Recently had an interesting discussion in a skype group
Fun fact, many wildlife researchers and rehabilitators do tend to wear animal costumes or otherwise imitate the visage of a certain animal species. This is typically to A) Work amongst the animal with them being comfortable and in a natural state or B) Allow the young animal to associate caring and interaction with their own species rather than with a human in order to be released into the wild

All interesting (also sometimes derpy as heck)
...naturally this idea was sparked by a certain someone (you know who you are) who considered what the psychological implications would be if a human baby was parented most its life by someone in a fursuit and never seeing outside the fursuit...
A more interesting topic, perhaps
Discuss
