A man is found dead and is still dressed in a Raccoon suit. He's part of a group of people called "Furries"; Nick and Sara look into the murder of a convenience-store employee whose body was discovered in a freezer.
Episode Notes
Here is the TVGuide description of the episode:
"The writers at CSI have come up with some strange and kinky cases to investigate in the past (think the scuba diver in a tree or Lady Heather). But in this truly bizarre episode they've outdone themselves,which makes you wonder: do they have vivid imaginations or does stuff like this really happen? A man dressed in a full raccoon suit becomes roadkill after he's hit by a car on a dark stretch of highway. When Grissom and Catherine arrive, they discover he has also been shot. It turns out the dude is part of a weird group that believes in acting on animal instinct."
The rating for the show is listed as: Suggestive Dialog, Strong, Coarse Language, Explicit Sexual Situations, Violence

I thought this episode was histerical. I couldn't believe that there really was a "Furries" convention, so I looked it up online. THERE IS!!! lol

The person who wrote this script doesn't seem to have any knowledge of us to begin with. He was just trying to make a show. Thats what I think. We aren't like that. If people would get to know us, they would see we are just like them.

The episode was quite intresting to watch, but the way they made the furrys look is disapointing!! All they showed was the night clubs and yiffing and such... It makes furrys look sex crazed!! Lies!! I agree with bluewolf and kitten!! We're not freaks!!!

EXCUSE ME? "Weird group"? You people are all a bunch of ignorant, intolerant morons. Furries are not freaks of any kind. This is just another form of publicly-accepted discrimination. This is so innacurate I have to struggle to keep that pizza down.

This episode had a realistic ring to it. I've heard of "plushies" before. People into wearing fur and acting as animals. I was amazed to see it on TV and so well written. I'm relatively new to the CSi drama series and love it. William Petersen was in "To

LIES!!! ALL LIES!!!!! Furries are not freaks in any way, shape or form. Jerry Stahl should be ashamed of himself for twisting the truth like that. It's a d**n shame he could get away with it!

I loved this episode and because I saw this it has interested me to find out more about those who are Furry. Not to much the sex aspect, doesn't interest me in the bit, but more for the animal aspect. The Furries should that into consideration. Informatio

its an interesting idea but the overall story was a lie because not all furrys are into kinky nightclubs and junk. and so what if some are and who says he even knows anything about furrys? he has no authoritah to make such accusations

This is funny funny funny. I was laughing all the time, even it's a drama, because the poor racoon guy got murdered. I am furry, of course, and I feel myself full represented in this episode. You are doing very well Jerry (Bruckheimer) with this series.

How could they portray us furries like that? I for one am outraged that they think ruining the good name of a perfectly reasonable and decent group of people like us could make

I really loved this episode I thought it was brilliantly written and I just wanted to say that the writers did not generalise and say all Furries are like that, they were part of the 'private party' they also showed the lecture etc. I found it informative

Pro: revealed little things about how furries work and opened people up to go look farther into them.. cons: did not portray a very good show of furries sadly.. but yes, they did say that that particular group was a secluded section

Just to tell you people who thinks furries are freaks, Warner Bros. were furries too. If they weren't furries, there would be no such thing as Bugs Bunny, or anything like that.
No fur conventions in this world are perverted THAT much.

This is total shit. staged, shit. this is not what furries are like. although, some are, but very little are. most furries dont even wear fursuits. For example. all characters that are animals that have human characteristics (anthropomorphic)
are furries
