The gaggle of furries held the attacker until police arrived

A furry convention was being held in California over the weekend and several members helped save a woman who was being assaulted by her boyfriend.

OK, let’s get the furry part out of the way. According to Psychology Today, “furries are fans… of media that features anthropomorphic animals—that is, animals who walk, talk, and do otherwise human things.” Similarly to Trekkies, Potterheads, or folks that dress as their favorite character for a ComicCon, furries dress in head-to-toe fur. Hey, you like what you like.
