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.

Pandas. They are too dumb to be alive. Their diet mostly consists of plants that have hardly any nutrition, and can't be bothered to reproduce.

This is a common belief thanks to terrible science comunication by journalists. I recommend the book The Truth About Animals: Stoned Sloths, Lovelorn Hippos, and Other Tales from the Wild Side of Wildlife by Lucy Cooke. It's a fascinating read and has a chapter dedicated to how we've misunderstood and misrepresented pandas and sloths in the media.
