No Fursuiting In Austria Now
« on: October 21, 2017, 11:31:09 am »
A law meant to ban the burqa in Austria was expanded to include all face coverings so as to not be discriminatory. It just went into effect and is having unintended consequences. A number of mascots have been arrested and fined 150 Euros each for violating the new law.

"The coyote is a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry. He is always poor, out of luck, and friendless. The meanest creatures despise him. And even the fleas would dessert him for a velocipide."~Mark Twain

So how exactly does this affect parades and festivals where people dress up in costumes and may have their faces covered? Going to ban those too?  >:(  MAGA used to stand for Make America Great Again. Now it stands for Morons Are Governing Austria.

More importantly, it bans the burqa. Absolutely absurd.
