They have verifiable sources and are an international group of interdisciplinary scientists but their conclusions don't mean that your subjective experiences aren't real. Still, they are anecdotal, which is why I wanted to provide another source of information for people reading this thread.

EDIT: To clarify, Furscience is a research group funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. They are actual, published scientists, some with doctorates. Even if some of them are part of the subculture they still apply proper methodology and are subject to peer review.
