leech scene as a kid freaked me out too.

        That might be it~ I checked it out on yt and for sure, that scene is very familiar.

        The movie definitely knew what they were doing, using the fat leeches and all that.

    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.

      Uh… what?

      They’re not rodents because they carry diseases. They’re rodents because they’re from the order “Rodentia”.

    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

    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.

      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

    Dogs with blue eyes look absolutely psychotic to me for some reason, like it’s indicative that they’re the serial killers of the canine world or something. It’s super unnerving. This doesn’t translate to any other animal for me; for instance I think blue-eyed cats are gorgeous.

      Humans, because they see themselves as superior to other animals.

      This method of thinking is the root of much of humanity’s problems.

      Humans, they expose the many horrible traits of humans far better than any relative specie could.

    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.

      I hate them so much I wrote a song about them and how they’ll bite the head off a fish so they can fuck the corpse. They’re messed up.

        I knew they do something similar to each other (without biting each others’ heads off obviously) but don’t recall ever learning they do that with fish. Just wow. At least humans are a bit self-reflective about their activities at this point in time, dolphins are starting to sound like savages who could use a takeover.

      True. From “aww” to “nope” as soon as learning the truths about dolphins.

      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.
