That depends on where the conventions is and what ime of year it is.
No, it is not.
Oklacon is a well known furry con in Oklahoma, USA.
A furry convention (also furry con or fur con) is a formal gathering of members of the furry fandom — people who are interested in the concept of fictional non-human characters with human characteristics. These conventions provide a place for fans to meet, exchange ideas, transact business and engage in entertainment and recreation centered on this concept.
To protect them from the cold.
I believe it's a sort of fandom word. "The Furries" are people who dress up as different animals and go to conventions each year (sort of like star wars conventions). I know of the furry convention Anthrocon. These "furry" fanatics get together and create "furclans" i guess.
Because its dead.
they eat bannanas
YES!!! We love having you guys there! Lots of times, regular people outnumber the number of furries at the conventions. Go in and have a look around! Most conventions are completely family friendly and have lots of fun and interesting people to meet!
because they are furry
A jacket, and a furry companion; preferably a woman who hasn't shaved in a while.
Language conventions are language conventions
This is completely up to personal preference. Some of them certainly do, and others don't so much. For those who enjoy it, but find embarrassment in the general public, a very good place to wear such things are furry conventions. The "furry-to-not" ratio is dramatically tilted, and they won't find as much negative attention.
