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.

Horses.

Its an easily startled 900lb retard with sledgehammers for hands.

No its not majestic, keep it the direct fuck away from me.

[-] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

I wish I could find the original quote, but Sam Vimes, in one of Terry Pratchett's books, says something to the effect of "being one of nature's pedestrians. Never trust anything that looks at you with its teeth"

[-] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

Horses are fucking douchebags. One ran me over back when I was 6 years old. I never forgave them.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Like the saying goes, if one horse ran you over, they all did.

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

I've always found horses to be weird animals. They have personality, but have no expression outside of losing their shit. Their posture also looks uncomfortable as fuck, always being stood up, and being on small hooves despite being huge.

I've always said that they're prisoners in their own bodies.

Humans. They’re just horrible for so many reasons

[-] stembolts@programming.dev 21 points 7 months ago

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

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

Monkeys are total assholes. They act just like 7 year old children would if they were high on sugar and there were no repercussions for their actions.

[-] fireweed@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

I don't understand why some people find monkeys cute. They're so ugly and obnoxious! They don't even have the presence or majesty of great apes either. The further from humans on the evolutionary scale, the cuter primates tend to be IMO. By the time you get to lemurs, bush babies, etc, you've hit standard mammal cuteness.

[-] blargerer@kbin.social 12 points 7 months ago

I'm convinced like 95% of people that say they like monkeys have never interacted with one.

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.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

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.

[-] supercriticalcheese@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Humans made them fucked up

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 10 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.

[-] Akareth@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

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

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.

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

Squirrels. Cute as hell in the wild, not so much in my attic. They are tiny little destructive machines.

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.

I’m not a huge fan of dogs in general. They’re capable of unsettling amounts of violence and you have no idea if/how they’ve been trained.

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.

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

  • 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.

I don't like dogs (except Huskies), because they often bark so sudden and loud. It seems they only have one volume setting for barking. I mean, they are cute and all, but one day they're gonna give me a heart attack.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 15 points 7 months ago

Huskies are the most vocal dog i have ever owned. They don't bark a lot, but they will start to scream and talk and bark at you when they want something.

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

[-] daddyjones@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Domestic cats. Partly because they poop in my garden, but mostly because they're secretly planning to take over the whole world and enslave the human race.

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