Furries deserve to be shot. Anyone that thinks it's okay to fucking rape an animal for their sexual pleasure deserves to stop living.
I dont care about people that beat off to anthropomorphic pron. as long as they keep it in fantasy, it's no different from someone that likes non-con stuff, but would never actually rape another person.
I'd like to challenge this briefly, even though it's already a blanket statement, and a poorly researched one.
I actually have spent enough time trying to get myself aroused off actual pets just to quantify the validity of your concern, to know that for one thing--it's /not/ arousing to me in the least, and that second, I hated myself for even 'trying' to touch a pet that way.
In truth, zoophilia doesn't really tie into my fetish in the least--it's 'being' like a different species, or tbe action of a human 'regressing' physically and mentally, that's appealing to me.
On a side note--you will find that a large sample of people from all walks of life have fantasies of molesting or being molested by another individual. It ties into sex drive as a whole, I believe. If you go back down the branch, the primate family is pretty well defined for its lack of mating rituals in many species--chimpanzees, for instance, just rape females when copulating.
There's even study on whether human females maintain a vestige of biological response to protect their physiology during unwanted sex.

When it comes down to the entire concept of the Furry fandom--zoophilia is not so much a common tenet as 'physiological fetish'. Specifically, humanoid figures having 'parts' not found on humans, be that fur, prosthesis, or sexual characteristics. Compare with people who have a foot fetish. Even that's not a 'founding' concept--sex is part and parcel of ANY group of people, to some extent--it's just become such a widely accepted notion among furries--much like trekkies before them.
