I understand and accept your apology and apologize myself if my statement was too expressive and blunt. I'll try to reconsider what I saw a little more carefully.

*keeps quiet*  As for the whole transformation thing which is the original topic of the thread, I would like to know what it is like to physically be a different animal if only once. Staying that way is sort of iffy with me I like being human and doing all sorts of... humany things ^^; but I think it would be great if people could change into an animal if only for a little while, it might open people up more to some of the problems we cause as humans but don't see and maybe right them (besides all of the fun stuff x3)

Thanks for understanding. I probably should not have posted my feelings at that time without a chance to cool down a bit, particularly early in the morning (in Russia).
Regarding jokes, well, it comes back to the problem with communicating through text. It's impossible to determine unspoken intentions, and some jokes carry some true sentiment.
Anyway, that's all I have to say.

I think I could pretty easily say I would be happy in either scenario. The first would obviously be more awkward but I don't think it would matter too much at that point. The second would be interesting just to see what everyone was. I know some people have some very strange fursonas. I could almost guarantee we would be overrun with wolves and foxes just from how many of those of seen around the furry community.

First,I would make sure it wasn't a dream or that.If it wasn't,I'd scream...uh...roar my head off until I calmed down.Then I would just go about my NEW life as a bear and hope to find a lady bear.

I wouldn't mind waking up as a bear (or wolf, in the case of waking up as your 'fursona'). At first I'd be all confused and panicked but after a few minutes I'd be happy. As a human, I don't have much of a life to be proud of anyway, so being able to leave that all behind would be a GOOD outcome for me.
Waking up in my own bed probably wouldn't be much of a problem either, but leaving my family behind would. Unless they give me the time to write something down in the earth with my paws or something, I don't think there would be any way to convince them of who I am. I also don't think this is possible anyway, as writing really needs good developed coordination, human coordination, which wolves don't have. It would be like trying to write with your feet. So yeah, I'd have to leave them behind. I'd probably just jump through the window and flee (window is always open, and I live in the middle of nowhere... wouldn't be that hard to escape).
That was the first scenario... The second scenario? Not gonna happen. Reasons stated above were enough me convince me this would result in chaos.

My fursona is a lioness. ^_^
Scenario 1: Just from joy, then run away into the wild so nobody can find me! Scenario 2: Again, jump from joy, but way more because there will be no humans left!!

Do mind Epesi, she's been rather negative about the recent pro-genodical statements... How weird, huh?  Let me rephrase everything I said earlier on the topic. To be honest, I would freak out and be sad... And then stressed for not knowing how the heck to get out of my room without killing myself.

I would rather not have either of those scenario's...So I'll substitute my own and later touch on the given ones. ;D What I would LIKE to happen is...for me to wake up from a human as my bear fursona...in a Brother Bear era and scene. Where humans have some respect for their animals and their animal spirits. The other important part of this is waking up as your fursona with your other friends around you as their fursona's. If you're leaving your old world and life...It would be the optimal thing to be with friends you've been Roleplaying with. Meet your friends the way you know them online and meet some great new ones. As for my personal feelings for being taken out of my human life...I really have no human life. I'm single and have one real friend...Not that big a deal. I am really not a sociable person in the current life, lol. Now all of this changes if we lose all of our human instincts...I would not like to live as a bear...not knowing any of what I do now...My trade skills..my personality...It would take all of the uniqueness out of each of us...and we would really just be a bunch of animals... That would not be fun. Now..for the first Scenario...i would first run out of my home and chase all of my neighbors out of their homes...scare the living crap out of them...Because I hate them with a loathing passion. then i would run out into the woods and try to "fit in" with the local bears and wildlife, heh! And from that I would slowly become just a regular old bear...Lose all of my personality and such. Be treated like a modern day feral bear. Would be rather lonely and boring..But I might like it. But its likely I wouldn't...Too much of a change for me..I don't like that much change. Now Scenario 2...would be interesting...And would depend greatly on if we lost our human personalities and were just reborn as our animal at the age we wanted...That would not be fun at all...a massive outbreak of very unbalanced animal populations...acting like animals...I would not like that. Now..If we did keep our human personalities...as our fursona...Some would continue what they were doing before...such as the anthro's and furs with human like paws...But for people that rather have a fursona of a full feral form...we would likely join with our friends...or try to go out in the wild and make friends with our close species...and try to find our old life friends...This would be nice...because everyone would understand that we all changed...we aren't weird...we aren't singled out...we would all try to help everyone out...We could still be "hunamish" with help of the "humanish" furs. Perhaps become sort of a pet figure...(which I would not like) or perform tasks to help out where we can...The point being..we can still socialize somewhat with our friends and more "humanfurry" society if we desired. Not like if one person in a group of humans transformed and was quickly outcasted. The option of being a shapeshifter would be awesome also. Either to shift into an anthro form of your fusrona...so you can still perform daily tasks..and shift into a full feral form on your free time to party and hang out with animal friends for various reasons! Or even shifting from full human into full feral or whatever you wanted...That would be fine also. the key thing being that everyone has to go through the same change in order for me to feel comfortable with it. Or give me the option of being a shapeshifter from human to my fursona..so I can lead my "secret" life  and most everyone else be human all the time.

Of course, if you did that, you'd draw attention to yourself as a dangerous bear. The best result you could hope for is that you'd be tranquilized and relocated or something.  Anyway, just thought I'd share something I found that's sort of relevant. Warning for disturbing content (don't worry, no pictures) and strong language. It just illustrates something that I think needs to be said: the animal kingdom is not a nicer place than the human world. Cruelty is not a uniquely human trait.

And the human world is not a nicer place than the animal world. I don't really think one can really say one place is better than the other. Both have their hardships, their cons.
And let me point this out: we are still a part of nature. Yes, even big cities are a part of nature. Since when was the last time you saw a city be exempted from a big storm? No matter where we go on this planet, we are still vulnerable to nature as are the rest of life.
