I HATE PEOPLE WHO HATE ANY ANIMALS
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT!! AHHH!!! I KNOW IT'S UNREASONABLE! But just!!! I love animals so much! Zoology is my special interest! All animals are absolutely necessary!!! Yes, even THAT animal. I don't CARE if your body or mind "naturally" finds that animal annoying, gross, scary, etc. YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR BASE INSTINCTS. Mosquitoes are necessary fuck you! It is so messed up and cruel to generalize an entire species that doesn't even understand why you hate it or what it did!!! Even if there are animals that scare me or give me sensory issues I will never ever hate an entire animal species because that is generalizing and so unkind!
And I know this is ironic because I'M generalizing people who hate animals. But it's a genuine issue for me and IDK what to do about it! I could get along really well with someone, and then they offhandedly mention they hate bugs. Then my entire opinion of them goes down the drain and I no longer like them or want to associate with them. And again, I don't mind if someone has a fear! Or if someone has a reason to not want to be around an animal! But the entire species didn't personally come out and hate YOU and every species is ecologically necessary so it just feels so cruel to hate an entire species, it makes me so sad and angry I want to cry.
Feel free to help me change my mind or overcome this :(
