From what I read and saw on twitter, this was no practical false alarm at Midwest FurFest. My heart goes out to all the furries and convention visitors who had to be hospitalized in this sick and unforgivable attack on our community.

But I'm very happy to see that the convention went on and everybody still choose to have fun. This is why I love this fandom. We don't let people decide for us how we should live our lives. We can only be happy if we accept the things we love to do and have fun.

In the wise words of Spock, "Live long and prosper."

May Midwest FurFest live long and prosper for many years.
