Subverted, as my family allows me to own a scorpion, a python and a parrot, all of whom are all friendly, loving and loyal. However I do like dogs, monkeys and apes and kangaroos. But I find cats some of the vilest lifeforms on the planet. But only the domestic ones.

ZigZagged with me and one of my Original characters: To me cute animals include Bats, Snakes, Skunks and rats. But He cringes if he eve sees a rat swimming. His OC only likes creepy animals except for penguins.

I find myself doing a form of this trope when I go out to cut down trees for the winter's firewood. While I do prefer to take dead trees when I can, when I have to cut live ones I practice "What Measure is a Non Scenic?" I know conservation-wise it would probably be better to take one large tree than several smaller ones, but the big ones are just so pretty!

This troper tries to avert this trope in his works and his life.

This troper likes all sorts of reptiles and most insects and arachnids (except solifugids, and ''don't'' look that up if you're already afraid of bugs or don't want to be.) In fact, her concern for endangered reptiles almost goes into What Measure Is A ''Cute'', saying things like "Yes I know, the bears who only eat one thing and don't fuck are cute. Can we pay attention to Komodo dragons too, please?"

Subverted: The only bugs I hate are the dead ones, because dead bugs are so disgusting.

Averted with this troper. He pretty much tends to look out for any animal he sees, and will actually try and shield these "non-cutes" from harm.
