By George!

George W Bush said in his "State of the union" address the other day:

"Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: [...] creating human-animal hybrids [...]"

I guess this means we won't see any American furries any time soon!

Kill Bush!

Oh my, I wouldn't go quite that far.

Pfft, I heard about that on the Daily Show (yeah, I'm a liberal). Since when is the US trying to create furriesXD?

[victorfox]

I doubt anyone is seriously trying, but as this has been a long-standing theme in science-fiction, and with the rapid advances in genetic engineering, I suppose many people think it might happen eventually. Some of those hate the idea so much that they want to stop it before it happens.

I'd say it's more likely a reaction against people putting human ears on mice and such things. Which is bad, because then they kill the mice... Using other living things as replacement part factories is kind of respectless...

Well that, or they've seen any of the bazillion TV shows StalkerCat has appeared in. And he's scary-like, so I kind of understand them then.

I think Mr. Bush looks at it more from a religious angle than anything else. Like, mixing human with animal is ungodly, or some such.
