Unsurprisingly, nobody cared. Those that did care, did so for a little bit while taking a break from laughing their hearts out.
It happened in 2014 at the "Midwest Furfest". (Google should give more pics of this con if you're into that). At around 12:40 a.m. at the Hyatt in Rosemont, police get complaints about a noxious odor on the ninth floor. Within minutes first responders begin taking air samples and measured chlorine levels as 1.4 ppm, increasing drastically to 60 ppm as they got to the west stairwell. In the west stairwell they found a broken glass jar and remnants of white powder and yellow/green liquid on the wall, they collected samples but the results of identifying these were inconclusive due to faulty instruments. It took roughly 2 hours to mark the hotel as safe again and allow people back in after an evacuation.
Media tried to brush this off by claiming this was a gas leak. The Rosemont PD then marked the case closed and did not release any documents or information related to the case.
After everyone had stopped laughing, people started questioning who actually tried to gas those furries, bit nobody cared.
BONUS: Someone tried to do a "serious" news segment about this and it didn't turn out as they wanted it to be.
Inb4 some 4chan hacker googles something and tries to docx me, this post was copied, mostly from an """/r/unresolvedmysteries thread here. In this thread, we have a couple of actual furries who were gassed that night.

I was at this event when it happened, first...2 hours until we got back inside? Nope, more like 4 hours, maybe 4 and half if you left RIGHT as the many lobby alarms went off. (Alarms from 1am onward, I got back inside just before 5am.)

I was at the convention that year and 2015. I have heard from multiple parties that more was discovered and charges may have been filed. The staff of the convention have alway declined to comment or publicly share the outcome of any issue.
