Furry Morality Question

[Erana]

OK, I'll accept that she has an animal face, fur, and tail. But her arm...
Bodies don't twist that far! Her shoulder is behind the sunflower, but the hand is in front of it, but to turn the hand at that angle, the shoulder has to be back...Its like if MC Escher drew furries. >.>
Funny how suspension of disbelief goes.

My question is what happens to nut butters and spreads?

Does all the sudden, these superpeople stop purchasing them? Have you ever seen a dog eat peanut butter?

In my local SafeWay the pet food isle expanded and now has a freezer and refrigerated section. So I think the IRL furries must be around already if the percentage of human food to animal food in stores is changing. Maybe some of the people claiming peanut allergies are really furries who don't want to blow their cover by going Om Nom Nom for 5 minutes after taking a bite of a delicious sandwich.

Actually, canids have a toxic reaction to chocolate, not peanut butter. My mother raises Great Danes and spreads the latter on bread to give as treats for that very reason.

Ironically, caffeine is actually toxic to humans in the same quantity that chocolate's toxic ingredient is to dogs.

I meant if you give peanut butter to a dog they kinda...well you know it takes a while for them to eat it. I just thinking it would be funny if a guy did that after biting into the wrong flavor of sandwich because secretly was a dog and had the dog problem when eating peanut butter.

No. Absolutely not. Discrimination is bad enough already when people just think they're superior, imagine how it would be when a group actually was.

 

[Baradiel]

Definitely. Even if there were very little benefit, I'd take the serum.

Dull and insipid? Do you know what an animal does? It lives its life in the same manner as its parents. Did you know that if you put deer on an island with no predator they populate and eat all the plants then die? Their carcasses poisoning the soul of the now barren rock. As a human I would have to say our instinct is to survive, to reshape ourselves and the world.Islanders would build a raft to escape and colonize other places, to survive. You find humans dull because you are dull, living as an island only with your thoughts. Go up to an old lady on the street and ask her if she killed a man, you wont find life boring after that no matter what comes next.

I missed this rant the first time around, and figured I'd qualify my statement.

We humans /are/ your deer on an island, without a predator, my friend. We eat, propagate, and spread the ideal that we're some blessed godchildren who make the world a better place for our existence. And there is /no one/, and /nothing/ that has the right to stop us--because it's murder, or genocide, to kill human beings. For animals, it's just slaughter; hunting. It's our right as the dominant species, to exist, and eat from our rock until it's barren. Any animal that strikes out against a human being will be hunted and put down.

Given the opportunity, we will spread from an island, kill its inhabitants, make them submit to our culture and methodologies, and in the long run, we write it off as Providence--God's mission for us. Or the duty of a master race, to instill its strength and purity on an otherwise poisoned world. Or we simply attribute it to the human drive to explore. Look at what the Roman Empire did. Look at Nazi Germany, or the Puritans and the Indians.

We are no different from what you describe--no need to act so uplifted from the rest of creation. The only difference for us is that unlike other animals, we're stuck up our own asses about consuming everything and birthing only our own kind.

So why shouldn't we try to do things different, be different, look to new ways to be beautiful, or attractive, or strong? Why cling to the same bland formula for all our days?

That was a typo. Soul was supposed to be soil. Without scavengers a lot of rotting meat in a small area is not health for the environment. Anyhow that stuff you described does not seem boring. But I guess that's perception on your end. The world is beautiful and terrifying but only if you take part in it.

Edit: how is crossing people with deer making us less like deer? Perhaps you are suggesting we should be less animalistic. I'm not sure if you are pro or con serum.
