Dogs are as conscious as human children
Dogs have long been considered property. Though the Animal Welfare Act of 1966 and state laws raised the bar for the treatment of animals, they solidified the view that animals are things — objects that can be disposed of as long as reasonable care is taken to minimize their suffering.
But now, by using the M.R.I. to push away the limitations of behaviourism, we can no longer hide from the evidence. Dogs, and probably many other animals (especially our closest primate relatives), seem to have emotions just like us. And this means we must reconsider their treatment as property.Presuming in the future more studies support this finding, it would firstly give many a way of understanding the special relationship dog owners have with their canine, but it would also bring questions on the nature of their relationship. Already I’ve said dog-owner; one might suppose they are actually their guardians.

Control Those Animals!
How about that Fur Fright?
Ignoring all of what went down last year (Dorsai, hurricane, fire alarm), who's excited for this year? Who's gonna be there? Should we arrange an unofficial meet-up?

Finally Found You - Duke Feat. Bucktown Tiger
Control Those Animals!
Jordan Reickek is an animator and storyboard artist with a long and storied career to his name: He worked on the original Ren & Stimpy series as well as The Simpsons early on; he directed the pilot episode of Invader Zim for Nickelodeon; and he worked on storyboards for DreamWorks films like Monsters vs Aliens, Megamind, and Kung Fu Panda. Cartoon Brew recently interviewed Jordan, and he spoke about his newest creation: Animal Control, which he produced for Cartoon Network Asia. The series follows the adventures of a pair of hapless and not-too-bright game wardens as they try to keep a lid on the silliness of their animal charges. The premier episode is up on Vimeo as well. Recently Jordan re-launched his production web site, Perky Pickle, which includes production art from many of the projects he’s worked on over the years.

Does anyone know where I can learn to draw this type of art?
I have just recently discovered The Furry Fandom, and it's pretty cool. Where can I learn to draw my own art?

PSA: /r/furryjerk is a thing that exists.
Now that /r/furry has over 9000 readers, I want in on that sweet subscriber action.
/r/furryjerk is a place to playfully satirize the furry fandom and some of the silly things we commonly say and do.
- Tenth post you've read today about yarntails?
- Favorite artist offering a $250 YCH, no piercings no markings no hair no hybrids no crits no fun slender build canines only?
- Tired of those filthy mundanes pondering the vocalizations of vulpes vulpes (which you already know, you cheeky devil)?
TOTALLY the right place for you and anyone else you can convince to click that subscribe button. This subreddit will be SO GREAT, you guys, just: WOW.
It's also a sandbox for me to fuck around with CSS, so expect things to look just, WOW, so amazing. What are you waiting for??? /r/furryjerk /r/furryjerk /r/furryjerk
