Hahaha, LOL. What brought this on??

I'd seriously like to know this too. Dead dogs out of left field! I've been to a good number of anime cons and I've never seen people parading around with dead animals! I've seen some odd things but not THAT odd.

I've got nothing against furries. They're a pretty cool bunch. But that dead dog comment was just...ugh. DX

Please tell me this isn't some new trend that I've been oblivious about, I don't want carrying taxidermy animals at a con to be a new trend!

I don't know while some folks like that sort of thing, I just find it creepy after awhile. Especially since the eyes have to be replaced. I shudder.

I'm with Nina and the gang. THAT was disgusting on so many levels that it's unbelievable. Taking dead dogs to an anime convention? WHAT were these people thinking!?!?!

If those were dead puppies I would say they were cosplaying Lennie from Of Mice and Men. Hmmmm... wait, thats still in bad taste.

Anyone who would think they could get away with that in any public space is barking up the wrong tree.

Yes, this is a thing. Reminds me of a Princess Mononoke cosplay where the person dressed as Yakul was just inside a dead antelope

I think it would be a requirement at a Scrubs con (if there ever was one). Fans of the show would know what I'm talking about.

Cue fantastical daydream sequence.
