Opposable Thumbs by ~pseudo-manitou defines a feature of anthro characters pretty well: They need those opposable thumbs!
Description
Quote Carl Sagan: " It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese."
Humans are not so above animals as we'd like to think. We know this in our hearts, so we build up concepts such as the 'soul', dreams, emotions, higher consciousness -- and then deny that animals could possibly posses anything like them.
When scientific study blows that false reasoning out of the water, what will you use as an excuse to treat animals as property?

You are right!
After all, some scientists are still stuck in the dumb idea that a living being needs to produce fire to be respected as a human would.
I believe that any concious being should be respected!
