Animals do terrible things – and here are 15 of the worst
What image is conjured up by the word “animals”? for you? Is it fluffy kittens with giant bows? Perhaps it’s faithful dogs trotting at the heels of loving owners. Or …just maybe, it’s a collection of furry, scaly or feathered menaces like the ones in the replies to this question.
What's the worst thing an animal has ever done to You?
A turkey jumped up on a picnic table, and nicked my ham sandwich. I was about 6.
Also a goat butted me in the back.

A horse ate my jumper. Off my back. I had spilt toothpaste, it was wool, the horse licked the minty spillage and the jumper unravelled.
Another horse knocked on my front door once. But that wasn't bad. https://t.co/DGLPnhLKid

I was stroking a cat on a car bonnet and it turned round and pissed in my face. The smell lasted for days no matter how much I washed.

On holiday I was by the pool and a pigeon shit on my head I moved to the other side of the pool and it did the same on my chest I swear amongst the laughter of everyone I could hear it pissing itself

My mums friend had a parrot. It bit me. I told everyone at school. Nobody had seen a parrot. They called me a liar for years. Fucking parrot.

School trip to the farm, they made us get into the pen with these goats. I'm 5 and petrified. Deciding I'd had enough I opened the gate just enough for me to get out, but this arsehole goat knocked me down and escaped. Like, fuckin' SEE YA. Jumped over a hedge and everything. https://t.co/juW2YSye43

Walking through a forest as a young thing, looked up and had a squirrel jump out of a tree and DIRECTLY ONTO MY FACE. Traumatic. It all happened in slow motion too. https://t.co/juW2YSye43

I was wearing my mom’s long coat at the Japanese Deer park & about 20 deer surrounded me & started trying to eat her coat. Their mouths were totally full but of course they couldn’t swallow it so I had to keep pulling it out of their mouths but they kept trying to eat it!

I used to work with captive monkeys. I normally wore my hair up in a bun, but ONE time I wore it in a braid instead. I walked close to a cage, monkey reached out and grabbed my pigtail, yanked, and slammed my head against the cage wall. https://t.co/XcsiIGOMqL
