I've seen people walk around with ears and tails before. Guess security decided to crack down on it.
^It's supposed to be costumes in general. But's only really "enforced" during HoS. (I use the term enforced super loosely as I've seen any number of kids and teens and even some adults in costume at HoS.) Ears and tails are seen as costumes, most likely.
I don't know. I'm just laughing really hard at the idea that somebody said being a furry is a religion.

Is there a furry Jesus? Is he the son of Dog?
"OTHER FURRIES BEWARE THAT BUSCH GARDENS DOES NOT SUPPORT OUR WAY OF LIFE!!!"
Oh no, imagine the tens of people that won't visit the park now.

I find it very odd that this person expected people to care about the situation at all. Like Joe said, the other 10 people on the planet that play 'dress up' furry fashion would be the only ones remotely interested in the debacle. BG gets enough flack over their bunny trail, no need to add salt to the wound as far as they're concerned.
I don't see how the collar or ears are a big deal. I can see the tail being a potential safety issue, both for the wearer and for others. Multiple aspects of operational safety rely on the assumption that the human to be protected has not tied an easily snagged 3-foot cloth appendage to one of the few parts of their body they can not see under almost any circumstance.
And I can see how the park may object to a guest coming in looking like an arbitrary costumed character. Kids and slower adults will be confused.
What I just can't see, even as a completely nonreligious person, is any reasonable individual claiming equal status with Catholicism at an amusement park simply because s/he wears an ASTM-F24-noncompliant costume everyday and finds special personal meaning in doing so. By that standard, my diet soda habit is a spiritual experience entitling me to special exemption from the food and drink rules at every TSA checkpoint.

Wow. So a lot of those responses are just cruel.
I guess it really comes down to what constitutes a "costume." Since Kings Dominion sells tails all over their park, and Disney practically requires that guests wear ears, I don't really but the "safety" theory.
I think this is the problem with vague policies that are inconsistently enforced. This kind of call really shouldn't be left to the individual security guard, in my opinion: It is too easy to step into legal and social minefields.

I'm not even going to give my two cents considering I can't stand people wearing sweatpants and pajama bottoms to the park...
I started out thinking this was just a big crazy joke. Now, after looking at that FB link, I think it's a really sad big crazy joke.
No question this young lady is a few crayons short of a box and I do not agree that her lifestyle qualifies as a religion. HOWEVER, none of that justifies what some of those people were saying. I counted twice that people called for her to die, in rather unfortunate detail. Incidentally I reported both comments, because I'm an asshole like that.
I should point out that I believe this is another example of BGW security over reach.
They do not make me feel safe or secure in any way. In fact I find myself feeling LESS secure when they are around.

This girl is living in a fair....TAIL if the thinks it's normal to dress like that.
