Recently, a disturbing trend emerging on social media has caught attention, involving individuals known as 'therians.' These individuals identify with animals and often express this identity through costumes, masks, and other characteristics resembling their chosen animal, such as wolves or cats. While this community is growing primarily in Argentina, it has started to spread to other countries in the Americas, evidenced by upcoming gatherings in places like Ciudad Universitaria.

However, the situation has escalated into alarming incidents, one of which involved a young woman who was physically attacked by a group of therians. According to her mother, in an interview aired on an Argentine program, the group bit her daughter's ankle, illustrating a concerning turn of events. This incident raises questions about the safety and behavior within this growing community and highlights the potential risks associated with such identity expression.

The incident has prompted discussions around the therians and their practices, sparking debates on social media about the limits of identity expressions and the responsibilities that come with them. While many in the community advocate for understanding and acceptance, the attack against the young woman draws attention to the need for dialogue regarding personal safety when engaging in such subcultures. This incident may instigate further scrutiny into the behaviors and social dynamics of the therian community, particularly in relation to non-participants who may inadvertently become involved.
