From the International Wolf Center (www.wolf.org), which I was so fortunate to visit last weekend...

Check out wolves, the International Wolf Center and Minnesota on the ABC program, Good Morning America, Tuesday, April 30! The program will be broadcast live from Stillwater, Minnesota with Dave Mech hosting a pre-filmed wolf segment in Ely.

The second annual Midwest FurFest Charity Auction is only 19 days
away! That means if you've been meaning to create something for Uncle
Kage to auction off for Animals for Awareness, time is running short. Original items
like artwork, sculpture, fursuit components and other creative
products are very much desired!

But by no means are we limiting the items to handiwork. If you have a
plush, a stack of furry comics, a nonperishable food donation, a gift
certificate or anything else that may be of interest (and falls within
our item guidelines
), let me know!

I would like to hear from you before the con (November 16-18) if
you're planning to donate an item, so drop me a line at [email protected] as soon as you can. Time is also growing short to mail an item if you can't make it to MFF and offer it in person, so hop to it! And thanks...

From NPR's Morning Edition. From this, we learn two things: 1) society often reacts badly to nonconformity, and 2) don't wear your fursuit in the streets of Almaty. :)



"Host Alex Chadwick talks to a Central Asian human rights monitor about the Kazahkstan government's arrest of people with "bohemian" lifestyles. That includes those who dress up like Hobbits, the gnome-like creatures from the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy books. The interviewee is Saule Muthametrakhimova, an editor for the London-based Institute for War and Peace Reporting."
