He looks like somebody larping as a middle school music teacher who totally doesn't molest his students. Like you wouldn't even feel skeeved out because it's too obvious not to be a costume or a bit

Ah, yes. It really isn't a furry convention if you can't score at least ten points playing "spot the subhuman scumbag" with the guest list.

Even if you take into account that not everyone goes to Opening Ceremonies, it still looks highly unlikely they're going to
break 150 attendees.
EDIT: RE: the tortoise. The charity is an animal rescue organization. Of course the tortoise is fucked up because it's a rescue. Christ, sometimes I forget the lack of critical thinking skills exhibited by most furries.

Yep. If you want to be 'fancy' you can get a bit of Quik-Crete or fishing weights to fill the end with for weight. With a thick plastic cup for a mould and some old nails you can make a scrap punk morningstar (with the Quik-Crete).
About 16 inches of scrap pipe is perfect though, cheap and totally disposable.

there is so much salt around this convention, there's already a dedicated twitter for playing up horrible things like oh no they brought a fucked up tortoise in.
it's a tortoise from a rescue shelter. it was probably suffering from malnutrition before anyone in the shelter was even born.

I think that's more for a zombie invasion rather than a furry convention

No. You'd want some kind of warpick or bec de corbin for penetrating the skull. A weighted club or mace would need to crush through the skull completely, it just isn't as efficient for zombies. Works a treat on people in fursuits though, all that plush padding is about equal to a gambison.

They're looking for any excuse to trash the con while avoiding the one obvious critique (the con is too niche for the area so it had low attendance) because it doesn't make the organizers seem evil.

Yeah the tortoise thing... yeah it's fucked up that's why it's a fucking chairity.
Also most cons have dedicated parody accounts but this one is pretty aloggy.

I love how 90% of the "hype" for this convention on twitter is just people hating on it. It's a tiny first-year convention in flyover country. No one would have even known about it if not for all the hate.
As for the animals: yeah, taking them to gatherings does stress them out. But animal rescue organizations do it as an acceptable hit to the animals' wellbeing because it brings a lot more visibility (read: potential donations) to their work. That and they bring only the animals that are most acclimated to strangers. As for the snake in the ballpit, though? That thing is probably having the time of its life. It's an enclosed space it can bury itself in. Snakes love that.

The con has already been justified to them as evil, hence the hate and mockery. but I'd contest the point that they planned on it being "too niche" since they originally planned on being inside Tulsa with a more viable con space for what they were expecting.
so far the con is just boring, a few lolcows are in there but seem to be keeping as much as they can private just so they aren't spotted.
The animal abuse allegations are stupid as fuck. maybe if it was the attendees who were handling them I'd raise an eyebrow, but the charity probably knows what they are doing.

I was checking the replies to that person mad about the tortoise and someone finally said what most of us were thinking (regarding the fucked-up shell, at least).

The tweet they're quote-tweeting is a video posted by the charity in 2015 that shows two bearded dragons fighting:

(full disclosure: I know nothing about bearded dragons, but I'm assuming those two are not happy with each other. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)
On one hand, this seems like fairly hostile behavior between them and they probably shouldn't have been kept together. On the other hand, literally the only evidence anyone seems to have of the charity being neglectful is a seven-year-old video of two lizards fighting.

Yeah, having 2 beardies like that together is usually bad, mostly due to the fighting and something should have been done ASAP in moving one. but still, it would be pointless to try and get them in trouble for that unless they are still doing it.

I'm not defending this charity since I have no idea what they're doing, but I feel it's worth pointing out rescue charities end up biting off more than they could chew very often. Being overcrowded is almost a fact of life for most of them, since otherwise the abandoned animals will usually end up dead in short order. So a lot of them will pick up more animals than they could normally handle if they followed all the relevant procedures to a T.

That fuckwit is really stretching to try and go after that animal rescue group. Between citing a 7 year old tweet and saying there's a long list of concerns...which yeah, apparently there are.
Of course, the most recent shit is 6 years old, apparently.
Admittedly, holy shit...that place seems like it would have been right at home with Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin, looking back at some of how poorly it was run. Yet again...nothing more recent than 2016, so maybe they actually got their shit together.

I dunno if Len is a zoo sadist or a pedo but he is a lolcow. don't forget him with the other lowcows in similar circles.

I think that's more like a dominance thing going on, setting the pecking order and whatnot.
I'd go to this convention tbh, really doesn't look all that bad.
