There is a petition currently underway to define furries as sexual deviants. I don't agree with this. I see furries as artists.

Weather creating visual art or literature, attending conventions, or just providing creative criticism in online communities, all furries are contributing to the creation of art.

And yes, there are furries that draw images that are "not safe for work", how is it any different then nude artwork. Artwork is Artwork regardless of it's contents.
