I would like to start teaching youth about furries and therians, and why they are not bad people and deserve to have as much love and kindness as anybody else in the world. I'm going to teach anyone who looks at this petition about furries and therians.

a furry is someone who has an interest in anthropomorphic animals. they are NOT the same a as a therian. a therian is someone who spiritually or physiologically identifies as or with an animal that has lived on this earth. they are well aware that they are human, most believe that they have an animal soul or was an animal in their past life.

this is the most known therian symbol.

it is called the theta-delta. a furry and a therian can overlap, but they are not the same thing. a furry does not believe that they are an animal at heart, but they like to make something called a fursuit or a fursona, a anthro animal OC that can represent the person.

this is a fursuit. it is not the person thinking that they are an animal, and they do not act like an animal. someone who is a furry uses it as a hobby. it is not a cult or something bad. it is just someone expressing their artistic ability in a different way than most.

both furries and therians are valid people, and my goal with this petition is to raise awareness about these awesome people in the world. 

people who bully furries or therians are not doing the right thing. they have their reasons, but the action of bullying is never okay, no matter who it is. if the bullying and criticism stay the same, people who are a furries and/or therians will still be hurt and want to hide who they are. some people who are furries or therians go to the point to commit suicide. this is a real thing.

i want anyone who can to sign this petition to help people who are furries or therian to feel more cared for, accepted, and able to show who they are without feeling or being judged.

thank you for looking and/or signing, anything will help. i will try to post updates and if i can, start a gofundme to help with this issue.
