I don't care about your favorite animal. Right now, I'm curious about your least favorite animal, which is much more interesting and discussed far less in modern discourse. I know a woman who doesn't like monkeys, chimps, and gorillas because they are too similar to humans, and it freaks her out. That is a totally valid take: gorillas look like they could talk if they concentrated hard enough, and I don't want to engage with an animal that smart.
A lot of people might choose bugs as their least favorite animal because, apparently, bugs are scary. I have never been afraid of bugs, but I am the resident bug killer in most areas of my life, so it would feel disingenuous to claim that they're not one of my least favorite animals. If you dislike dogs or horses, you're in luck because they are not included in this list of animal memes.
