A fight broke out at a Furries rally when a man was caught filming members of the group on a California beach.
Two people in black wolf costumes got into an altercation in Huntington Beach on Saturday after a man who was recording them refused to leave — some commentators suggested he is a scorned ex-lover of one of the participants.
The incident, which was captured on video, took place during a ‘furmeet’ at Sunset Beach Bonfire where hundreds of Furries were at full strength.
It seemed to start after a man was filming the group and had his phone in the face of a member who warned him to leave.
The man in the furry costume then hit him on the head with a megaphone before being tackled to the ground by another person. A second furry jumped to his friend’s aid and they continued to struggle with the sand.

Two people in black wolf costumes got into an altercation in Huntington Beach on Saturday after a man who was recording them refused to leave
The incident, which was captured on video, took place during a ‘furmeet’ at Sunset Beach Bonfire where hundreds of Furries were at full blast.
In the clip, the furry in the black wolf costume can be seen using a megaphone to yell at the man who answers, “Get out or we’ll make you leave.”
He then adds ‘you can let this go’ before suddenly hitting the man, wearing a black t-shirt, jeans and cap, in the shoulder with the amplifying device.
The furry then punches him in the head before another beachgoer, wearing a white T-shirt and blue shorts, tackles him to the ground.
A second furry in a similar costume gets involved in the altercation and the four men continue to struggle on the sand in front of stunned onlookers.
Others try to break up the fight and one person tells them all to “chill out.”
The man who was recording the group before the fight is heard yelling “oh my god” as he lies on the floor.
He’s still filming and says to the camera, “This is what Furries does to you.”
The furry, who threw himself into the fight, is seen without his head mask on and yells, “You’re being charged with assault,” before telling a woman to “f*** off.”
He is then led away from the scene. The man in the middle of the altercation is still on the floor and is seen holding his head as another hairy man with a gray tail checks on him.

“Why am I the one who got beaten up,” he says. “I need stitches.”
The hairy man checks the man’s injuries and someone is heard to say “call 911” before the injured man tries to get up and yells “I’m going to sue you until you’re out of life.” But he is reluctant.
One of the fighting Furries comforts the man she was recording, saying, “Idiot bastards did this…spread rumors leading up to this.”
“F*** you people.”
In a separate clip, police officers are seen arresting one of the fighting Furries, who is heard to say, “I’m not resisting.”
A person in the crowd adds, “They didn’t do anything wrong.”
It’s not clear how the feud started, but there have been online claims of power struggles within the Furries community.
The man’s recording was said to have been banned from the event, but showed up anyway and was asked to leave by a member of staff before the situation escalated.

Furries are people who dress up as animals and identify as the chosen animal, often as a sexual fetish.

The Furry fandom started in the 1980s, with the first Furries seen as far back as 1983, but it became firmly established in the mid-1990s.
Most fans get into the furry scene through a fondness for anthropomorphic animals, such as those seen in Disney movies and video games, by creating animal avatars for themselves online.
Each animal represents a different personality. Fox Furries are cunning or mischievous, dogs are fun types and cats are for people who want to be seen as aloof.
It has spread all over the world and regular meetings are held monthly for those who want to get together.
