After school officials and the media denied it was happening, photos have now emerged showing ‘furries’ at a middle school in Utah that prompted other students to walk out and stage a protest.
Dozens of students took part in the demonstration at Mt. Nebo Middle School on Wednesday morning after they claimed furries – other children dressing up and acting like animals, were barking at, pouncing on and even biting them.
“They have their little tails, they get down on their hands and knees and they bark at us,” one student at the protest told Conservative radio host Adam Bartholomew.
Others claim they were being sprayed with Febreeze and that school authorities took the side of the furries and told them to just “be nice” and take it.
However, school district spokesperson Seth Sorenson denied the attacks were even happening or that students were dressing up in animal costumes, asserting the claims were wild rumors.
Media outlets then amplified the narrative that the whole thing was just a hoax or a moral panic fueled by inaccurate speculation.
Unfortunately for them, photos have now emerged showing students dressed up as furries exactly as the other children described.
