horses make me uncomfortable, but i wouldn't shoot any.

I've never heard of anyone hating deer before.

My dad seems to deer better on the dinner table while I really do not. It's not really because I feel bad for the animal or anything, I just don't like the gamey flavor and texture of the meat. I once told my parents I sometimes wish pizzas lived in the woods. :lol:

Foxes. Mangy things that have screaming orgasms at night! Very annoying!

I take it you live in Australia. I'm betting there you have creepy crawlies such as spiders, scorpions, and centipedes that truly are dangerous.

Well, yes, but those creatures tend to leave people alone unless you get in their space.
Wombats seem to go out of their way to bowl you over and plough through your things.
And they sound like the worst case of teeth grinding you ever heard when they eat.

Sounds like you dislike them for reasons similar to those I dislike raccoons.

^ yes, I've heard raccoons can be quite invasive.

I suppose people think wombats are cute if they haven't seen them in action, but they're pure muscle and extremely strong so they can do quite a bit of damage.
We stayed at a campsite once and a camper (stupidly) left some unsecured food in their tent.
Their tent was absolutely ripped to shreds by the resident wombats.
The attack seemed comparable to that of a small bear.

My brother once left a partial bag of chips under his cot while camping with his scout troop and woke up to raccoons fighting under his cot. I'm very glad they were less violent than those wombats (and I'm sure he is, too).

What's wrong with gorillas and orangutans?

I don't really hate any particular animal or insect. I would just like some of them to stay away from me. I think the worst non-human animal to encounter in the wild though would be a chimpanzee, hippo, honey badger, or black mamba.

They will chase you relentlessly.

I would say Donald Trump, but he's not high enough on the evolutionary scale to be classified as an animal. :twisted:

Raccoons are an omnivore/generalist species, and very smart. They are very strong for an animal of their size, and have nimble little hands (yes, hands, not paws or claws). I had an ongoing battle with them to keep them out of my trash.

Heres what I want to see: a raccoon and a wombat fighting over a garbage bag filled with fish heads, cheese, potato chips, and hamburger meat. Actually I'm not sure what wombats eat but a raccoon would be all over that bag in a micro.

Possums; to me, they look like rats with beady eyes and prehensile tails. My old dog Satin brought one into our home, and even though it is dead, it still scared the s*** out of me.

I know what you mean. They have mean tempers too.

Odd fact--the Virginia Opossum is the only marsupial known to exist outside of Australia.

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.

Personally I feel the same can be said of humans. They are unpredictable and they definitely kill for sport. I find sport hunting disgusting. As well as displaying "trophies". The fact that it's an animal and not a human makes no difference. It's still abhorrent behavior to me.
