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.

      I was gunna ride a horse when I was real young. Was at a party or something cause there was a good amount of people there. I was next in line to ride said horse. The guy in front of me, being it was his turn, went to walk up to another horse. That horse was not a fan a bucked. Hoof straight to the side of the face. Down he goes.

      Last thing I saw was him laying there motionless. Never learned anything else of it as everyone had to leave. Never tired to ride a horse from that day foward.

      I’ll chill with some cows though

      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.

      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”

      Horses are almost the worst, horae people are even worse. My girlfriend has a coworker and apparently all she does is talking about her horse and how unwell it is, and how fucking expensive the hose doctor, acupuncture, hose psychologist and keeping the horse in general is. One day she showed me a picture of her company dinner and i asked her which one the horse girl is. Of course she pointed at the 100+kg ork.
      They also shove ginger in their butts to make them walk funny. Again, i don’t even like them, but they still don’t deserve to be ridden around or drove around in a trailer for hour. I would be a miserable cunt too

      I, too, share your hatred for horses. They are arrogant fucks who think they are better then everyone else. One exception: there’s these large horses with fluffy hooves and fat asses that seem to be chill and more like large dogs. You’re OK.

    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.

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

    Wombats: their turds are cube shaped and it’s against the laws of nature.

    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 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.

    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.

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

      According to the University of California’s Agriculture and Natural Resources department:

      “Ground squirrels are associated with the spread of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rat bite fever, tularemia, Chagas’ disease, adiospiromycosis, and encephalomyocarditis. Notably, they can serve as reservoirs for sylvatic (bubonic) plague, a highly infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis…People and their pets can get plague if they visit or live in areas where ground squirrels or other rodents are infected.”

      As a fellow Jay who has also had to deal with Squirrels in the attic, I wholeheartedly concur. Squirrels - what a bunch of bastards.
