Hate is only a very strong fear. Animals fear just fine, it is a survival mechanism. The expression of hatred is the top-most rung in the fear ladder. Think about everything you ever hated... it boils down to a lack of control or lack of knowledge (I.e. the unknown). And we instinctually fear what we can't control.
So animals are going along fearing and not fearing. I easily imagine things that have shown themselves to be something greatly feared are, in fact, hated by that particular animal.
