#fear of animals

[pensarecool2]

I think part of why people assume most animals are aggressive is cause they don’t bother understanding animals and will run up to an animal cause it’s cute (or remember doing it as a kid) and then the animal responds aggressively or runs away or otherwise upset and it’s like… what did you think was going to happen? Especially if you have a kid see a smaller version of an animal (baby) and then the creature’s parents get upset about it. Like, if that’s your experience with a creature, and you never cared to learn more about how to properly interact with an animal, then that’s on you at some point. I don’t want to hear anything about how you don’t care about or respect animals cause they’re violent or unfriendly or whatever.

Can we just say that like…

Its perfectly ok to be scared of animals? Like any animal?

Ok maybe get it together somewhat around dogs because of police procedures and stuff, but you can like ask your friend not to bring their dogs over when they visit you.

Idk I see a lot of pet owners (exotic pet owners especially) trying to “break stereotypes” that are aplicable in every situation eccept their own. Like you really shouldnt be mad at people for being scared of spiders, they probably should be. Same thing with rats and racoons, and dont even get me started on wolves, foxes and wild cats.

Like 9 times out of 10 you most likely should stay away from any animal you dont know.

I LOVE animals, and I actually feel like you only genuenly love animals when you can understand that they ARE ANIMALS weather you like it or not. A Pitbull even if its a sweetheart can get scared and hurt somebody by accident. So like make sure to have some sefety prep cause the dog will also suffer the consequences of an owners negligence. And a wild mouse can get you infected no matter how cute it is, so just have some humane traps and take them far away, they probably dont want to be your pets anyway.

And like, in general, dont gaslight people about their animal related trauma. Just fucking dont. I see this with dog owners especially, like peoples trauma dosent stop existing because your pet in nice to you. Even if it wont hurt anyone, theres never a reason to trigger people if you know you can avoid the situation. (On just like the street thats their problem, but if you are aware beforehand take some action if posible)

And I do think fear of animals can lead to very big issues. Shark hunting for example. But theres still very good reasons to be scared of sharks. (The statistic about the cows is ALWAYS taken out of context. Please dont cite it to me, its irrelevant to my point) But this should end in, “no dont kill inocent animals just minding their buisness for no real reason, but yhea dont go swim there if you think theres a risk.”

Like idk this came to me because on instagram a video showed up on my feed of some snake pet owner being genuenly mad that people are in general afraid of snakes, but I like deadass know a little kid that almost just died from a snake bite two weeks ago. If youre not handling domestic ones on a dayly basis, being scared of wild animals is generally a very good idea.

Fear dosent have to mean hatred or violence, it can just be knowing to leave them alone. I got attacked by geese as a kid and you will actually have to kill me before I go anywhere near one now, and people keep telling me I need to “get over it” like Im going to have a goose as a rome mate. Like no. Fuck that. I have no intention of fighting off those fuckers again, and thats fine. Its literally perfectly fine.

Not every opinion you dont like is some societal fearmongering lie. Sometimes nasty things are true.

You’re placed in a room with an animal. The door is closed and you cannot leave. The animal is completely calm and has no intent of harming you. You are in no danger unless you provoke the animal in some way.
