Not only do furries have a focus on animals, but most of us understand what it’s like to be misunderstood. What better place to find a sympathetic ear, right?
There is another consideration as well. "Zoos" tend to be highly aggressive. Given that Furries are already known for an affinity for anthropomorphic animal characters, they tend to view Furries as potential recruits. To paraphrase a line from Star Trek Next Generation:
WE ARE THE ZOOS. LOWER YOUR PENCILS AND SURRENDER. WE WILL ADD YOUR
FURRY DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
That is not a joke. That's exactly how they view Furrie-dom.
