This is a pretty controversial subject in the furry community. I stand by the people who wish to draw it without be judged by it, though I realize this isn't going to happen. A large amount of people see this as child abuse and I do agree with this but within reason.
Saying a picture (on in this case, a drawing) of a furry child character... Say a young bird girl who appears child like (anthro or feral), is the same as an actual real life human child is like saying to me that owning porn of a furry character in a sexual situations is the equivalent of bestiality, which is illegal in America, the country FA's servers are stored. You see how unreasonable this is right?
If we apply one standard, then we must apply the same to porn with animals right? Now I looked up child pornography laws and couldn't find anything in regards to fictional characters that aren't human. As a matter of fact, each time "child" or "children" were used, it was used for the Human species and not animal. This doesn't mean its legal though as these laws haven't caught up with this but the context is important here. In terms of media, acts with animals are handled completely different than they are with humans. For example, you can kill an animal on set and it wouldn't hurt the rating of the animal. As a matter of fact, they put in movies that "no animal was harmed in the making of this film" just to appease animal rights activist. This is also why you can see a scene in a movie where two dogs are fucking or just the abuse of animals in general. Hell, in The Secret Life of Pets, some of the animals in the movie have modeled assholes on them, and this is in a children's movie.
Animals in media are handled differently than they would be if they were human. The same is true in the real world as well. We aren't allowed to abuse children or even kill them but each time we all eat a 8 piece Chicken mean, we are eating animal that is no more than 8 weeks old, you know, a child but it's completely unreasonable to treat a chick (child of a chicken) the same we would a human child. If its okay to kill animal children, then why isn't it okay to draw the killing or sexual interactions of animal cubs or whatever they are called officially. If this isn't okay, then neither should allowing sexual or adult drawings of animals, since they too are illegal to own.
I've always been for what is fair to everyone. Furry Network blew up with this and now it seems to be popping up again and in all fairness for those who like this, the way they are getting beat up isn't right. The reason the furry community exist is to exchange ideas with one another and the bashing of one group for what may or may not be legal (technically) for what is actually illegal (i.e. animal porn).
I know posting this in a journal isn't something that will make headlines, considering furries think what I draw should be banned as well but this is something that should be talked about. To be clear, I don't actually like child porn, as most people in the fandom but it should be noted that this is a gray area with no real backing from US law as its in reference to humans only. This should be the decision of the public but the powers that be with money aside.
