Inconsistencies[]

  1. The article describes the plot of "Fur". T. R. Holt and Brad Donnelly are both victims of animal attacks and Suzanna Donnelly plans to return home to Tallahassee.
  2. The paper says it was released on Thursday but the date provided should be a Saturday. Multiple issues of the Herald have this inconsistency.
