April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI always thought it somewhat surreal for a furry to have a pet dog.

Membersome people rationalize it by saying that we (humans) are responsible for the anthro's, and that we 'mysteriously' disappeared.

MemberIs it surreal for a human to have a pet monkey?

MemberIllegal in many places, actually. Never really because it's a monkey specifically, just because they're exotic animal for the region or endangered. On a more topical issue, what species is the creature in the bottom left? The blue one with the ear muffs?

Member... Well, given the tubular body, mane along the spine, enormous tail, and antlers... I'm gonna have to guess it's the obvious? That is, an eastern dragon of some sort.
I could be mistaken, perhaps it's something more specific like a kirin -- but those usually don't have the enormous tail.
