Reason: Typo alias BUR to catch many typos that have occurred in the past for the quadruped and feral tags. quadruped has an ambiguous vowel sound when spoken aloud, so it's understandable that typos may occur. Each tag's history can be checked here using the "Added Tags" field: https://e621.net/post_versions

quad is excluded since it could be a potential mistag of "quads", though it is most often used a shortening of quadruped based on a cursory look at results for the tag. Determining what to do with quad is a can of worms best reserved for a different thread.

The potential typos "eral" and "feal" were excluded since the first could constitute a name and the second is a real word with a distinct meaning, but I wouldn't object to them being added as aliases later as well. "fera" is excluded due to being aliased to a disambiguation. I think all of the other feral aliases are safe in practice.

EDIT: The bulk update request #9106 (forum #416896) has been approved by @spe.
