are there any animals you dont like or are fearful of?

[Big Dave]

I love sharks and gators, always had a weird fascination and admiration. Horses used to freak me out so I went and bought 2 Percheron Draft horses, once you bond with a 2000lb animal their is nothing quite like it. That said, I hate WASPS and CENTEPEDES and Giant Water Beatles(toe biters).

Any type of Wasp, Hornet or Bee and I lose my mind, I have a deep phobia of them, luckily I've never been stung.

I wouldn't go as far to say I'm afraid of horses and other equine. I just do not trust them, period. Several of my friends and family own them and have begged me numerous times to ride. I've always said" sorry but I'm not riding anything without a kill switch". I've always had a passion for insects and all forms of herps. BUT, spiders freak me the hell out! I'll scream like a girl and take off if one gets near me. There's been many occasions I've injured myself and nearly others trying to get away from them. I really can't explain why either. It's weird that I'm more than comfortable riding sport bikes, dirt bikes, and racing anything with wheels but terrified of spiders. I guess it's just another type of fear that I haven't gotten over yet.

Anything in my house with more than 6 legs gets flushed. Things with 6 legs are on a case by case basis... but usually flushed. Exceptions are the insects I breed for my bearded dragon, and that's only because I know where they've been their entire lives.

Monkeys and spiders.

Monkeys are way to close to people, evil intelligence without the inhibitions. They can look cute as babies, of course, but I just think they are truly mean spirited animals. The only ones I somewhat like are Gorillas.

Spiders just freak me out and literally make me feel ill to my stomach. Downright give me panic attacks.

I don't like rats. I have tried to get over this fear but even after trying to appreciate the creature, I still do not like them. They feel creepy to me. I think that's why I like snakes. I can feed as many of them off to my ball pythons.

-Cockroaches and Clowns...

Monkeys and spiders.

I guess Spider Monkeys are the double whammy for you, huh?

[Miko]

None at all what so ever, I used to be afraid of spiders... but I played so many video games in my bug infested basement I just got used to it. My video game playing buddy was a spider for three days. He just chilled around the same place.

I've never really understood the horse thing because I owned a horse years ago but then again, there are people who don't understand my fear of only certain bugs or spiders but not all of them.

For those of you afraid of horses, is it just horses? Or is it any large animal like that.

My dad was afraid of horses and I never knew why. He wouldn't get anywhere near mine but he didn't seem outwardly nervous to see me near or on one. But strangely he had no problem with my uncles cattle. They escaped once and were walking down a rather busy road and my dad had no issues running after a small herd of beef cattle and herding them back to my uncles small farm. I never understand that.
