<div>'''''Day of the Animals''''' was a story in ''Good Times'', a weekly magazine covering the [[Wikipedia:Santa Cruz|Santa Cruz]] area of California, U.S.A. It was published on January 23rd, 2008, and was written by Amy Coombs. Coombs previously wrote the article ''[[How furry is it?]]'' for the June 28th, 2007, edition of the online British tabloid ''The Register'', and ''Day of the Animals'' reuses large chunks of that text.<br />
<br />
The article discusses [[furry fandom]] and interviews several [[furries]] in the lead-up to [[Further Confusion 2008]]. Comments are included from [[fursuiter]] [[Adam Riggs]], [[furry artist]] [[Kalu]], [[Tom Howling]], and fursuiter [[Morley John]]. Some of the aspects of the fandom mentioned are costuming, artwork, and [[fursona]]s (noting that "not all furries experiment with their identity").<br />
<br />
Furry fandom's reputation as a fetish is mentioned, refering to the March 2001 ''[[Vanity Fair]]'' article and television programs ''[[CSI]]'' and ''[[Sex2K]]''. John describes those portrayals as "unrealistic and blown out of proportion", while Riggs notes that [[convention]]s are kept PG and any risque behaviour is confined to private parties afterwards. Howling notes that he has "had a lot of sex at furry conventions" but this was not part of any official convention schedule.<br />
