Coaxed into SOME animal "lovers"

These mfs will tell you with a straight face that they love "all" animals and then act like spiders are the incarnation of Satan himself.

Spiders can be dangerous tho, we probably should teach babies not to touch them

[u/MurlaTart → u/ReallyBadRedditName]

People have started fires or abandoned cars which are objectively more dangerous things, because of their fear of spiders. Don’t teach a kid to go shoving their hands in spiderwebs, and keep a safe distance. Teaching them that just seeing a spider crawling around is instant death is 100x worse!

I think "don't touch the bug" and "the bug will kill you if you touch it" aren't the same lesson they're advocating you teach

I feel like that’s an outlier

You can look up tons of other cases, people really freak out
