I noticed that some people just have an extreme hatred for furries.
I have a friend and I would not call him a generally intolerant person at all, he knows I am homosexual and never cared unlike all other people I have ever told about that(around 6 people), but he has an extreme hatred for anything furry. Like on the level of "All furries should be killed" not the usual shit we can read on the internet.

I do not understand it, but there is really no way to get him to any not as extreme standpoint.

This article provides a pretty good breakdown of 9 reasons why people would be hostile towards furries.

The one that stood out to me most and was my first thought was:

  1. Lack Of Understanding - As with anything new, there is a general lack of understanding of the furry community. The older generation has a more difficult time coming to terms with the furry lifestyle (…) Unfortunately, many people are not willing to give furries any patience. They hate them right away, without a second thought, just because they are different from them.

older generation

Do they mean the boomers, because I'm 41 and I've been into the fandom for the past 25 years. It's been around for a few decades at this point.
