I've noticed that as well. I remember once while walking the dog I came across an Indian guy and his kid. I assume the kid wasn't born in India because when it saw my dog the kid's face lit up with excitement, but before the kid could even take one step towards me the dad grabbed him and with wide eyes was saying "he is scared of dogs, he is scared of dogs!". I was like... Ok dude, I've got my dog on a tight leash, I'm just walking by. I'll try not to scare your... Kid... anymore.
I started to get a little ornery with the kids when they screech and run away, and tell them that being afraid of animals is a bad way to go through life. You don't have to want or have pets, but you should be reasonably able to interact with animals.
