Animals Hate Him: Difference between revisions

{{quote|"I love all animals, but they don't love me back."

 

How a character treats, reacts to, and is reacted to by animals delivers a wealth of information to a viewer. The virginal [[Princess Classic]] can [[Friend to All Living Things|summon woodland friends with song]], the [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] will (despite hating animals) get [[Licked by the Dog]], while the man in the [[Black Cloak]] with a [[Red Right Hand]] causes everything around him to [[Walking Wasteland|wither and die]], and the [[Evil-Detecting Dog]] just ''[[Enemy to All Living Things|won't stop barking at him!]]''

== Anime and Manga ==

* Sakaki from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', much to her disappointment. Even a ''mechanical toy kitten'' breaks down when she tries to touch it. She ''loves'' animals and is to all extent a [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]], but all cats tend to run away or turn violent when she approaches. Only Mayaa, a wild-born Iriomote cat approaches her without fear. Mr. Tadakichi, a [[Big Friendly Dog|dog]], likes her just fine though.

 

 

* [[Played With|Zig Zagged]] in ''[[Darwin Carmichael Is Going to Hell]]''. One the one hand, cats freak out at the sight of Darwin, most likely because of his overpowering aura of bad karma. On the other hand, his pet Manticore Skittles adores him, and unicorns just can't get enough of him.

* Sam of ''[[Freefall]]'' is sort of this... apparently, his alien cellular structure makes him incredibly tasty to any terran animal - as a result, anytime he sticks a tentacle outside his environment-suit, it's liable to get bitten off by any nearby animal - regardless of its usual diet. He's been harassed by doves, frogs, dogs, and an emu... and that's just what we've heard of or seen.
