Robodeer catch poachers off guard

Fursday - Watch List - Thu 12 Dec 2013 - 04:00

Warning: If taxidermy upsets you, you probably wanna skip this.

An interesting use of taxidermy which isn't just decorative but functional, in this case catching poachers and opportunists hunting out of season. Though who's to say you couldn't also use it for decorative purposes? Add a bit of life to your wild garden with animal models that move.

Wouldn't surprise me if there were mixed views in the fandom towards the ethics of hunting, but this quote does stand out for me in the interview with Brian Wolslegel, owner of Custom Robotic Wildlife, who explained the difference between poaching and hunting:

Hunting is a good sport. It's a circle of life and we become part of that circle. We're helping animals become healthier and herds become healthier. Poachers normally will take a trophy animal; the bigger buck, leaving the smaller, more inferior bucks to breed the does. The less the poaching is, we'll have a better herd population and a better antler population.

The Dawn Chapel

Fursday - Links - Thu 12 Dec 2013 - 04:00

Beautiful watercolour illustrations by Root, many of which form short stories.

In their words

Hi! Thank you for reading The Dawn Chapel, I’m pretty excited that you’d want to! I started doing this comic in the fall of 2009, with the objective of just doing a comic page a week to try to teach myself how to tell stories visually and see if I could keep a regular update schedule.

I'm new to fursuits, could i get some advice?

Furry Reddit - Thu 12 Dec 2013 - 01:25

I went to Anthrocon last year and absolutely loved it. So now I would like to get a fursuit of my own. However, I have no friends with experience in this so I turn to you reddit.

Dear reddit, What are some problems you face? Is heat a super big problem? Do you ever use your suit for things other then cons? Who would you suggest I purchase mine through? Any tall folks, is it harder to get a suit if you're abnormally tall? Thanks folks!

Last few days on my holiday sale of Fleece Animal Hats! Until 12/15

Furry Reddit - Wed 11 Dec 2013 - 22:23

Just a few more days and my BIG HOLIDAY BLOWOUT SALE of all of premade animal hats will come to a close. I still have a large supply of Fox, Cat, Mouse and other animal hats available for GUARANTEED (barring forces out of my control) Christmas delivery to the continental USA. Sale ends 12/15. Use the coupon code "ROCKMYHOLIDAYSOCKS" for an additional $2 off! Note that the sale is only for the premade hats listed on sale. Also I dont think I can handle anymore made to order hats (I"ve amassed a very long list I"m working on) in time for Christmas delivery but I will try my hardest if you want and my holiday coupon code will work until the 15th. Thankyou all so much for taking a look! Its really helping me get through the holidays! :D http://www.etsy.com/shop/fleecedragon

Well, since I still can't announce my dragon kickstarter's last day on FA, I'll do it here.

Furry Reddit - Wed 11 Dec 2013 - 18:32

I'm kind of irritated, as I know there were at least a couple of people who'd mentioned they would like to back it who haven't yet, so I was counting on the last call announcement to remind them, and now I have no way to reach them in time. But I guess that's life! It's not as though the project hasn't funded already.

I figured a few of my FA watchers might also be here, so it wouldn't hurt to post in hopes of catching one or two of those folks.

Here's the link to the kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1285575774/dragon-bjd-ball-pet

Maybe I'll luck out and FA will be back up before it ends tomorrow, but I don't think I can count on it!
