It's the final show of TigerTails Radio Season 5, and it's the 4 hour Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 3 show to celebrate the end of Season 5. The normal show format went out the window, though Felis did get some reviews in, as did Werewolfe. Xavier does some Doctor Who talk, and TK cheers about the PSN coming back up. The main focus was the gungings though, with 7 victims taking the slime. Starring TK, Eeve3, Xavier, Felis, Werewolfe, Shougo, Anthropuppy, Wellpied, Floating Lime, and Casualtees.

Police are searching for an armed robber dressed as a large furry animal who outran them after holding up a bank in the Swedish city of Gothenberg.

Authorities at Bangkok's international airport arrested a first-class passenger whose suitcases were filled with baby leopards, panthers, a bear and monkeys. The animals had been drugged and were headed for Dubai.

A man who worked as Blackburn Rovers’ Roar the Lion mascot has been charged with sexual offences against children.

Scott Henderson, 22, from Blackburn, was one of several volunteers who dressed up in the Roar costume for Ewood Park games.

He is accused of performing sex acts via a webcam after contacting teenage boys through Facebook.

He is also charged with having pornographic video clips of children.

He was arrested in October and bailed until this week.

Henderson, whose exact address has not been released for legal reasons, was charged on Friday with 10 offences.

They included:

Engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child aged 15 in September last year
Engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child aged 14 between March and April last year
Inciting a boy aged 14 to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity between March and April last year
Inciting a boy aged 15 to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity between March and April last year
Six counts of making indecent photographs of a child between January and May 2010 ranging from SAP levels one, two and four
He has been bailed and will appear before Blackburn Magistrates’ Court on May 31.

Before his arrest, Henderson would appear as the mascot at children’s birthday parties.

He also helped out in an administrative role at the club’s indoor football centre.

He was immediately relieved of his role when the allegations emerged.

A spokesman for Blackburn Rovers confirmed that Henderson no longer had any association with the club.

The Roar the Lion part was filled by a number of people on a rotating basis.

Following the allegations, Rovers ditched the mascot and launched a competition to design a new one.

Besides crime, the second-biggest concern for some Philadelphians, according to one City Council member, are raccoons, the furry thugs … that rummage through your trash and put entire neighborhoods on edge.

—Philadelphia Daily News

“The raccoons essentially clear the streets at night. They walk down the cats, the kids all run when they see the raccoons coming. … People shouldn’t have to be concerned about walking out their front door and being approached by a raccoon.”

—Councilman Darrell Clarke, as quoted on Newsworks.org

I've considered myself a furry for a long time now, but never bothered to make a fursona. Problem is, I can't draw and I don't know any other furries in person to help me out. I would think that it is difficult to convey to another artist online what you really want and what details you want. What is the best way to go about doing this?

I'm going to sleep, I'll check out and reply to responses in the morning. Thanks!

Seriously, you'd think the Japanese would have gotten on this by now. Where are the full length animated films that look like this?. It's a huge void in the market.

(Unless these kinds of films already exist and I just don't know about them? O_O)

The New York Times reports that the population of tropical rose-ringed parakeets in Britain, up from 1,500 ten years ago from escaped or deliberately released pets, has grown to an estimated 30,000 today, “turning a once-exotic bird into a notorious pest that awakens children, monopolizes garden bird feeders, and might even threaten British crops.”

The problem is acute in the suburbs of London, with one retiree reporting consumption of the contents of an entire bird feeder in one day.

May seem like a dumb question but I'm generally curious as to the community opinion on this controversial topic.

The Pennsylvania woman who alleged that she was fondled by Donald Duck during a visit to Epcot Center in Florida has settled her lawsuit against Disney, federal court records show.

April Magolon’s complaint, filed last August against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, was formally dismissed today by Judge John Padova in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia. The judicial order came a day after lawyers for the parties reported that the matter had been settled. Magolon’s attorney, Michael Pansini, sought dismissal of the lawsuit “with prejudice,” meaning that the action could not be refiled.

Flying first class may help you avoid luggage charges, but it doesn’t mean you can pack endangered animals in there, as the BBC News reports.

A man flying from Bangkok to Dubai was arrested by undercover police after trying to check in suitcases containing rare juvenile animals: two leopards, two panthers, an Asiatic black bear and two macaque monkeys, all sedated and packed in carefully-crafted containers.

Freeland Foundation director Steven Galster observed the arrest:

It was a very sophisticated smuggling operation. We’ve never seen one like this before. The guy had a virtual zoo in his suitcases.
