As a long-time primate fan in the Furry Fandom, I have noted that the feelings shown by a seeming large majority of the fandom towards primates and anthro-primates goes beyond disinterest and falls into a downright surly attitude towards our close cousins. I've noted this at conventions and in on-line chat rooms -- furry fans tend to genuinely dislike primates and they're not shy about saying so. Why? I have been trying to figure that out for some time, without much luck.
