There are far worse special interestes than furry.
Vore (vore furry), body odour, stuff/piss and gore to name a few.
I can quite safely say that Team Fortress 2 yaoi on /v/ has scarred me far more than any furry research ever has.
Spy on scout, the memories still haunt me so...
On another note, the drawing is pretty damn stuffty for a trace.
