I could understand a fear of chimps and gorillas because they're giant animals that can rip your arms off with ease. But as a lot of people have already said; these people are probably projecting human traits on these animals to get off to the idea of harming an actual human who they hate or something.I can see how being terrified of large sea creatures would come about. In the depths no one can hear you scream. Jonah got swallowed by a whale. There's Moby dick. A lot of people are afraid of drowning or the water in general. There's lots of freaky creaures in the sea that look like nightmare fuel. Although most are way too deep for humans to encounter.
But monkeys? Other than King Kong (who was mistreated in the film) I don't see any reason why the average person would flat out hate non-human primates for no reason. Especially if you live in an area that is free of monkeys. I've only seen them in zoos myself.
Maybe because some species look vaguely human and it freaks people out? But so do sloths and no one seems to be into sloth torture.
I'd say there's a decent chance she's into monkey torture. Intense hatred of a species is a lot different from not being a dog person or being annoyed by crow caws.
It's just fucking odd. It's not morbid curiosity like liveleak shit or the chinese supermarket videos where people point out their disgust at the cruelty of the Chinese. Those are weird and fucked up, but this is the realm of sexual gratification.
