You cannot do anything. Your friend needs professional help from a counselor if they have a true phobia of anything, whether it is animals or other things.

Just be supportive and encourage them to get that help. that would be the kindest thing you could do to help them.

- He thinks that they are vicious beasts. Is that a real phobia?

- If he is unusually afraid to the point of being afraid and anxious when he sees or is even CLOSE TO non-threatening animals, then he would be defined as having an unrealistic fear /phobia with them. That is what a phobia is.

The closest thing I could find to your friend's phobia is Agrizoophobia--the fear of wild animals.

Well look on the bright side, at least your friend is coming with you camping. I am so terrified of out door life and bugs that I will not step one foot near anything to do with out door camping type activities.
