Somebody May Have Tried to Poison a Bunch of Furries With Chlorine Gas

Thousands of people — many dressed as foxes, bears, pandas, and other fuzzy creatures — were evacuated from a suburban Chicago hotel early Sunday morning after a chemical leak that police are investigating as a criminal act.

The leak — of a chlorine-containing gas in the Hyatt O'Hare Regency Hotel — sent 19 people to the hospital, including several attendees at the 15th annual "Midwest FurFest," an animal fandom convention. The hospitalized individuals "complained of nausea and dizziness," the Midwest FurFest organizers explained on their website.

"The Rosemont Police Department determined this was a criminal act and began investigating it as such," the Midwest FurFest statement said. The event is a giant convergence of furry devotees who "come together to celebrate furry fandom, that is, art, literature and performance based around anthropomorphic animals."

Are they sure it wasn't a spontaneous release of methane?

Fixed.

This is beyond disturbing... and not the gassing part!

If she is crying now, wait until she is sent to the glue factory.

[ExCTCitizen]

PETA did it because they don't want humans to dress as animals...

Time for Grissom (from CSI) to investigate. They did a furry episode when a guy dressed as a chipmunk got killed'

[Veto!]

Are furries significantly different from trekkies? Same crowd, different suits?

[Secret Agent Man]

it’s because they like to have perverted sex wearing furry costumes. sickos.

[CtBigPat]

I’m sorry but what the hell is the difference? Seriously I can’t figure it out. OMG help me that I’m trying to figure out.

Bronies like to have fun by dressing up as their favorite character.

Furries are trying to express their "animal spirit".

For the most part it's all in good fun. Evil prefers to wear a business suit.

[nomad]

Are you the guy who posted the link to that disturbing youtube video about the bronies? That thing gave me night-mares.

[OSHA]

I suspect Hudson Bay Company operatives.

That my friend is post of the year material!!!!!!!! I damn near crapped myself from laughing.

(Both getting the joke and crapping myself should give away my age.)

[OSHA]

I suspect that that Ewok lacks any fur whatsoever.

Any man that can pull that link out of his a$$ on the fly has an insanity to be reckoned with.

I bow before you.

Police have named McGruff the Crime Dog as lead investigator...

[GeronL]

That is McGrowl, the flasher dog.... McGruff’s criminal litter-mate

[Cyman]

I saw this on CYE. I thought it a joke.

[Alas Babylon!]

“I smell varmint poontang, and the only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang, I think.”
