Zoophobia, or animal phobia, is the irrational fear or aversion towards non-human animals. Zoophobia is the general negative reaction to animals, but it is usually divided into many subgroups, each being of a specific type of zoophobia. Although zoophobia as a whole is quite rare, types of the fear are common. As mentioned before by Sigmund Freud, an animal phobia is one of the most frequent psychoneurotic diseases among children.Nandor Fodor, Frank Gaynor, "Freud: Dictionary of Psychoanalysis", 2004: (initial publ. 1950), article "Zoophobia, infantile", pp. 205-206
