Individuals Identifying as Dogs Convene in Berlin, Sparking Calls for Animal Control Measures

An incident which is noted to be quite unusual happened on Tuesday. Around 1,000 individuals who self-identify as canines convened at the railway station of Germany’s Berlin Potsdamer Platz for a meetup. They met with mixed reactions online; some expressed curiosity and support, while others criticized and mocked the participants. 

In the viral video of the meetup, attendees were seen communicating by whistling and barking towards each other.

A user commented that these problems are due to an over-desire to flaunt personalities, orientations, genders, etc. A person should act naturally and identify themselves as human, which is more than enough. 

Another user wrote to call animal control and give them their rabies doses. While a third user said if they identify as dogs, why do they wear masks? 

This unconventional canine gathering happened in the wake of the viral fame of Toco, a human in Japan who acquired a $14,000 hyper-realistic suit and is not living out his lifelong aspiration to become a dog.
