According to the New York Post, the trans-species convention attendees received tongue-lashing by netizens.
See the video below:
“I don’t see anyone smelling the tail of others,” said a netizen.
Another added:
"But if they identify as dogs, why do they put on masks?"
A netizen hilariously suggested animal control officers should be brought to deal with the 'canines' and give them rabies shots.
Toco, the Human Collie
In July, Toco took his first walk in public after his transformation into a 'dog'.
In recent updates on his YouTube channel, aptly named 'I want to be an animal,' Toco showcased his remarkable transformation by frolicking on all fours in his backyard and displaying impressive tricks in exchange for treats.
With enthusiasm and dedication, he was taken for a walk on a leash, sniffing and interacting with other dogs at a nearby park.
