Token and I would like to join the whole saturday!

Is it possible to bring our dog with us?

Hello everybody!

As with all previous productions, we are going to produce our pawpetshow sets in one big group effort, since we only have one weekend to finish them That means, we need all the helpers we can get - tinkerers, painters, artists - if you can use a paint brush, jigsaw or screwdriver, you can help!

Typical jobs we have is: Priming panels with background colors, mounting pre-printed artwork to backdrops, cutting out shapes, building frames, joining backdrop and prop parts, installing reinforcements, cutting out windows and adding door hinges ... there is plenty of stuff do. Our talented lead artists and craftspeople will tell you exactly what  you have to do. And if you are an artist yourself, the better, because we also need people who are able to instruct the helpers. Usually it's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun

Would you like to volunteer? Just reply to this thread, or send a message to @cheetahspottycat on Telegram!



The workshop is going to take place

SATURDAY - 14-September-2024
SUNDAY - 15-September-2024
DATES HAVE CHANGED


Edit: The PPS Building Weekend had to be moved to the Weekend of 14.&15. September. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes… it was not an easy decision. Our originally planned weekend clashed with the big Union Viertel Fleamarket, which covers all outdoor areas, so we would have been caged inside the indoor workshop.vThat is just impossible to finish our long list of tasks without our outdoor Workshop area, that makes up like 50% of our setup.


The full address of the workshop is:

Union Gewerbehof
Huckarder Str. 10-12
44147 Dortmund





We can arrange sleeping space in the area, if that's necessary. Food and Drinks will be provided.

If you would like to volunteer, please post a reply in this thread, so we can plan ahead and make sure there will be enough food and drinks, and stuff for everyone!

…Gesundheit!

Update on fur farm rescue: https://youtu.be/i6OOJJyYBhE

The foxes are save, they have raised 400k, and bought the 500 foxes from the fur farm for 90k with a legal "no-farm clause", but they still need donations. They are still $300,000 short of their goal.

The foxes right now still live in the tiny cages. The males are getting neutered. And feeding 500 foxes costs about 65k/year.
Save A Fox is now looking for adopters / qualified facilities.
Please help and spread the word!

Maybe support them on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Saveafox/posts
Share their videos, follow them on Facebook.

Thank you all!

Hello,
this is a call for help.

Imagine 500 innocent foxes facing an imminent end... We have a chance to change their fate.

A lot of you probably have heard about Save A Fox - or at least have seen some of their videos that have gone viral (the fox stealing the iPhone and running away with it, for example).

They have saved a lot of foxes from North America's (probably) biggest fur farm. Mostly foxes that were too weak or too 'ugly' for breeding.
Right now this fur farm is in the process of closing. In the process, they plan to cull all of the around 500 foxes.

Save A Fox has made an oral agreement with the owner, who agreed to sell them the rest of the farm, including the cages and the foxes. And of course they need to raise money to properly care for the foxes, they need to hire vets and other staff, get property and build a huge amount of new enclosures and runs. For all of that they are looking to raise 700.000$. They are working out the legal paperwork with a lawyer at the moment, it even includes a clause which prevents the owner from ever farming animals again (hopefully, if all goes well).

In the past few days Save A Fox has already raised around 150.000$ with donations, but it's not enough. The deadline for the fur farm is November 1st.

We as furries have always had a big heart for animals, and it almost has become our custom to collect money for animal and wildlife charities at furry events. Please help, this is a really urgent matter! I'm not just asking for donations – even spreading the word, engaging in the social media posts, and letting the furry fandom and everybody else know about the urgency can make a huge difference!

Please spread the word, maybe push them as the charity for some furry events, engage and watch and like their posts, share their videos. It's the only chance to save those poor foxes.

What can you do:

• Share their original post with their call for help: https://youtu.be/kGbqFkRfzr0
• Engage in social media posts of Save A Fox
  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaveAFoxRescue/
  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saveafox_rescue/
  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SaveAFox
• Tell your friends and the community about the situation!
• Consider donating directly to Save A Fox if you can: https://www.saveafox.org/

We furries can absolutely help them on this mission!

Save A Fox is a nonprofit organization, with a team of around 30 people, including financial staff, their board, volunteers, helpers, etc.

Here's a Q&A with Mikayla who does almost all the social media stuff: https://youtu.be/zTuce-joKic
They already have two locations, one in Minnesota and one in Florida, but that's not enough to house 500 additional fox rescues.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Save A Fox whatsoever, I'm just one of many many donors who wants to help them close this horrific fur farm, while sparing the 500 foxes from getting killed.

The clock is ticking! Each of us can make a difference. Let's come together and save these innocent animals.

Comedy podcast about random topics. Their guest, Aminata Belli, happened to stay at the Radisson Blu during EF and generally seemed positive, but it still derailed into fursuit sex and ended with a not entirely serious "think of the children" type message. She apparently wants to return to EF next year and do some kind of report...
