Why do some think furry fans are zoophiles?

I mean there was a guy in 2013 named Ryan Haven Tenneholz who was a furry fan as he even had a fursuit then he molested his cat for 4 months then got arrested.

That guy is an example why people get the wrong idea about furry fans as even the community distances themselves from that sicko who molested his pet cat.

I'm a furry fan and i find fictional furry characters who are humanoid like Minerva Mink or Felicia or Cheetah on Justice League attractive and sexy but that doesn't mean i wanna screw my parent's pets or anyone's pets, hell no.
