How do you feel about people that dislike animals or pets?

Although I know it isn’t fair for me to do so, I have a hard time getting along with someone that dislikes animals… specifically cats and dogs. I automatically assume that animal lovers are better people-people and more compassionate. On the contrary, people who dislike animals automatically get filed away in my head as “cold.”

Of course I’m aware of what a bad habit it is to generalize, but this is something that I’m admitting guilt to. I know that Fluther is loaded with animal-loving jellies, so I’m curious to know if anyone else feels the same way. So, how do you feel about people that dislike animals? Are you indifferent, or do you relate to what I feel when someone crinkles their nose at the puppy in the room?
Is it possible that there is a grain of truth to the way people relate to animals compared to how they relate to other people?
