The comment I posted to the article:
This article used cursory research at best. Most furries do not dress up at all and are merely fans of animal characters in cartoons, novels, movies, etc. The costumer in Enfield may either have been invited as part of a community event, or was acting against the common sense advice of the rest of furry fandom and is not representative of it. Most costumers, like any performance artists, know not to appear uninvited or to approach anyone, especially children, without supervision, mainly for the costumer's protection from reactionary people.
