The Furry Fandom & Zoophilia

This page will discuss the Furry fandom's interactions with zoophiles, and zoophiles' involvement in the fandom. It would be nice to get some stories straight from the old community leaders.

For information about zoophilia from the fandom's point of view, see Zoophilia > From WikiFur.

Ancient Egyptians were sometimes regarded as the world’s ‘first furries’ because they depicted anthropomorphic animals in their statuary, paintings, and hieroglyphics.

Modern-day furries are mostly young adults (although there are many ‘grey-muzzles’) who enjoy art, movies, and other media featuring anthropomorphized animals – that is, animals with some human characteristics.

Most furries prefer anthro art and even those who enjoy explicit pornographic imagery often claim to be uncomfortable with and opposed to ‘feral’ sex – that is, sex where at least one of the partners is a quadruped. Indeed, the very image of two animals mating (without an anthro or human in sight) is enough to upset some people.

Despite the fact that most furries are against zoophilic relations, nearly one-in-five reports that they are actually a zoophile. This leads to some contention in the community as members on opposing sides often get caught up in ‘flame wars’ where individuals harass one another online. In some cases, furries have even ‘doxxed’ zoos by releasing their personal information online.

Despite all this animosity, the furry community is actually one of the main sources of ‘zoo-allies’, individuals who are not sexually attracted to animals yet who nevertheless support love between different species. After all, the heart wants what it wants.

Even furries who do not engage in bestiality still often masturbate to images of animals (often appearing to be the product of bestiality, themselves), have a bit of plushophilia, or even engage in pet play where they or their human partner pretends to be an animal. And many have seen the infamous CSI episode where a bunch of furries were having sex in fursuits in what is sometimes called a fur-pile.
