Photographs or any other multimedia evidence is meaningless - even if perceived to be authentic. It will be discounted and dismissed.

There never has been nor will there be an authentic image of the true form of an anthromorph.

Farms aren't evil, but perhaps the perception of being farmed (managed), is.
Mankinds' efforts to manage his environment lead to his success as a species. Managing mankinds' perception of his environment has lead to theirs.

Their agendait could be argued that the long-term goal is to secure their superiority and survival by way of directing the competing, and more abundant organism towards self-destruction. That is not evil - it is smart.

Their visibility and involvement within the affairs of man, has been dictated by man - not them.

The stories of Satanism, blood-rituals, and requiring human blood to morph are meant to garner fear in those who would believe, and dismissive ridicule from those who disbelieve. Either belief system assures their security.

Requesting the introduction of "factual based evidence" is itself a misnomer. Facts are once again simply perception, which as stated earlier, they are far more adept at manipulating than you are. Whatever may be introduced or discussed within the scope of this thread is purely anecdotal. Whatever is presented will either resonate with those who believe, or will be scoffed at by those who do not - or those whose function it is to continue to manipulate the perception of the mythos, one way or another.

I understand the analogy, but it could be considered insulting to people to compare them to farm animals. The environment and life of farm animals is dictated and engineered entirely by human interest in the animals as a foodsource, are you following through on the farm analogy here, in that the anthromorphs use humans for 'food' or sustinence of some kind?

With all due respect, whether such a course of action is evil or not, depends on your moral stance, and if you are the perpetrator or the perpetrated against.
"Directing [humans] towards self-destruction" -- That's a very polite way of describing it. If you intentionally and covertly take action over a long period of time to influence someone towards a course of action that is of detriment to them, but benefits you, I wouldn't quite class that as a self-inflicted course of action, given that there is more than one party involved - there is a perpetrator and a victim, even if the victim is not aware of their status as one.
I think the main objection here would be the deception and secrecy, especially over a long-term period. It seems very 'unsporting' and callous, almost cowardly - But I can see how if the moral implications are put to one side, it could also be seen as the most intelligent and self-preserving course of action - For example a brute force attack would cost lives and would bring out a great collective opposition and far more hurdles to jump over than a covert, unseen attack would.
That doesn't make it any better for the victim of the attack in the end though does it? They are still being used/abused, manipulated or attacked, only in a way that makes it more difficult to defend themselves because they are not entirely aware of the 'enemies' actions.

Could you expound on this point any more? I presumed you meant that the anthromorphs perception and judgement of human activity led to their interaction and the opinion such a course of action was justified?
This is thus a judgement call, not a request for interaction. Again, my concern would be secrecy and deception involved.
