Furries at Brookfield Zoo?
So I work at Brookfield Zoo near Chicago, and when I was there yesterday I couldn't help but notice the dozens of fursuiters flooding in the front entrance! I was so excited but I was working and I didn't have my camera with me to take pictures. Were any of you guys there yesterday? Surely at least one was a redditor.

Did 'Avatar' rip off a Swedish furry novel from the '70s? (Plus: Germans like cat detectives)

Trying to learn how to maintain consistency in characters and scenery for my webcomic-any suggestions are appreciated! (from r/FurryArtSchool)
Colorful Bears, Coming to Save Your World
In case anyone needs a refresher: The Care Bears were created in 1981 by American Greetings (originally for greeting cards, of course), and eventually starred in their own TV series and animated movies (produced by Nelvana) before they went on to conquer the world of tie-in marketing entirely. Well now the entirety of that original animated series is available in a -DVD box set (!) called Care Bears: The Original Series Collection. “The lovable bears of Care-a-lot, Cheer, Share, Harmony, and all their bear buddies with unique belly badges and a caring mission have been delighting fans for 30 years! Whether it1s learning the value of friendship, helping someone in need, or using their special powers to brighten up the day, the adorable Care Bears are always ready for caring, sharing, and giving goodness!” The set is available now from Miramax/Lionsgate.
Furry Para-sailing
I'm planning to go to Saranac Lake in New York next year in the summer and decided to bring a fursuit. by then I will have completed said fursuit and have an extra mounting camera. Saranac is a Christian camp where there are literally no rules. I will get to go para-sailing, kayaking, and hang out at raves almost every night. does it sound like a good idea? There will be over 500 douchebags from highschool crawling all over, so I was thinking about abandoning the project. Plus furries are looked down upon by some Christians.

Short film: ‘Typesetter Blues’
Is It Legal to Record Someone in Public without Permission?
I'm writing this in class so I don't have time to write too much, Papabear. At the end of school last year, I nearly broke my ankle doing a shuffle dance on the last day of school. Someone recorded my pain and they put it on YouTube. I recently found out about this, and found the video. I found a way to track the IP address of the user, so that I may find out exactly who this is, and may notify the police, and possibly sue the person who did this. Things like this have, as I told you in my last letter, gone on for much too long, and I think it's time to strike back.
Is it legal for me to track the person's IP, first of all? And will I have grounds for a lawsuit if I can identify the uploader?
I think I'm finally ready to do this and stand up for myself , and I just need those questions answered before I do. Thank you in advance for your advice.
Sincerely, Kodachi Devil Squirrel (KodaDS)

Dear Kodachi,
This is an excellent question in today’s YouTube nutty world, and thank you for writing about it. The short answer to your question is: you can sue people for anything, but in this case you will not win. Why is that? Because you were taped in a public place, and according to my legal consultant, the courts have ruled repeatedly in such cases that when you are in a public place you have “no reasonable expectation of privacy.” This is why you can turn on the TV and see videos of people walking into mall water fountains while on their cell phones.
What you CAN do is contact YouTube and ask them to remove the video because it was posted without your permission. They might or might not do that for you, I don’t know.
The situation would be different if you were, say, in your bedroom and someone videotaped you doing something silly or embarrassing in private.
A note to all those video-happy furries out there who like to record stuff: it is always best to get a signature on a waiver form from people you record before you post them in a public forum, such as YouTube. This covers your furry butt from possible legal action, especially in the case of recording minors.
We are living in a peeping Tom world, folks, where everyone is armed with a tiny recording device everywhere you go. Just something to keep in mind, everyfur.
As for as tracing someone's IP address, sure, that is analogous to researching and finding someone's mailing address. Nothing illegal about it, as long as it doesn't go further than that, such as using that information to try and access computer files.
Hugs,
Papabear
