- In my stories that have both humans and Recom furries on our planet, and not as
- a fantasy piece, they furries are usually bioengineered by the military to
- fight alongside or in place of humans. The reasons for this are:
- a) the amount of money needed to engineer a complex lifeform
- would not be 'wasted' on making furries for pleasure or
- because they are 'neat,' but Military R & D would be able
- to procure that money, covertly if necessary.
- b) Furries could be built to be intrinsically better fighters
- than humans; the fight or flight mechanisms can be left at
- instinctual levels, and each species can serve a different
- purpose: Foxes & cats, recon & stealth; wolves & wolverines
- as grunt type killing machines; skunks as antiterrorist,
- using their spray to incapacitate, etc.
- I can't see furries being made by a sort of Tyrell corporation unless
- they serve a purpose business or the government would be able to use or profit
- from. Oh, and by the way, this idea is being used in a story already.
- My two cents,
- Tom
