For me:

Monkeys and apes: they look too much like humans and expose many terrible traits of humans.
Greyhounds: their thin long body shape look weird to me.

Skunks. I have an irrational fear of them. I don’t understand their purpose, they’re ugly and smell disgusting. Shocking that there is in fact an animal that smells worse.

Mine is skunks but for a completely different reason. I just hate how cocky they are. Like they smell bad and know they can spray anything so they almost never run. They even don't care about cars bc they think they can just lift their tail and scare it away.
