In the Captain Obvious department, a post on Slashdot confirms that human-animal hybrids fail.

Saw the headline, thought you all might be interested, heh.

Just in case anyone gets the wrong impression from TFS, the aim of this human-animal hybridisation project is not to make half-man half-rabbit monstrosities but to grow stem cell tissue cheaply. Obtaining human eggs is expensive; it's much cheaper to get them from rabbits and cows and then replace the nucleus afterwards. It's a shame that research indicates so far that it can't be done.

In other words, ha ha furries fail.

Exactly. Taking things out of context is the purest form of journalism.

Dear Lord I hope they don't keep trying.

Furries will become a reality when they go all the way with this shit, and then the age of furry discrimination will end and they will be integrated in the human community, like in Raine Dog.

Funny, I'm reading a book that involves therianthropy and hybrids. No, it's not about furries, more to do with archeology and early human mythology.

Christ I hope I never see that world. Sure, it's great pretending to be an anthropomorphic wolfdog but what's the point if a real one lives next door?

Then I'd be pretending to be something that exists. It'd be like me pretending to be ginger.

Plus, the HUMANS of this world can't get on with themselves...I don't even want to think about what'll happen if we introduce another sentient species into the mix.

More likely it'll just give the bigots something new to hate.

"Aw, screw the homosexuals and the atheists; we've got FURRIES to hate on, now! Hey, bitch! Yeah, that's right; I'm talkin' t' you, fuzzy!"

truth be told, I would be bigoted against furfags if they found a way to be real.

I think I'd just be against the people who made them. Not the furfags themselves. It wouldn't be their fault they were born. :(

They wouldn't be furfags, they're just born that way. That's like implying every black person is born a gangsta.

when I said "I would be bigoted against furfags if they found a way to be real", I was referring to if people found a way to make current-IRL-furries able to actually look like anthros, not just a way to genetically engineer anthros.

basically, I hate all you goddam furfags, yiff in hell.
