I am an animal lover, especially dogs, but others as well. What about you? What ones do you like?
I've always had a cat and a dog--both are loved, each for their own unique characteristics and personalities. My favorite cat was a Siamese named Kim--he lived to be 19. And my favorite dog was our Samoyed, Tasha. She lived to be 13, and I still miss her. Our animal friends can break our hearts.
Cats, ferrets, pangolins, donkeys, coypu, camels, lemurs, otters, foxes, badgers, rhinos, giraffes, rabbits, hares, octopus, hedgehogs, squirrels, pine martins, swifts, crocodiles, tigers, trilobites, crows, ravens, bats, moths, whales, sharks, manta rays, shrews, weasels, stoats, gerbils, llamas, civets, hyenas, jumping spiders, wasps, bees, dragonflies, skunks, red pandas, gorillas, geckos, elks, reindeer, Tasmanian devils... and a whole lot more.
I like all of them Special place reserved in my heart for Orangutans.
Over many decades , I've had both dogs and cats as pets . As a child , my parents also had chickens and goats . My plans for my present were no more pets , but a Momma cat moved in and had a litter . When they were about 6 weeks , she was murdered . I gave away 4 , and kept 2 . They're about 5 years old now .
I love all animals even the ones I don't want in my house. I've been in an apartment for a long time, so I have a cat and don't have a dog even though I would like one.
My favorite wild animals are sharks, tigers and lemurs. My dream vacation would be diving with great whites.
I love 'em all, but have an especially soft place for birds..and horses!

I like most animals. I love dogs, but I also love the creatures that people fear and hate due to ignorance. Here are some I've rescued
I rescued a rattlesnake once and a few other nonvenomous noodles
@Condor5 I absolutely agree. I think part of compassion for snakes stems from the fact that they are stigmatized, I feel due to biblical fairytale, and they are useful.
They're also feared far beyond their actual threat level. Most of the people bitten are dumbasses *raises hand sheepishly who pick them up.
I am a cat person. Dogs are okay. As to the non-domesticated ones - otters, of course top the list. Owls and birds of prey.
Butterflies. They are quiet, do not need a litter box, and can feed themselves.
do you raise them?
@PappyOnWings I would love that. I know nothing about it though
@PappyOnWings I'm afraid my cats would be "into" that.
@PappyOnWings when I was about 6 I was crawling around under a bush and found 5 cecropia moths emerging from the cocoons. I will never forget that
I like all animals and have to remind myself I do not operate a zoo. I have dogs cats and alpacas right now. I have a parrot that came to me second hand, acted like it loved me to break out of its prison at the store then tried to kill me for 20 years after that, He is on permanent loan to a guy that he decided he loved
As my son would say, if you eat meat, then you don't love animals
I love animals, all kinds from horses to hamsters. Dogs are a lot of fun, I'd like to have one but more work and responsibility than I'm willing to exert. I have a cat, and she's about all I'm willing to take on. My fur nephews & nieces come and visit we play, sometimes they spend the night, then it's back home.
I’ve been obsessed with goats for awhile now ????
me too
Cats and dogs. I've always liked both equally - but cats are easier pets for me.
I did have a dog for 15 years though (A 50 lb dog which will impress some of you).
Pretty much anything furred or winged.
Phobic about snakes. Ok with spiders. Yep I'm the camp counselor that everyone got when there was a 5 inch spider to carry out of the cabin. Let me tell you - 7 yo girls can scream!
I don't consider myself animal lover.... animals love me... specially the females. Dogs and cats are all over me.
I love all animals, even snakes and lizards. I do like cats more, they just fit my personality well. But I have a little doxie that I got over a year ago, shes literally the sweetest dog ever, when shes not chewing literally everything she can get her paws on. But I love her and wouldn't trade her for the world.
I really don't think there are animals that I don't like, Life amazes me. That said, I do form extremely close bonds with animals that are part of my life and there have been hundreds, cats and dogs mostly, but have had extremely intelligent goats and even chickens that I have mourned.
I love my dog so much that I only have one pet because she tends to be a little jealous. But I like most animals, I adore horses, cats, rats, and hedgehogs. I like sloths so much that daydream about going to South America so that I can volunteer at the sloth rescue. I love Bactrian camels and mountain lions. I'm not a particular fan of monkeys, but Apes are okay and lemurs are adorable.
