I hate ostriches. I don't even know why, I just have a unexplainable dislike for them.
Anyone else have an animal they really don't like?

Mosquitoes.

They do nothing but annoy you and suck your blood. They should go extinct.

Flies. I really hate them.
Can't say I like mosquitoes, ticks, fleas or lice either. I have strained relations with some other 6 and 8 legged ones as well.

I never could stand apes, and particularly not primates. And most of all people.

Humans are the worst animals ever. In fact, they're about the only animals that actually are horrible. Most animals people think are horrible, like snakes and spiders and rats, are really just gravely misunderstood. Just a few minutes ago I was reminded of this a genius on Facebook claiming to have educated themselves about vaccinations being dangerous and useless. I told them sarcastically "Yes, it's so much better and safer to get a life-threatening disease" and said their post was proof they weren't educated about vaccines at all.

And then I thought, "What have I done? This genius is not going to listen me because they're not capable of listening to anyone but themselves. They're just going to send me hate mail or something."

I think even animals I really don't like such as mosquitoes and flies and cockroaches (yes, they are animals) have a reason for existing, even if it's mainly as a food source by other animals that are less unpleasant. Humans have no reason for existing.

I have an irrational phobia of parasites, particularly internal ones (as in, they send my brain into instant fight-or-flight mode, not just the simple "ew, gross" reaction most people have), but I can't say I hate them. They can't help what they are, and if I can get past my initial reaction, they're actually very interesting - some have quite complex and unique life cycles involving multiple hosts, and they have unique adaptations to living inside other animals. I think I'd have a special interest in them if it weren't for my phobia, but oftentimes I just can't get past that.

I'm not fond of house centipedes - for some reason, I find the angle of their legs and also their speed unsettling. I can't say I hate them either, though - again, they can't help what they are.

The only animals I actually hate are humans as a species, although individually, a good number of humans are decent enough.

Bedbugs. They're brown and ugly and they feed on blood. They also take over and infest places. They're the Hitlers of the animal kingdom.

Just looking at a slug can make me retch. It's the closest to hate I have for an animal but I don't actually hate any animals.

Hate is a strong term. Nevertheless, pitbulls fall in that category. They have no right to be among humans because they're unpredictable and kill for sport.

I dislike many humans,find some creatures annoying.Black gnats are the worst.
Pit bulls are ok,they used to be used as nanny dogs.You can look up images and see.Its irresponsible breeders that only bred aggressive dogs to fight,that's what gave the dog a bad rep.
No bad dogs,only bad owners.

Since by some accounts we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction (of plants and animals, including sea life) in geological history - and since by even more accounts human activity, selfishness, and indifference account for most of this, if not all - I can't hate any animal.

What I hate is human selfishness and indifference. Not humans per se. Just the monkeymind aspect that seems to be working overtime to destroy all it can reach.

Killer whales, gorillas, orangutans, and baboons

Skunks and raccoons. I've had to deal with both, stinking up my property, and ransacking my garbage. Mosquitoes too. I did live in Mississippi for five years.
