I will be honest if I don't know if i could, I like the fact that someone is an animal lover. Brings more of a connection I think, at least to me anyway.

Anyone the same? Or you not really fussed?

No I couldn’t, the way they treat animals is an indicator of who they are as a person in my view.

Depends what you mean by be with them and how much they don't love animals.

Couldn't have a serious relationship with someone who doesn't love animals, but would have a casual one off with someone as long as their dislike of animals doesn't extend to mistreatment.

I mean, what are you defining as an animal lover here? 😂

I don't have pets, mostly because I live alone and I'm not allowed pets in my flat. I don't hate animals though 🤷🏻‍♀️ so what does that make me? 😂

Some people are just ambivalent about animals. Does that mean they're not a good person?

I'm curious.

I guess what I'm defining is someone that has a strong dislike of animals. Mostly referring to domesticated animals more than anything.

I've met a few people who just strongly dislike animals.

I like people who have to stop and say hello to every dog or cat they see in the street. That's my kind of people.

I'm a "stop and say hello" person when it comes to animals, and I imagine that would get pretty boring for a partner who was totally uninterested in them. It would not be a good match.

I have no pets - as in the ubiquitous dog or a cat. I have no plans to have one either because it's a responsibility I don't crave for.

I do, however, like animals. I'm not an 'animal hater'. Therefore I would be surprised if that was a deal breaker for someone looking to be with me.

Hmmm if someone actually hated animals then it would make me think,but I also know that not every person will have pets for numerous reasons

I grew up with pets so they have always been a huge part of my life

I'm allergic to cats and not a dog lover (though I'm happy that people have their furry friends) and have birds and scaly beasts in my house. Each to their own I say, and it wouldn't affect how I view someone.

Although on a side thought, people with pets have more constraints on their time, how long they can stay away for etc. That can be a factor.

I could yes, I could be with someone who isn't as much of an animal lover as me. I am someone who will be late for work to rescue an animal, I feel the foxes, and rescue birds.

I couldn't be with someone who is cruel to animals or was indifferent to them. I ended a friendship because she was moving into a place that wouldn't accept dogs, if my dogs don't go then neither do I.

No I couldn't,

My filter half wasn't really a cat lover when we met, but he loved the 2 I had.

They've sadly both gone now, but we have more cats that he dotes on.

Animals are a big part of my life and I wouldn't want to be with someone, who either didn't like them or was mean.

So I get you op.

Not being an animal lover isn't the same as being an animal abuser though. Some people are just indifferent towards them 🤷‍♂️

I'm happy to watch animals, but not keen in being too close to them. I don't trust them, they are animals after all, and might well become aggressive for no apparent reason.

I love animals! We have 3 cats and a fish (kid who wanted the fish forgot it exists). The kids lost interest after a few months so it's just me, crazy cat lady who cares for them.

Mr likes animals, he'd just rather not have any more responsibilities than necessary

and I get it, it's a lot. I sometimes think he had a point, but don't tell him that

I’ve not eaten any of them for 11 years now, cant say that I love them all; I just don’t think that my pleasure takes precedence over their lives.

I couldn’t get involved with a person who actively and obviously disliked or mistreated animals. How I define that and where I personally draw that line leaves me in a bit of a quandary. It was one of the reasons my last long term relationship ended.

I could be with someone who didn’t want any animals. I get it. After my dogs are gone I don’t want any more pets. Not because I don’t love animals, but because you restricted in your movements.

However, I could not be with someone who mistreated or was unkind to animals.

You don't have to be an animal lover to be nice to them/take care of them. It doesn't mean people who don't love them are out and about abusing them.

Anyway what animals? Ones that are traditionally pets or a broader spectrum?

Yep, I really like spiders but find guinea pigs utterly insipid, however I take care of my neighbours ones when she's away. I'm not sure what that makes me? I eat meat products perhaps making me complicit in animal abuse 🤷‍♀️
