I never quite got the association between the furry fandom and collars and I don't think the association they have would exist if our world was an actual anthropomorphic society.
I think that if we did exist in an anthropomorphic society the presense of collars would be no different than we see in real life as it is now and we wouldn't see anthropomorpic dogs and wolves and cats and kagaroos with collars as every day wear and certianly not leashes.
In an anthropomorphic society all the furries arn't animals afterall, they are people, they shop at the mall, they play Nintendo, they love, they cry, blah blah. They're people. Do you know when we see people on leashes in real life? When they are children on those wrist leashes that their parents to keep the from running off. (For the record, when I was a kid, I took mine off, attached it to a shopping cart and ran off. ...That was the end of the toddler leash... After my mom finally found me).
If we existed in an anthropomorphic society and we saw a teenaged or adult anthro on a collar in the middle of the mall, I honestly think that most people would think that anthro was retarded and his parents kept him on a leash because he had a horrible tendancy to run off and try to jam his fingers between steps of escilators.
I think the odds of seeing a real anthropomorphic person with a collar with paw prints on it would be equal to that of seeing a human with a collar with human foot prints on it. Not very high cause they'd just look kinda stupid.
