   	That depends on the definition in use.  In the most broad sense,   
   	I would define "furries" as persons interested in   
   	"anthropomorphic animals".  To me, that would include MLP fans   
   	all the same as it would include "Nu, pogodi!" ones.   
      
   	One obvious way to put a stricter definition would be to require   
   	for a person to be a fan of at least two sufficiently different   
   	"furry" works.  There, we would, of course, exclude the bronies   
   	who aren't interested in "furry" works apart from MLP: FiM.
