Gotta add rodents. I hate practically all of 'em. I mean who does like rats, mice and squirrels anyway?

WHAT?!  How can you not like little rodent critters?!  Get a load of this cutie!

That's an awesome hamster!  I wish it had bitten one of those dorks on the face.

I have to second those who vote for centipedes. Creepy as hell especially since their legs seem out of sync with how fast they move. Knowing that they are venomous doubles their creepiness aspect.


Now on to one I also agree with but for different reasons than posted before. Humans: Interestingly enough for a project I have to research common trauma injuries for ER visits and the most common bite wounds that people show up with at ER's is in the order dog (most common), cat (moderately common, but why go to the ER?) and Humans.
No really, I'm not screwing with you, shockingly extremely common especially guys showing up drunk as hell with bite wounds on their hands at the ER in the middle of the night with no explanation as to how they got bit on the hand especially with the other guys canines imprinted across their knuckles.  Human bites almost always become infected. Any other animal at the ER they just mop it up and stitch you back together but if your bit by a human and you don't get antibiotics soon infection is extremely common.

Humans creep me out because we have a naturally infective bite.

RATS!!! Nasty disease spreading little vermin!
I'd rather have ten snakes under my house than one rat!
And head lice.  If I could will a species into extinction with a flicker of a thought, they and the fire ants would be gone in a heartbeat!

Centipedes are pretty terrifying.

Cats. I OWN a cat...I wish I didn't. Flea bitten ,amonia p**sing,worthless.
They reason I own the worthless piece of s**t is it was Tara's,and I promised I would take care of the fur ball waste of space.

 bugs of all sorts, I hate them all

Bunch of spider haters....

Mosquitoes, bees. and emo vampires...those are where my hatred is directed.

The spider in your avatar looks like the one that was in my sleeping blanket, only bigger..it is quite an eye opener to see one of those heading towards you with the will to attack you.

I will however give spiders kudos for the locomotive wonders they are..8 legs, any surface=no problem for spiders. But otherwise, not high on my list of faves.

Let me put this to you, in the words of Cracked.Com

The truth is that while you certainly shouldn't pull one out of a storm drain and put it in your mouth, there isn't any scientific basis to assume that rats are exceptionally disease-prone animals. This stereotype primarily stems from the infamous Black Death, an outbreak of bubonic plague speculated to have killed over 75,000,000 people during the mid-1300s. But it was actually transmitted by the fleas of warm-blooded mammals in general. Rats appeared responsible for the plague only because they were so common.

The same goes to roaches, but my post should be revised to say Flying Roaches.

That's a Haplopelma schmidti which is found in China and Vietnam...sooooo....unless you were hanging out there, it's not likely you saw that one!  They get to be about 8" leg to leg so I wouldn't want to see that in a sleeping blanket either!

Snakes - cannot deal with them.  I just know they're all plotting something.

Add me to the list of centipede haters too.

Komodo dragons - I don't hate them, exactly, they're just really spooky.

In addition to my previous post ...

Horses.  Just look at the damn things.  How can you not hate them?

[indianasmith]

FLEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Nasty, evil little parasites - they killed all seven of my Great Pyrennes puppies.  Drained them until their little gums and tongues were WHITE.  Death to every flea on the planet, NOW!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the pups. Do your Pyrennes live with the goats? That's a great  relationship.

Another similar animal relationship I learned about living in the country is keeping a few donkeys with your horses. I was told horses run from coyotes (encouraging them to give chase) but donkeys will stand their ground and kick the bejeezus out of Wile E.

I'll add two more bloodsuckers:
Ticks
Leeches
