Violation of the Geneva Fur Conventions!

In a shocking story from the Heartland, a chlorine gas leak disrupted the Midwest FurFest in a hotel in a suburb of Chicago. It is suspected that the chlorine gas leak was intentional:

The manner by which the substance, which was consistent with powdered chlorine, was released “suggests an intentional act,” according the statement from Rosemont police, who are investigating the incident as a criminal matter.

Chlorine gas, which was used extensively in WWI's trench warfare, is now considered a banned substance under the Geneva protocol. The use of this banned substance on the furry community, whose members often wear headgear which may dull their sense of smell or prevent them from hearing alarms, might represent a hate crime, verging on a war crime, committed by mundane extremists. The Geneva Conventions should be in effect to protect fur conventions.

The best case scenario, in this ugly incident, is an accidental chlorine gas release by a green dragon otherkin. Should this be the case, better regulation of the more dangerous "kindred" must be implemented to protect the community at large.

UPDATE: If there's anything that can make a horrible event even worse, that thing is coverage on the "Morning Joe" show.





This scene is rather unusual, in that Mika Brzezinski runs off the set after learning what "furries" are- she is a sophisticated, jaded coastal elite type, so I doubt that a mere paraphilia, no matter how outré, would phase her. I believe she is running off the set so she can jet out to Chicago to join the furries, now that she can put a label to the yearning which has always been in her heart. I imagine her "fursona" is a golden jackal. Also, please note that, at the 32-second mark, there is a green dragon present in the crowd. I believe that this individual is a dragon of interest and have alerted the authorities, namely St George and King Pellinore.

Diet: Small humanoids such as gnomes are preferred, but prize elves and sprites most. Will eat any animal if hungry.

The poor dragon was probably mighty confused by the chewy fake-fur exterior of his food.

I remember when going out for a sprite meant grabbing a can of soda.

I've obviously live a sheltered little life, I had to look up furries. I'm still none the wiser.....why.....just why?

Nah, it's largely a function of her fine golden pelt.

Dragon should stop goblin.

Maybe I should put up a post about "vore".

I'd lump the Questing Beast in with the dragon clade... it has a sirrush-y vibe. Why wasn't there a Sir Rush at the Round Table?

Good call.

I have pretty good instincts in this regard.

This article is still the best intro into the scene.

I saw Genesis at the Rosemont Horizon back in 1984 or so. So maybe the outrageous costume thing is a natural....
