I'm not a therian and most likely will never be one. I don't necessarily believe in alter humans either. However, the amount of kind souls in this community is quite shocking. Their ideas of having an "untamed" spirit are quite interesting as well. I say, do what you want to do as long as it isn't hurting anyone :) Btw, furries and therians aren't the same. Sure, they both have some sort of interest in the nature of animals, but they do things differently. Therians don't exactly think they're animals but believe they have a spiritual or psychological relation to any other species in the animal kingdom.
