    To be honest killing all apes would be a smart choice technically.
    That is just flat out wrong, but it seems like a thing someone that haven't had a cat would say, or their cat has an asshole personality.

    I think platypus gets a really bad rap.

    Shark and wolves for me

    One person in 200 years have died form a wolf attack in Sweden (more sheep though)

    And about 5 people die from sharks each year, such a HUGE number

    3. Chimpanzees (and other apes) - because of the their human appearance and their lack of self-control, they are noted for attacking humans. However, not all apes will attack people; gorillas, orangutans and bonobos rarely attack people and deaths by them are almost unheard of.

    4. Cats - cats can get a bad rap, because they are not like dogs. A cat loves you, but sees you s an equal, but a dog sees you as a master.

    Just my opinion
    1) sharks are scary cause they can take big bites out of you easily if they want too. attacks are low cause encounters are low. in areas with frequent encounters u hear of attacks. while not "common", its enough to make you think twice while you're in the water.

    2) pit bulls are nothing like terriers and deserve their rep. not much else to be said there

    3) meh, dont think i hear anybody complaining about monkeys, more of a running joke comparing them to a particular race but thats about it.

    4) lol cats dont think of you as their equal, they dont give a fuck about you. i bet you money you die tomorrow your cat wont give a shit and lick himself clean like every other day but a dog, well we all know.

    Cats see you as another cat, they can love you or they can hate you. I have a cat and she is honestly very devoted to me, whenever I feel sad or depressed, she's always there to rub against me and sit patiently beside me.

    With dogs atleast, it depends how you raise them lol not all pitbulls are going to maul people.

    This may seem completely fucked up, but the breed needs to die out. It's so screwed up in terms of genetics and diseases that continuing the breed is actually, in a larger sense, a sick joke. Same with bull dogs and certain purebreds.

    Cats are assholes.

    Did you know that with their retracting claws, and going into a litter box, they literally breed deadly bacteria in their claws, then scratch your ass with them, making an open wound AND delivering it?

    Real shit right there, fucking cats. Growing up, my mom was a cat fanatic. Out of 12 cats total throughout my life growing up, two were actually what I would call a genuinely good pet and companion. The others just acted as if they paid rent and lived there.

    I was going to say Chimps/Bonobos because people think that they are "less evolved" than humans.

    Of course, there is an animal that doesn't get a bad enough rap.....yes...I'm talking about bears.

    I've read comments of people wanting to kill baby bonobos... disgusting human beings.

    Those are crane flies. They're also harmless.

    However, they are the only animal that... perturbs... me. I'm not scared of them, but they unsettle me.

    Well, centipedes can give painful venomous bites.

    All crane flies do is fly around in loopy circles.
