The proposed bill banning "furries" and related behaviors from schools suggests animal control would be called if parents don't retrieve students.

    Oh you have no idea how far that rumor spread. School systems had to issue public denials. One not that far from me did-

      There were apparently some schools that had cat litter around because children can’t go to toilets during school shooting lockdowns, which is terrible in its own way.

        I think that’s also made up propaganda. Kitty litter is used by janitorial staff basically everywhere (at least in the US) to clean up vomit and other semi-wet solids. Children are prolific pukers so it’s not surprising that basically every school has a bunch of kitty litter in their janitorial closets.

          And maybe, just maybe, the school has some cats that hang around. One of the teachers at my high school had a classroom cat.

      That link explained what a fury is using the word “fursona.” 😂

      Also, thank you. I guess that rumor has to come from somewhere. Though the redirect for the article of where the tumor came from was behind a pay wall.
