Get ShareaholicSPCA investigates slaughter of 100 Whistler sled dogs
The “execution-style” mass cull of 100 sled dogs owned by Whistler-based Outdoor Adventures has sparked an SPCA investigation into allegations of animal cruelty, outrage from animal welfare groups and suspension by Tourism Whistler of reservations for dog sledding excursions by the company.
The cull came to light because of a successful WorkSafeBC claim for post-traumatic stress by the employee who killed the dogs over two days last April.

Everyman or hero? Scott J. Fox

Everyman or Hero?
Scott J. Fox
Written By: Kamden G. Blackstone
We all know the story. ThunderRoo was tricked and held against his will by his parents. I can only hope they meant well, but were misguided. And Scott J. Fox, a normal, everyman decides to act and help his friend by liberating him from the paternal kidnappers. I don’t really need to re-hash it again. I am not here to do this. I am here to talk about Scott J. Fox. A man the furry fandom has decided to deem as a hero amongst furries.
The term everyman is used in literature to describe a person like everyone else. And I will use this term to describe Scott, because he is like everyone else. I personally believe that at the end of the day, anyone is a normal person, there is nothing that is really special about them, unless they choose to do something remarkable. It is what we do that makes us remarkable, and sets us apart from the masses as heroes or villains. This is one of those choices that made an everyman, no greater then you or I, into a hero.
I have known Scott Fox for some time, and he has been someone that I considered my friend, so getting to do this interview is something that I literally jumped at the opportunity to do. However, I had to put my personal biases for the individual aside and interview Scott as a normal person, not my friend, and certainly not a hero. He would be treated like I strive to treat anyone else, just like a normal person. I must apologize that the interview is not recorded from the audio word for word, this being my first long distance interview, the audio recording is hard to decipher, but I will be able to convey the basic gist of the interview here.
The thing that stuck me the most about this interview with Scott, was the nervousness in his voice. He seemed to be fidgety while he talked to me about this. Often times restating in many different ways his opinions on the questions asked. He even admitted that he wasn’t used to the attention and “how it seemed to come out of nowhere, I really didn’t know how to handle that.” He then continued to say that he had gotten somewhere north of seven thousand mentions and direct messages over Twitter. It forced him to turn off his Twitter account, just to get some peace of mind. I couldn’t help but to feel impressed that he was not making any attempts to puff up his fame in this interview. That at the end of the day, he really is an everyman.
Yet, he was the everyman that stood up to people causing harm to a friend of his. That, is what makes him a hero. He did what others might have been afraid to do out of fear of the repercussions, saying “I wasn’t really worried about that.” He even said that this was part of his nature to help a friend and that he would do this for anyone.
When I continued to ask about why he would do this, he gave me one last bit of advice. He said that we should be the change that we want to see in the world. It was a concept that Ghandi said and practiced throughout his life. A concept and divine idea that still rings true to this day. We are all an everyman, and yet, we have this potential that allows us to reach beyond ourselves, and choice to act as the hero. Scott J. Fox, is a shining example of this story. If we are to gather enough courage, we can change the world. I can only hope, that when fate chooses me to act, that I will answer her call, and go be as much as a hero as Scott is.

Get ShareaholicKSU’s gay magazine interviews furry students
Author: GreenReaper
Fusion Magazine, published by Kent State University students for the LGBTQ community, has based its latest issue on furries.
The coverage begins with a six-page profile of the fandom featuring Robby Conte (Robbyfox) and other NE Ohio furs.
Robbyfox describes his introduction to the fandom, his trip to Anthrocon 2010, and favourably compares furry fandom to the gay community, which he describes as ‘more intimidating’.
The article then gives an overview of fursuiting and a dismissive mention of Vanity Fair, before diving into quotes from sociological researcher Dr. Kathy Gerbasi, a description of a local furmeet and a sub-interview with ObliviousAlly.

Get ShareaholicWildCritters divided by policy changes
Author: GreenReaper
What is the nature of a critter? And when the community provides content, who should determine policy – the owner, or the users?
Such questions split WildCritters, an imageboard known for cute feral erotica.
The site distinguished itself from furry competitors like e621 and Fchan by restricting its content to high-quality artwork of ‘critters‘ – minimally anthropomorphic, chibi-like animals.
Now there are two sites: WildCritters.ws and WildCritters.net, both running Danbooru, sharing similar themes and content. How did this come about?

Friendship is Magic
The was a lot of talk late last year among animation fans about The Hub, a new cable channel created as a joint venture between Discovery Channel and the Hasbro toy company. The Hub was started as direct competition for the likes of The Family Channel. As such, they show original animated TV series during the day — almost entirely based on various Hasbro toy lines — an sit-com re-runs at night. One of the current flagships of the former is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, a flash animation series. It was developed for television by Lauren Faust, who is well-known in animation circles for her work on Powerpuff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends with her husband, Craig McCracken. Here’s the series description from Wikipedia: “The series stars a unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle, who has been known to be a pupil of the world’s ruler Princess Celestia. Seeing the young pony buried in books, the princess gives her the task of making friends, sending her, and a young dragon named Spike, to Ponyville. There, they meet some interesting ponies, including tomboyish Rainbow Dash, glamorous Rarity, hard-working Applejack, timid Fluttershy, and hyperactive Pinkie Pie. Together, they explore the ins and outs of the town, solve various problems, and make even more friends. Every day is a lesson for Twilight, but none as important as the magic of friendship. At the end of each episode, Twilight relays a report to her mentor Celestia, telling her what friendship has taught her.” The series is animated by Studio B Productions in Vancouver, Canada.

My SO and I are new furries. Advice?
My SO and I have enjoyed the occasional furry art every now and then but never really gotten into it. Lately, however, we have both taken a strong liking into the furry subculture. We just got back from an anime con and she decided to buy a tail, ears, and collar from the Furstars dealer. We couldn't afford anything for me unfortunately. I know that just the tail and ears doesn't make one a furry but we would both like to learn more about it and become part of the community. So could anyone give some advice or links that would help out some newborn furries?
