Keep the Furry Pole of Nottingham


Keep the Furry Pole of Nottingham
The Issue
The Furry Sticker Pole of Nottingham started as but another pole that people put stickers on. Over time, the furry fandom has left a wonderful collection of colourful stickers on said pole, to the point where one individual has successfully added the location to Google Maps, marking the spot as a tourist attraction.
For context, furries are a collection of people who express themselves through anthropomorphic animal characters, similar to mascots.
The furry fandom - just like any other fandom - consists of these individuals that share the same hobbies, passions, or in this case, way of self-expression.
The reason behind this petition is to go directly against Sean Baker's petition that calls for the "Removal of the Furry Pole Nottingham", which threatens to remove this wonderful landmark and piece of culture and self-expression from the city of Nottingham.
It must be noted that the stickers placed do not hinder anyone's ability to perceive the sign in any way, The stickers are much like any other stickers you'd see around city centre, with the key difference being that the stickers depict a colourful character instead of other things.
For example, my area is full of greyscale stickers with politically charged messages - replacing these with more colourful, cartoon-like stickers brings a hint of colour to the city, which it desperately needs.
Let us unite to bring colour to my dull, grey city, and save the cultural landmark of the Furry Sticker Pole!
