I don't.

I'd wager a lot more furries have fursonas than bronies have ponysonas, but the numbers still aren't 100%. That's why I asked about how people came up with their fursonas - or at least, the species - the other day in the furry thread, because I don't have one and am interested how other people see me.
I would not call one fandom a subset of the other, but yes, bronies and furries are very similar in a lot of ways, the comparison has been made repeatedly before.

I think there's a difference between "enjoying The Lion King" (which is arguably unrelated, but can be a gateway for some people) and "being part of The Lion King fandom". The latter isn't entirely a subset of being a furry, but if we were to ask how many people in that fandom are also a furry, I would imagine the percentage of furries being higher than it would be asking how many bronies are also furries.
