What popular animals don’t you like?
 

Do you have any animals you have a hard time not getting creeped out/irritated by despite the fact that they’re generally well-liked/seen as cute (so obviously not pythons, Tom-cats or rats)?

Dogs for me because they do kinda boldly represent the most-annoying things about super-extraverted humans (noisy, overly-quick to form associations and hyper.). Brian Griffin’s an obvious exception (lol) and in a more general sense I’m not saying dogs are a bad type of animal at all (I definitely don’t hate them) but I just know they’re not for me.

And it looks like I’m not alone: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/sor...dont-like-dogs | https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/...t-accept-53487 | https://youtu.be/msCcO-nQfg8

Sloths. Awful, creepy creatures

Popular as in pets, or just popular animals in general?

Could be either or both, I suppose. That’s your own interpretive call.

Killer Whales then probably. How they stalk and kill their prey is impressive, but it's so sadistic the way they toy with, and torture some Seals.

Hate Swans.....I'm not a fan of any bird really. The flappiness of them creeps me out. Penguins are the exception but as they are flightless they are ok by me :laugh:

i'm not a big fan of lions, tigers, wolves or ostriches

I love all animals but insects.

Geese.
I wouldn't harm them ever but they are really relentless and aggressive.

As a teen I once saw a sign saying beware of the goose.
I thought it was funny and so still cut across the area.

That Goose charged after me and had me running like crazy to get away from it.
It was extremely aggressive.

Some people still have geese on their premises as feathered guard dogs !!




;;;; Geese have been used as guard animals since ancient Greece. They are the most territorially protective, vicious, foul tempered creatures in existence. Guard dogs can be distracted, not geese.

I was really scared Zizu.
It charged at me then chased me all the way until I got out.

I have given them a wide berth ever since :joker:

You're a monster.

geese are great i think. Full of character. They are prepared to take on anything too if it invades its territory :laugh:

Like Ukrainians

Emu’s….spiteful.

Cats !

They're selfish ,and they can be vicious with their claws ,and they're more or less useless & lazy.

You'll be there dying or distraught , and a cat will just walk away and "meow" at you .... or fall asleep.

That’s a fair assessment tbf

its people who are scum

Sorry but you have no soul.

:joker:

Because I don’t love Labradors, Rottweilers and all these other four-legged animals who bark past silly-o’-clock and chase you around unleaded when you’re just trying to get on with your business?

Surely you can see how certain people mind find the non-anthropomorphic, bad poetry-writing variants annoying.

But your favourite cartoon character is a dog :joker:

Yes because Brian Griffin’s such a typical dog isn’t he.

Moreover my favourite cartoon character is probably more-like Lisa Simpson or Homer’s bartender (Mo. if memory serves as it should for someone who’s not even 40).

People and animals alike who don’t know their boundaries do my flaming head in.

Chasing someone around aggressively has never in the history of ever been a good way to win an ordinary person’s affection.

You can't compare animals knowing their boundaries to humans knowing theirs. We, as humans, literally destroy habits of thousands of animals every single day. If wild animals come into our areas, it's only because we've destroyed theirs. And even if we haven't, the waste of food we throw out will only draw a hungry animal in.

Your outlook is so strange on animals, and dogs. And completely uneducated

I know ....Of course he isn't , he's a fictional character,but I still found it funny in the irony :laugh: .

I would not trust anyone who did not like dogs

Agreed. Nothing like a dog's love

Listen, everyone’s entitled to like and dislike whatever animals they want. If someone prefers cats to dogs that’s their prerogative. Being so attached to an animal to the point where you can’t fathom why someone-else isn’t super-keen on said animal seems stranger to me but you do you.

The stuff about boundaries was somewhat tongue in-cheek. Come on, man.

You have the right to not like dogs, you also have the right to not like any animals. Some humans don't care for animals, sad, but allowed.

However, tongue in cheek or not, comparing humans to animals not knowing their boundaries is just plain stupid.

And you didn't say it tongue in cheek, at all. I respect you Redway, but don't be ridiculous.

Dog owners are the worst for it

And it's like Foxes, people see them as vermin. The same people throw out food, carelessly, that is obviously going to attract Foxes. You can't blame them for wanting to eat when careless humans are offering, essentially, a free meal.

Trust me, I love my animals (sorta) but dogs by-and-large have always been an exception. I’ve never liked dogs and the boundaries-ish is just one part of it. It obviously goes without saying that boundaries don’t apply to non-humans in the same way (I didn’t mention anything like a social media detox. from pesky Labradors at any point) but I’m just saying that not being able to walk through a park without worrying for your safety or comfort (which dogs, especially the more aggressive strands, like to encroach on even if they think they’re just being friendly) is annoying and like Jordan says a lot of their owners are too naively-calm about it. No shade to all the cute dogs out there but the world would be a quieter, safer place is dogs learnt to act just a little bit more like cats. I’ve never heard of a cat mauling a baby to death but unrestrained husky dogs have gone there on occasion.

Even mosquitos, wasps and flies?

Or mice?

Cats I like, dogs not so much.

Don’t we both know it?
