Wonder why did he not take care of the hat and why did he clean up so little (yukkuri usually don't go really far from home, I guess.) A-a-and I'll be a Wimpy Yukkuri-Lover Faggot for a bit--ah, I'm always him. If yukkuris really have existed, would they get some rights? IRL in most of countries (at least in developed ones, like Japan, USA, Germany and such) an unknown creature with a simple, but yet a valid mind would be protected (if people fuss even about theoretically mindless stray dogs, why not fuss about yukkuri? inb4 yukkuri have no mind and dogs have - I just forgot what разум is in English) and especially in earlier times, while they would still be researched. But what will government do after yukkuri research is finished (lol they would get the explanation to existance of living manjus)? Would they count yukkuris as weak-minded humans with a different body, or just as animals? If second, would Greenpeace and other guys like them protest?
Psst... on a related note, if you're not meant to do something, do it anyway and you say you know you're not meant to do it... yeah, that doesn't make it better.
Koakuma as yourself this question, why would people care about IRL treatment and designation of yukkuris in an abuse pic? It's like if i went to a FF pic to discuss the necessity to, from time to time, exterminate great deal of yukkuris for a ecological population control and how IRL groups would be forced to carry the task for the sake of ecological stability, quite out of place, uh?
Just take it easy, it's fiction, yukkuris will never be real, focus on what you like instead of worrying of the IRL connotations of something that will never be IRL.
Also a correction, Stray Dogs aren't mindless, just because they don't speak that doesn't mean they don't have minds or aren't intelligent, hell the only reason yukkuris speak is because of magic, not because of being "intelligent enough".

I wouldn't even say magic is necessary for them to speak our language, its just a case of their method of communication being the same as humans. The only reason we don't understand animals is because their communication methods are different from ours.
And, wow people, Koa asked a simple question and everyone is jumping down his/her throat, take it easy!
@Koakuma Would yukkuri have rights IRL? Almost certainly, at least for basic animal rights; but discussing what would happen with yukkuri IRL tends to cause flame wars and RAGEing's in prodigious amounts, so its recommended to avoid that subject.
It's not about jumpin on koakuma throat's or anything, but it's kinda pointless to discuss what would happen to yukkuris IRL, specially on an abuse pic, and we all know the connotations such discussion in such works would lead.
Basically, avoid problems with unnecessary questions, discuss such things on threads or the yukkuri fanfic group. That's where fire won't be lit up.
PD: Magic IS the reason behind yukkuris being able to talk, method of communication =/= fully developed language all the time, sometimes gestures and smells are a method of communication but not a language. Originally yukkuris only yu'ed or said "take it easy", that was their original method of communication, now they actually talk, not because of proper development, but because of "magic".
Yukkuris are 100% fanon; there is no right or wrong way to interpret them. However it is irritating to see people inject one extreme over the other as if it's fact.

Actually, My Interpretation of Yukkuris > You're Interpretation of Yukkuris. Always.
Besides there are better places to discuss such topics, one thing is a bit of behavioural or biological discussion, or maybe a bit of course of action discussion, while commenting on a pic (as long as people stick to the golden rule of what to say and what not depending of the Yukkuri Work type).
Another is discuss more serious implications, those should be discussed in the forum or the Yukkuri Fanfic Group, not in the pics, specially if it may have potential "Anti" connotation, like discussing that in IRL yukkuris wouldn't be smacked and maimed around in the comment box of an abuse pic or how yukkuris spreading would lead to massive exterminations for the sake of ecological population control in a FF pic.
We have a Forum and the Group, use them, please. I really think that potential flame wars and nerd rage would be evaded if we used more the forum and group for such serious and longer discussions instead of the pics. Right now we are too jumpy and it doesn't help that every blue moon a new troll of any camp shows up to pester us.

That. Putting aside the fact no anti-abuse for a sec, yukkuris having basic rights IRL- that shit's too logical. And everything yukkuri related is anything but logical. Seeing as if yukkuris came real, a bunch of other stuff would have to manifest for them to actually do so, and I'd say the attitudes towards them is something that would come along too.
