If you actually did awaken as a bear..

Night Bear is very right. A lesson we all learn throughout life. There is danger everywhere and in all sorts of forms. We have to accept this as an inevitability.

And also a point that Night Bear made. Yeah, humans play an important role in nature as well. Many people monitor animals and try to help. Even the hunters who are there to try to prevent over-population.

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.

I really agree with you.
Bears in our world are different than those in Brother Bear. I might be obsessed with Bears. But, I don't want to be one in our world.
Can you imagine? The mom would drive her cub off once her cub has reached the maturity.. O.o
And a male boar would leave his mate raising the cub alone..

I would love to be one in Kenai's world. ;D

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.

Thank you for saying that, Epesi. It's true.

True as well. And a human life is valuable.

As for my reaction if I changed.. Honestly, I haven't even imagined such that much. I don't even recall having a “fursona”.
I have been very fond of different kinds of animals and as a kid I would play that I was some animal of the forest. I have wanted to be able to fly.. and once I wished I could turn smaller so I could go inside a dollhouse. But no, I can't remember any special time that I would have wanted to be something else than a human. It's possible that I have briefly wished something like that sometimes, but I can't remember it.
Anyway, thinking about it now.. I would (keeping the scenario that I'd remember my human life) feel very weird about it. And sure there would be problems like how I would communicate with my family, and if I should go to the woods, how I would adapt to the animal life.. I guess it would be interesting to be like that for a limited time, but I would never want to change permanently. My human life is important to me, and there are humans I love; I wouldn't want to lose them just like that.

Nevertheless, that won't happen. God created me a human, and that's how I'm meant to be.
