To dislike all animals?

I've never liked animals. From the time I was a child, probably due to a dog chasing me at age 4. Dogs, cats, birds, farm animals, I don't like being around them and don't like them near me. I have no interest in seeing videos of funny cats or dogs in YouTube either.

However, when I tell people I don't like animals, they look at me like I should be committed! Or worse, they think I advocate cruelty to animals, which couldn't be further from the truth. I would never try to injure an animal - I'm a vegan FFS - I just don't like being around them.

Am I really that unusual?

I'm not fond of animals either, but I love humans.

I don't prefer animals to people, however I am kind of fucked up and find human relationships difficult, so I value animal companionship. I do actually like people, but I'd rather be with my dogs. I am aware though that that's not normal or particularly healthy. But sod it it's the way I am. I've always been into animals and nature since I was a little kid anyway. I eat meat though so I'm all kinds of inconsistent.
