Over 10,000 furries take over the streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as part of Anthrocon 2023, one of the world's largest anthropomorphic conventions. Held this year between June 29 and July 2, the gathering celebrates the furry subculture, a community of people who dress up or roleplay as animal characters. "What's so special about this place is that it is a bunch of people that are like-minded like myself. So that way, I can be around people that are like me," says Andrew Blizzard, who drove from Connecticut to attend the event. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
