    Can’t wait to see the reporting on the fallout from this, if it goes forward.

    Bureaucratic backlash from department heads at Animal Control, and whichever state administration or department that their chain of authority ultimately flows down from.

    Overzealous Animal Control officer who assaults a child that a school administrator called in for pickup.

    Mass student protests of dozens of kids going to school as furries

    And that’s just a few off the top of my head. The possibilities are endless.

      Mass student protests of dozens of kids going to school as furries

      This sounds like the kind of protest id participate in when I was in school. As a parent I’d totally wear a fur suit to pick up my kids as a form of protest

        For real, shit-disturbing teenage me would have immediately flipped from “furries are dumb and weird” to “what’s the minimum requirement to count as a furry” as soon as I found out that animal control would have to pick us up.

        The thought of an old-school dog catcher chasing me with a net while I ran away wearing floppy dog ears is just too amazing to pass up.

        What about a fish. Could I be a fish? Oh, what a time to be grown up and with kids of my own instead of being able to be a ridiculous jackass.
