"Rennie" Geek Lesson:
The tails are worn with Garb (1) at Rennaissance Faires and are actually a Rennie (2) tradition. If you research "Rennie" culture and customs, you'll see that most Rennies have at least one tail that they pair with their Garb. If you're wearing them with normal clothes, though, then yes, you're crazy! lol.
1 - Garb: Period appropriate attire (or costumes) worn by avid Renaissance Festival playtrons (aka "Rennies") and participants (Ex: King Richard, The Bellydancers, Jousting Knights, etc) while in attendance at any given Faire.
2 - Rennie: A person who is not actually employed by the Renaissance Faire that they attend, and is in no way compensated or rewarded for dressing up in Garb while at a Faire. Rennies are people who are usually History buffs, Sci Fi Nerds, etc, and love to dress as Pirates, Gypsies, Historically-accurate Nobility, etc. Rennies usually camp at the Faires they attend (TRF is the best example), and have huge bonfires with active loud music, dancing, and an overabundance of alcohol (including "Loki" which is a Rennie drink- basically any flavor imaginable mixed with Everclear)
- I, for example, have a pirate outfit (corset, skirt, daggers, flintlock, boots and hat)and wear a fox tail on my belt in the back (moreso to keep my skirt from flying up in the wind!), along with my flask of Rum
I have a few friends that like wearing more than one tail, but for me, more than one is tacky.
So yeah..
There's your geek lesson of the day

Wow,
Yeah, that's nuts. I agree, their parents need to step in and do something or even get professional (mental) help. This sounds like it could definitely lead to violent acts; if animals have already been killed, what's to keep them from moving on to people next?
If they were just being emo kids and dressing weird (which is normal for Emos anyway..guys in girl pants, girls looking like guys with unisex haircuts), I'd say no harm no foul; but this doesn't sound like it's in any way "harmless", at least in the more extreme cases mentioned...
((But regarding my first post: I don't want these kids to be confused with Rennies...Rennies are people who just like to party at Faires and drink and wear Renaissance Festival garb with maybe a tail as part of the costume - Rennies are not Emo kids who kill animals and pretend to be anything, wolves included! ))

I agree. If it's not hurting anyone, then who cares? Kids usually look stupid or fall for crazy fads; it's just part of that point in their life. I tried the Goth/Punk thing for a long time and hung out with all the Skaters; but we didn't do drugs or hurt anyone/thing. I look back now and go, "Dude! (lol) I looked so stupid!" but at the time, it was just a way to try and fit in with a group of possibly likeminded people. That time in your life is so awkward; it's just a matter of trying to doggy paddle upstream and keep your head above water until you finally grow up and learn to be yourself and a confident adult.
But..to be clear: the kids who cut up animals and carry around skulls - mental help needed. The other kids who didn't do anything wrong - weird, but I can sympathize with their situations and think for the most part, they're alright.

I think this goes beyond a "stage," this is really just a result of pure stupidity in the highest form. I totally understand that teenagers go through phases, but this is just rediculous.
I'm sorry but this is nowhere near normal, and the fact that people/parents actually consider this just a "stage" their going trough is the reason why our society is getting increasingly worse with every generation.
By the way, I am 23 with NO kids, and strongly feel that the lack of physical and mental discipline in today's society is why there are so many psycho's running around doing incredibly crazy/dumb ****....

thats so fucked up. she probably lured that poor dog with some pupperoni and stabbed it with one of those shitty chinese made ninja swords you get from carnies. people like that must have severe emotional problems, and are likely sociopaths. may as well lock her up now
