Did you even read the page it linked to?  AnimalCon was held in early March.  It wasn't a BIG con, but it was a con nonetheless. The page is hosted on the same website as Umgotts Studios, which is what paid for the event. --[[User:S.Gatsby|S.Gatsby]]

Is this a hoax?

I'm going to have to question whether this convention actually existed or not.

  • First, I tried Googling for 'animalcon' and 'mexico' and could not find any matches.
  • Second, searching for animalcon.org and animalcon.com on The Wayback Machine failed to turn up anything.
  • Third, I checked the status of those domain names with WHOIS, and neither domain name is registered. I suppose other domain names could have been used, but I find it odd that the two most likely ones weren't used, and show no signs of having ever been used.

I tried every data and word combo, and the only match I get is for "animal Control." Maybe the user can provide more data so we can expand on it. Even gone, with the site's name we can use the Wayback Machine to pull some info for this entry. Spirou 03:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Concur spd, no proof of existence. Also tried many other search engines but still not found. -- DeVandalizer 19:01, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I think this is bogus

I Googled for "animalcon", and the first 4 matches I found were from these "Umgotts Destroy" / "OMGWTF! Furries" people. The 5th was an LJ post from Slimgatsby, the guy who created this article.

Going to the con's "website" (http://www.umgotts.com/ac/index.html) only brings up a single page, with advertisements for Slimgatsby's videos. I don't see anything much in the way of supporting evidence that comes from anyone else.

Quite frankly, I think the contents of this entire article of nothing more than fiction created by its author, in an attempt to try and sell his movies. Allowing this article to remain would do a disservice to the Wiki and as such, I think it should be deleted. --Douglas Muth 05:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
