AAAA - Furries at Berkeley

Furries at Berkeley, a chapter of the Anthropomorphic Animal Appreciation Association, aims to serve the interests of fans of anthropomorphic animals through education on topics related to and community building centered around the furry fandom. The furry fandom is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animals. Its origins date back to at least the 1980s in science fiction and comic conventions. Due to the diversity within the fandom, as well as fictional portrayals of the fandom based heavily on stereotypes, a certain amount of stigma and controversy is unfortunately associated with the fandom. The Anthropomorphic Animal Appreciation Association hopes to serve and portray the furry population on campus positively, as well as foster community collaboration between furries at Berkeley with other interest-based or academic groups.
