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.

Cats: I had one that peed through three different couches

I will be forever scarred by not one but two duck gang rapes I witnessed. The second one involved them raping another male duck to death, presumably because all the females were hiding as far away as they could. Absolute bastards.

Sloths and praying mantis' can fuck right off, they give me the creeps!

I'm definitely on the hate apes train, Chimpanzees in particular. They're not cute and are freakishly strong and I think it's insane some people keep them as pets.

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 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.

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.

Deer, fuck them. Dumb fucks, just ran out of the ditch for no reason and ran into my car. Couldn't stop in time and hit them. Like just fuck off the roads.

[-] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, because deer know what roads are

Canadian geese... the damn cobra chickens are ridiculously protective, strong, loud, and grumpy. In Michigan, you just can't avoid them. They're everywhere and in the thousands. I've been attacked, my dogs have been attacked, they poop everywhere, and their wings are strong enough to break bones. I do not like the cobra chicken.

[-] ridethisbike@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH CANADIAN GOOSES THEN YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME! I SUGGEST YOU LET THAT ONE MARINATE!

[-] Shelbyeileen@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

They attacked my dogs, and you're a random person on the internet. I think you can guess which side this girl is on... her puppies 😅 Can I also bring up how the aggression and all caps response really feels like an angry goose that learned to type.

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

[-] Dame@piefed.social 5 points 2 years ago

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.

I dislike any animal large enough to one hit me by accident.

Outside of that hairless cats look like living ball sacks.

Grackles. Ornery poop machines with annoying calls.

If Opossum really sound like they do in RDR2, and they do seem to, I hate them.
