Zoophobia

Zoophobia, or animal phobia, is the irrational fear of or aversion toward non-human animals. It describes a general negative reaction to animals but is usually divided into many subgroups, each a specific type of zoophobia; although zoophobia as a whole is fairly rare, individual types of the fear are common, and Sigmund Freud noted that an animal phobia is one of the most frequent psychoneurotic conditions among children.
