		<description><![CDATA[The fear of meat is known as Carnophobia. This phobia is not the exclusive province of vegetarians: It affects many types of people, for a variety of reasons.
Reasons For This Phobia
This phobia is really quite common in our society, and many people can at least begin to comprehend the reasons for Carnophobia. Animal rights groups such as PETA have devoted a lot of time and energy to running publicity campaigns that expose the suffering of the animals we eat, and use for their fur or other animal by-products.

		<description><![CDATA[Batrachophobia is the fear of amphibians. When people suffer from this phobia, they will feel intense and persistent anxiety around frogs, salamanders, toads, and other amphibians.
Reasons For This Phobia
Amphibians have a unique and mysterious quality, because they are the products of metamorphosis. From a tadpole&#8217;s beginnings, to its mature state as a toad or frog, the life cycle of an amphibian can be awe-inspiring, but also frightening to some.
Amphibians may be seen as slimy, warty, or creepy. Often, frogs and other amphibians were used in witchcraft spells etc., giving them ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chickens are not generally considered one of the more fearsome members of the animal family. However, many people do fear these fowl, and those who do suffer from Alektorophobia.
Why Do People Fear Chickens?
People who fear chickens may have some experience in a farm setting that has made them wary of the clucking, pecking birds. Chickens are not without aggression.
When Chickens Attack
On both Youtube and the Maury Povich show, this phobia has been documented. Chicken attacks may seem comical, but it can be scary when you are the one being chased. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fear of wild animals is known by the Latin term, Agrizoophobia. People who suffer from this fear will dread the very idea of being around these sorts of animals, who will seem threatening and untamed.  
Reasons For This Phobia
Agrizoophobia is quite common. It&#8217;s very understandable that someone would fear wild creatures who operate only from instinct. Lions, tigers and other wild jungle animals are powerful predators who attack without compunction, tearing flesh and feeding without the slightest qualms or conscience. When faced with such primitive agression, a sensitive ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The otter is a cute little creature. Watching an otter twist and turn in the water and poke its head up to the surface can be great fun. However, humans and otters are not a good match. Otters have certain behaviors that can cause aversions in men, women, and children. If you fear otters, you suffer from Lutraphobia.
Some Common Reasons For Lutraphobia
There are some pretty valid reasons to fear these furry little creatures, since they don&#8217;t mesh well with the human race. They may look sweet and harmless, but they ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fear of bulls is known by the Latin term, Taurophobia. It&#8217;s not hard to understand why some people develop a phobia towards the heavily muscled, temperamental animals, who are known for their aggressive nature. The horns of a bull and the huge, menacing body of the animal represent danger (and sometimes challenge) to many people.
Why Do People Fear Bulls?
Just the appearance of a bull can be frightening. These animals, with their distinctive flared nostrils, can appear gentle when they are calm, but they still give off a dark and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Fur has been used for centuries for a variety of purposes. It has trimmed the robes of kings, and covered the satin evening gowns of Old Hollywood movie stars. Prized for its warmth and its softness, fur was often used by trappers as currency to barter for other items. Some people fail to appreciate the texture and properties of fur, and they take pains to avoid it in their daily lives. When an aversion to fur becomes a phobia, it is called Doraphobia.
