What is a furry?

Yeah, what is it? So I've read different things about it online but I still haven't grasped what it really is all about, besides from people dressing up in animal costumes and there being a lot of hentai of it. Is it just some sexual fetish, lifestyle or what is it? Do these people think of themselves as animals or what, and have the need of dressing up in furs or whatever? Is there some kind of ideology/belief behind all this? Are there different kinds of furries? There are some furries around here right, who can give me some answers on this?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anyways I've pretty much heard that they fail at life etc. or whatever already a thousand times so I was thinking maybe someone could tell me what it is that all these people get get so irritated at all these furries. I mean, there are lots of more weird fetishes (or whatever it is) out there that people could be picking on instead?
