#47 - Bactrian Camel

Reason: Too Many Humps

Dom has long had is issues with animals with additional and unnecessary appendages. However, this one may be more baffling than any other. You see, while Dom still hates the Dromedary Camel for other reasons we’ll touch on in the future, he still has a sliver of respect for them only having one hump. This beast of burden is so lazy to find water that he has two.

POSITIVE NEWS FOR DOM: This species of camel is critically endangered!!!

#46 - Hummingbird

Reason - Waste of Talent

Dom has no time for animals that are too lazy or too active. But there’s a special place in Dom’s animal kingdom of hate for the hummingbird. Despite the fact that the hummingbird can flap its wings up to 90 times per second, they are regularly seen hovering in a stationary spot. If Dom had the powers of flapping his wings that fast he would be a regular globe trotter, and thinks that the hummingbird is a stupid, no good, waste of talent.

As a special bonus to all of my tech savvy-social networking, amigos out there check out my Twitter page, CameronEstey for an actual Dom v. Hummingbird interaction.

#45 - Baltimore Oriole

Reason: Bad Baseball

While some have argued that Dom draws some pretty fuzzy links between animals and the reason for his hatred, there is no question the direct link between this bird and its identically named baseball team. Ever the fan of America's pastime, Dom can't help but to cringe at this perennial cellar dweller ballclub, and equates this bird to failure.

#44 - Chinchilla

Reason: Should have Spanish pronunciation

Being in the order Rodentia would be enough for Dom to hate this floppy eared creature, but Dom's ire extends beyond the South American native's scientific classification. Dom hates that the chinchilla's name is not pronounced with a y sound at the end. He was delighted to hear that chinchillas are widely hunted for their furs.

#43 - Alpaca

Reason: Don't Deserve Farms

Anybody who watches enough TV has surely run across the bizarre "I Love Alpacas" commercials. The website associated with that commercial touts that alpacas are "the worlds finest investment livestock." Dom is certainly not sold on this drunken boast, as the only farms Dom likes are ones associated with slaughter houses.
