It’s been nearly three months since we first wrote about Tony the Tiger’s little furry problem, and it looks like the object of so many fuzzy affections has finally taken action. According to hordes of furious furry Twitter accounts, Tony the Tiger is on the purge.

If you’ll recall, when we last left Tony, furries were propositioning him for all sorts non-cereal related fun. Most likely, as Gawker Editor-in-Chief Alex Pareene said at the time, this is because “Tony is pretty buff and athletic.”

But for whatever reason, Tony has had quite enough. And Twitter’s furry masses are pissed.

Yes, Tony. As “stray dog strut” so eloquently said, “Get with the times, or get left behind.”
