I’m always willing to offer a helping hoof to any on the community and especially ones that are in the same realm as Bronyville. Equestria Daily ran a news article a few days back about the Diamond Dogs Podcast. Going to give those guys the customary first listen and the ED patrions seem to agree that the second episode is better. Here’s to hoping the same for us.
Oh, and DD guys. We’re the Big Macintosh to your Applejack. We did post several days before you. Just sayin’.

A group of teenagers dressed as Easter bunnies were turned away from a zoo – amid fears they would ‘psychologically damage’ the animals.
Cancer-sufferer Laura Gibson, 15, and her friends were told to change out of their costumes before entry into Edinburgh Zoo in case they upset the creatures.
The trip had been planned as a special treat for the teen, who was joined by friends Hannah, Kirsty and Becki Nicholson and her brother Cameron, who was dressed as a chicken.

The next project for Anthony Bell (director of last year’s Alpha and Omega) is an animated film called Norm of the North. It stars Rob Schneider (Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo) as the voice of Norm, a polar bear who (along with his lemming friends) ends up in New York City, “where Norm becomes the mascot of a corporation he soon learns is tied to the fate of his homeland”. The writers, Daniel and Steven Altiere, have previously written several furry-themed direct-to-video sequels, including Scooby Doo! The Mystery Begins and Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts. Now in post-production, Norm of the North is set for release by Lionsgate Films in 2012.
Furrit, How would you describe furry culture to people who think furries are just people who have sex in animal suits?
I'm coming out as a furry to my friends and I'm honestly having a hard time describing what the furry culture is, beyond fursuits and sex. I'd really appreciate some advice, maybe some stories of your own, or anything else that would help me explain the culture better. Thank you much.

Toonces reads “Chitchester Gap” by Sedric & Skip reads “Vignette from the Highway” by Lycanthromancer
Author: toonces
The term fantasy is flexible. A person can fantasize about an ice cream cone or about an alien landscape, something anywhere between arm’s reach and infinite light years away. It can refer to something as benign as the elusive or as striking as the impossible. Sedric‘s “Chitchester Gap” attempts to bridge the two in a compact, pulpy package featuring doppelgangers getting it on in a library and defiling a piece of classic literature. Characteristically short, we felt the story worked best with a companion to add a little meat for our commuting readers. So Skip is also reading for us “Vignette of the Highway” by Lycanthromancer.

New Student Film: Furry
The film “Furry” is by Lindsey Batdorf, who wrote, directed and edited the project. Furry is a 20-minute comedy that was produced at Ringling College of Art and Design, as her senior thesis project.
The film is about Ryan Wetherby, a 23-year-old illustrator who is obsessed with his childhood wolf character named Kitsu. He finally has an opportunity to get together with the girl of his dreams, a co-worker named Emily. He faces a dilemma, however: should he tell Emily about his furry obsession, or should he hide it from her? It doesn’t help that his “out-and-proud” furry friend, Terry, is always looking to convert new people to the fandom!
We asked Lindsey about her experience with the fandom:
As far as my experience with the fandom goes, I learned about the furry lifestyle from my past college roommate. She had a tigress character that was her “fursona” and she loved to draw Sonic the Hedgehog art. I investigated further, and I found that beneath the negative rep it gets from the media, the furry fandom is a nerdy yet fun-loving community of nice folks. This was only proven to me further when I went to Anthrocon 2010 and met a lot of incredibly friendly furries!
Trailer for my thesis film, Furry. Produced at Ringling College of Art and Design.

Author: AshMCairo
The shooting of more than 23,000 rabbits in New Zealand during a charity hunting event held over the Easter vacation weekend has drawn fire from animal welfare campaigners.
While organizers of the annual Great Easter Bunny Hunt, held across the southern region of New Zealand’s South Island, argued the event was ridding farmland of an introduced, rampant pest species, welfare group Safe saw things differently, the Sunday Star-Times reported.
Safe director Hans Kriek said the event promoted the killing of animals in a “party atmosphere.”
“It’s seen as a party atmosphere, sending people out as inexperienced hunters blasting away at animals,” he said. “The ones they kill are one thing, the ones they injure are another.”
Hunt spokesman Dave Ramsay said the rabbit problem was at its worst in the region for 20 years, and the annual event raised thousands for local charities.
In total 47 teams — with 12 shooters each — from all over New Zealand took part, Ramsay told The Otago Daily Times.
Although the event only carries total prize money of NZ$ 3,500 (US$ 2,800), the most sought-after prize was the trophy for the team which shoots the greatest number of rabbits, he said.

Author:
PALMETTO, Fla. (AP) — A Tampa-area woman found an unwelcome weekend guest in her bathroom – a 7-foot alligator.
Alexis Dunbar says she screamed and the alligator hissed when she found it inside the bathroom of her home Saturday afternoon. Her boyfriend propped a small table by the bathroom to keep the gator inside until an officer from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission showed up to take him away.
Dunbar believes the alligator used a doggie door on the back porch to get inside the house. Dunbar lives in Palmetto, which is south of St. Petersburg.
Spring is mating season for alligators and wildlife officials urge people to be extremely cautious, especially around water.
