This is inevitable. Better open this ourselves than having people from "l'echo des savannes" open it for us anyway...

This is more interesting to link furry with french laws indeed. But I don't think there are so many reasons to fear that.
First, it won't be an apology for "go walk down the streets in fursuits" - or so I hope. That would be absolutely dumb in every way.
Second : If laws say things, in the everyday life it's often different. Timduru have a good example of this : he walked from times to times in fursuit in public, and never had any law problem even when encoutering policemen, on the contrary. Of course, he wasn't alone, and didn't have a suspect behavior. And that should always be this way.
Third : about "arranging with the laws" (even if it's always risky, that's a fact), proving our good intentions and avoid trying to hide our real identities should help alot. What is kept secret is dangerously suspect. What is openly showed is just amusingly weird.
*Edit* But it could also be a good thing to remind people about these laws on the concerned pages - at least it would prove we care for them - that's again always a good thing - and openly shows far from pushing people to do things against the law, we warn them about not doing forbidden things - even if we do some of these things ourselves, for the more innocent ones.
