1. Bats
“They eat billions of insects. You should be thanking them.”
2. Vultures
“Eating dead bodies might seem ugly to some but other animals do the same thing but also murder them so how is just finding something that’s already dead and eating that worse, also eating a carcass removes deadly diseases like botulism from the environment.”
3. Blob Fish
“They just get yeeted out of the water and the massive pressure difference makes them look strange. Kinda rude I guess. Like if we get yeeted into space and Aliens would laugh at our disfigured forms and print T-Shirts of it.”
4. Hyenas
“A whole generation grew up watching them help kill Mufasa.”
5. Crows
“Yes, I understand the caws can be annoying, but they’re far more intelligent than a lot of people give them credit for.”
6. Skunks
“They’re cute, man. Just give them space.”
7. Black Cats
“They aren’t evil and they don’t bring bad luck.”
8. Possums
“They eat pests and won’t typically bother you unless rabid or provoked.”
9. Octopus
“They get called creepy aliens but they are honestly amazing.”
10. Sharks
“They’re not as bad as people make them seem, especially compared to dolphins who are cold-blooded killers who people seem to love. PLUS, have you seen a salmon shark? adorable.”
11. Stingrays
“Steve Irwin would want you to forgive them for their crimes. Hating them is not what he would have wanted.”
12. Snakes
“Most of them are not venomous and your skin is warm. My friend’s corn snake liked to curl up on my neck under my long hair. Some of them actually like to be patted.”
13. Seagulls
“We made them act that way.”
14. Rats
“People think they carry the plague.”
15. Pigeons
“City pigeons were all once domesticated, and now they are basically strays. Humans used to have pigeons as pets for so long and loved them and cared for them. And then they decided pigeons were no longer useful and cast them to the streets. Pigeons are super cute and they have hearts full of love.”
16. Spiders
“We have a jumping spider that took up residence at my work, it takes care of any flying insects. Pretty chill fella.”
17. Bees
“I once picked up a bee that looked like it was about to die in front of a door to avoid her from getting stepped on. When I went inside holding her in my hand, people freaked out as if I had a knife in my hand. They won’t sting you if not threatened.”
18. Slugs
“They’re just chill little exploratory creatures. Sure they’re slimy, but they don’t deserve to always be associated with nastiness and laziness.”
19. Ferrets
“They’re incredibly cute, sweet, and intelligent little dudes and dude-ettes yet all anyone can talk about is how much they smell and poop. True, but does what comes out of your back end smell like roses? They’re great pets if you’re willing to put the effort into caring for them!”
20. Wasps
“The only reason they get aggressive in the summertime is that, especially by late summer, they have nothing to do and get really hungry/thirsty. That’s why they bother you at your picnic. I guarantee if you filled a bottle cap with sugar water and set it a reasonable distance from your picnic, they’ll leave you alone. Please note: if you are deathly allergic to wasp stings, interacting with wasps in any way is ill-advised. Don’t sue me if you try this and nearly die.”
21. Honey Badgers
“But honey badger don’t care!”
