Abandoned cats and dogs roam Fukishima
Author: GreenReaper
Judging by compensation payouts, almost 50,000 households were affected by evacuations from the vicinity of the Fukushima I nuclear power plant – not counting those who died in the tsunmai. Many kept pets, and were forced to leave them behind when the call to leave came.
The animals are now trying to survive on what they were left or can scavenge from the area. Reports of a breeder’s pack of shelties in Minamis?ma led to a rescue mission, but many fled.
Local cats are also affected. While some have been fed and rescued, others found their own food (note: graphic imagery). [furryne.ws: 1, 2]

Self-Professed Furry Charged With Xbox Live Child Abuse
Richard Kretovic aka Formic Hivemind
Via Kotaku [Tip: BlaiddWolfe and FrostBight]
A 19-year-old from Greece, New York, that identifies himself on Xbox Live as a “homosexual furry” has been arrested and charged for allegedly sexually abusing a boy under the age of 13 he met while playing on Xbox Live.
According to authorities, Richard Kretovic, who goes by the Xbox Live gamertag Formic Hivemind met his alleged victim while playing games on Xbox Live. Upon discovering that the alleged victim was also a resident of Greece, Kretovic set up a meeting. It was during this meeting that police say he sexually abused the young boy.
The boy’s mother, suspecting her child had been sexually abused, contacted authorities. Their investigation led them directly to Kretovic. He is being charged with first-degree criminal sexual act and endangering the welfare of a child. Police say the child is “making adjustment but doing well.”
Formic Hivemind was last seen on Xbox Live playing Halo: Reach on April 15. A quick search of Xbox.com revealed his profile, in which the following bio was written.
You’re my Number One, Kogi. I’ll always love you… BTW, I’m a homosexual furry.

Why Furries Are The Happiest People On Earth

“A trio of researchers from the National University of Singapore — Kenneth Tai, Xue Zheng and Jayanth Narayanan — concludes that ‘touching a teddy bear mitigates the negative effects of exclusion,’ leading to increased levels of cooperative, helpful behavior. They report the stuffed animal seems to have ‘specific psychological significance as a source of comfort and positive feeling,’ brightening the mood of those who are otherwise feeling ostracized.“
Editors note: This research was done with teddy bears – I don’t see that it could not apply to any plush toy.
