what the issue with furries

Indeed. Understaffed as well because our labor has gone to hell.

As well as affordable health care, housing, and more. Oh, the benefits.

It's a bestia adjacent deviance. People find it very disturbing that most of the "furry" subculture revolves around grotesque [bip]ualization of cartoon and theme park animals who were created for and remain intended for the entertainment of children. I get that people have rights and consenting adults can do things behind closed doors, but I don't want to see this deviance ever represented openly or celebrated in public due to its conspicuous proximity to themes of childhood.
This has nothing to do with any faith.

Your argument against furries as "bestia-adjacent" is a misleading and baseless attack that unfairly groups the fandom with zoophilia. The vast majority of furries do not support zoophilia, and while adult content does exist, the furry community is primarily focused on expressing their creativity and identity through their art and characters. Furthermore, most of the characters that are expressed are original and not based off of children’s media. Concerns about public celebration also are not widespread, as many adult fandoms are publicly visible without issue, and furry events are generally sfw and moderated. Just because you are not comfortable with them doesn't justify your baseless stigmatization.

There’s also Therians, people who believe that they are spiritually a specific animal, there’s a notable overlap for obvious reasons but not all furries are therians and not all therians are furries.
I have a feeling that if it were legal my manager would schedule me for that.
