<<..are you saying that you believe "animus toward" is incorrect, or just that you think "animus against" is just as correct?>>

Not really saying either, E. I am saying:

1) "Animus against" is common, accepted usage, as the two dictionary entries I cited show.

2) You have given me no evidence that "animus toward" is accepted usage, even though you think it ought to be.
