Schools are allowing children to identify as cats, horses and dinosaurs - and teachers are 'failing to question them', it was claimed today.

There was widespread outrage earlier this week when a 13-year-old girl was branded 'despicable' by her teacher for rejecting her classmate's claim that she identified as a cat.

Now further stories are emerging of pupils who identify as animals with very human characteristics - often known as 'furries'.
