Fear that members of the local furry community could turn savage led organizers of Rocky Mountain Fur Con, typically attended by people dressed in plush animal costumes, to cancel the annual event.

A group called “Furry Raiders” adopted a symbol that consisted of a black paw on a red background. The image reminded other furries — people who dress as fictional animal characters with human personalities — of the Nazi swastika and their objections started the fur flying, convention chairman Zachary Brooks said.

“People overreacted. As it got more and more heated, people started talking about beating up people wearing the symbol,” Brooks said. “They said ‘We’ve got a right to protect ourselves and we are going to bring weapons.'”

The cat fight over the event, scheduled for Aug. 11-13 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center, Brooks said, “caused our security cost to increase to the point that we couldn’t sustain the convention.”

Sponsored by Mid-American Anthropomorphic and Arts Corp., Rocky Mountain Fur Con participants are fans of fiction, art and other media that features fictional animals with human personalities.

When MAAAC’s former CEO sent a cease-and-desist letter to a furry fan following the dispute over the “Furry Raiders,” he included blood-red thumb print as a seal, according to Flayrah, an online news magazine for and by furries.

Maybe it is some post-modern performance art and they choose the furrie community as their audience. Maybe they are just stupid.
