Horses.
Its an easily startled 900lb retard with sledgehammers for hands.
No its not majestic, keep it the direct fuck away from 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 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 fucking douchebags. One ran me over back when I was 6 years old. I never forgave them.
Like the saying goes, if one horse ran you over, they all did.
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
Humans, because they see themselves as superior to other animals.
This method of thinking is the root of much of humanity's problems.

Sorry, but how can you body shape shame my beautiful lady?!
The grin!
These teefs cannot be contained.
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.
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.
I'm convinced like 95% of people that say they like monkeys have never interacted with one.

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.
Humans made them fucked up

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

Ducks and dolphins are the serial rapists of the animal kingdom.
True. From "aww" to "nope" as soon as learning the truths about dolphins.

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.

Squirrels. Cute as hell in the wild, not so much in my attic. They are tiny little destructive machines.
Their PR team is doing great work

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.

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.

The cockatoos of New Guinea. They know what they did.
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.
Sad...

I love animals in general but I don't want to look at opposums. Those wormy tails are terrible.
Yeah greyhounds look weird but they're the sweetest dumbest most loving buddies
