In order for there to be Therian hunters out there, people first have to take us seriously and believe we're real X3
Consequences, tumblrkin and bought off documentaries ruined that enough (as if believing all this was easier as it is)

Hi,

I think I roughly remember where the concept is from... But like the others have said, there is no group of people out there organized specifically to harass therians.

If you wear a tail or collar you are generally likely to get bullied by your peers who will see it as a sign of not fitting in. This is simply the way teenagers behave and has nothing to do with you being a therian.

If you're worried about it, don't wear a tail or collar.

Lol, I agree with Wayward and Vukasin, there are no "therian hunters", that's just ridiculous. So, no worries hehe. ^^ Also, just to kinda add to what Wayward said, YouTube isn't a very reliable place to get info on therianthropy, so be careful.

No. Those are dumb and blatant lies. AWTOK isn't real, and most Youtube Therians are talking out of their ass. Don't listen to those idiots.

No. Lol.

Today (6/16/16) I watched a video titled "Therian Safety + Therian Hunters" by
Adrian D.E. AshPaw. The video is pretty harmless and actually very helpful. I just got scared on the therian hunter part.

She starts talking about therians and what it is to be one. Then came the hunter part of it. She said that around this time of year (summer to fall) there are therian hunters out there.

I was wondering what she meant by a "therian hunter". She explained that they harass therians by pulling on their tails and neckwear. I thought that this is sad, why would anyone hurt someone, therian or not.

This then leads me to one thing, are therian hunters real? I'm asking this because in Idaho there are not many (almost no) therians around.

I found this post quite awesome! It will really help new therians someone sticky it, lol

This was really helpful, thank you! I especially like the idea of making lists, and I'm going to give it a shot!

No no! This is a brilliant response with a lot of thought and meaning behind it and I really appreciate it :3
That is the struggle with wolf therians. You have to keep looking for other theriotypes because wolves are rather cliche. (then again you should never stop looking for other theriotypes ) but thank you for your input it was really helpful

Thank you for writing this handy guide Shmi! As someone who is still trying to validate her theriotype on an ongoing basis, I appreciate the reminder of the process. I keep thinking I should look at other canines because wolf just fits too well, almost cliche, and plus, well, wolf therian; everyone doubts that theriotype from the beginning. I have meditated, had visions both with and without meditation, more dreams than I can shake a stick at, a near death experience, and past life remanents and so far damn near all of them, save for some of my dreams have been some form of black wolf.

I've seen my paws, seen my reflection in running water, felt my tail, ears, fur, muzzle, and have many canine mannerisms, reactions, and instincts, but yet I still question. All because I'm a wolf. It almost feels like because that is the case I have to state it as such, almost like building a defensible thesis for a master's program or something. The only different things I've had so far are my two avian dream shifts, to probably hundreds of wolf dreams shifts, and almost as many Valkyrie dreams shifts. Sometimes it feels like I have phantom wings, sometimes it doesn't, but none of that feels much like me so far. I don't have those past life recalls for any other theriotype, or any of the myrid other experiences, but yet it still frustrates me.

My personal theories on spirituality and therianthropy tell me that we all have to be polytherians, or rather since souls are energy that can neither be created or destroyed, we have to have had many many past lives as various things. For whatever reason, we only remember something like our last one, what was most intense, most significant, or intense, I don't know really. That part I haven't worked out yet. But I keep expecting something else to be under the surface of my soul, like a spiritual onion if you will. Over time we build up new layers as lifetimes are added. But so far, I cannot peel back beyond my life as a wolf and now a human.

Sorry if it seems like I'm venting, I'm just a bit frustrated with it is all. As much as I have learned in a short period of time, and all the positive progress I have made, there is still much I do not understand or that doesn't go the way I expect or desire it to. I suppose that is life.
