Taken from a response of mine on insane_kangaroo's journal here on fa, because I thought others would need to see it. It is in response to lolicon being considering child pornography and the PROTECT act.

Here's the part of my post:

This is something I thought of last night as a very possible similarity to lolicon that COULD hit the furry fandom. Now, let's say that beastiality laws were to extend towards images of sex between a human and non-human animal. Say that it included even drawings, in which it was clear that the non-human animal involved wasn't even real.

That would surely get some furry porn in trouble, because furries are non-human animals and since the law is a broad stick, someone could take it to extend even towards anthropomorphic creatures. Now let's say the law was redefined to include non-human animals in any sexual situation. Suddenly, all furry porn can get you arrested thanks to these Obscenity laws. And yes, that could happen.

These obscenity laws are being fought because part of it is, who's the prude that gets to decide what's obscene and what's not? There's vore websites that show women swallowing small live fish for people's enjoyment. One man who ran a movie rental store chain was arrested and charged with obscenity because his stores rented out porn. http://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/23/t.....y/23PORN.htmll You just need to see the first page.
