As for the "epidemic" comment, it actually does work both ways, though to a minor extent. There are some important exceptions, but with the majority of cases it does look like zoophiles are turning to the furry subculture as a means of giving themselves cover.
It bears mentioning that (as Xydexx helpfully pointed out a few posts down), the problem has been with us pretty much since the very beginning. Zoophile infiltration of furry dates back to to the 1990s, and it looks like then (as now), efforts to respond to the problem have been haphazard and disorganized.
Yeah, that was dickish. Sorry about that.
