I'm not defending this charity since I have no idea what they're doing, but I feel it's worth pointing out rescue charities end up biting off more than they could chew very often. Being overcrowded is almost a fact of life for most of them, since otherwise the abandoned animals will usually end up dead in short order. So a lot of them will pick up more animals than they could normally handle if they followed all the relevant procedures to a T.

so i decided to do some looking into the the conventions charity and i probably wouldn't spend time defending it because it looks like they do some pretty dumb shit, and are promoting a "Tortise Painting Party"

and their latest incident being 2019 where they let a photographer into a lion/tiger cage where she was then attacked. since then it seems like they have not opened to the public over it (but claim to be short staffed)

Theres also something about Carol Basket-Case about being mad at them for thinking they have her tigers, but thats another can of worms if you wanna find it.

Oh, I'm definitely not jumping to defend these guys. As I said, it was a general point about rescues and shelters.

Anyway, the tortoise painting thing is goofy as fuck, but I wouldn't call it harmful. So long as there's supervision so the kids don't go poking the critters in the soft bits, they literally won't feel a damn thing on their backs. And if everything is water-soluble anyway chances are they'll enjoy being washed afterwards.

Now, for that juicier bit you mentioned: Safari Sanctuary's owner Lori Ensign-Scroggins was accused by Carole Baskins of being the person Joe Exotic sold tiger cubs to. This whole thing with exotic animals, unless they're dealing entirely with documented rescues, is a rabbithole and a half of scummy practices and just plain illegal shit.

Now that does depend on what someone defines as exotic. Retards in government still have US-ARK saying that includes small reptiles, though thankfully it hasn't passed. In the case of tigers, though, I agree. If it's legit. I wouldn't trust Carol to tell the truth especially when she's trying to act like she's above the other big cat people, especially when that involved forcing more regulation on animal keeping, while keeping 'rescues' like hers out of that.
 
I am unable to provide the evidence
(feel free to take most of this minus the numbers as a educated general rant.)

I am unable to get screenshots off of telegram anymore but apparently their official chat says they have about 259 people attend the con so far. If this is a small con for its first year this isn't a complete failure for a con. Especially considering this is day one and Saturday is usually the big day I fully expect about 300-400ish people to attend.

While this might not seem like a giant success for a fur con. Remember this is being actively surpressed with a admins being harassed and a cheaper suburban space this con will most likely break even.

The question is if this con doesn't have financial fuckery and works out well enough I fully expect Oklahoma to have two cons that try to drag each other down but only end up benefiting because the cliques will end up being entirely different.
 
I will say as a reptile enthusiast, the bearded dragon thing is bad. They are solitary animals and will absolutely fuck eachother up if given the chance. Anyone who has done any research before owning one would know this so that is a major brain dead dumbfuck move on the rescues part. The tortoise painting is also pretty awful, not only are their respiratory systems sensitive their shells are porous to liquid so paint would be seeping into it and potentially getting into the blood stream.

Yep. If you want to be 'fancy' you can get a bit of Quik-Crete or fishing weights to fill the end with for weight. With a thick plastic cup for a mould and some old nails you can make a scrap punk morningstar (with the Quik-Crete).

About 16 inches of scrap pipe is perfect though, cheap and totally disposable.

Go onto construction sites wearing a high-vis and just lift old discarded bent poles. They usually still have the concrete plug too. Talk about your scrap punk morningstar.
 
I was scrolling through Twitter seeing everyone make connections with the ball pit and Dashcon. Maybe I'm dense, but I'm confused by FreeFurAll's joke with the ball pit:

"Look guys! It's a ball pit at a convention, just like Dashcon! Dashcon was so bad and the ball pit memes were so funny! Our convention is so bad and we have a ball pit... wait, what?"

Edit: Now that I thought about it, I suppose it was a publicity stunt to get people's attention and entice them to come to the con (though why you would want to go to a potential Dashcon 2.0 is beyond me unless if it's for the lulz).

People were calling them Dashcon 2.0 so they joked about having a ball pit to lean into it/poke fun at themselves. Like you said it's free advertising through comedy.

Whose the fatass behind Crusader Cat? Is it a fetish suit or something?

The dog fursuiter between them is obscuring their face but it does look like a fatsuit.

Honestly, it's pretty impressive that we got a fursuit photo that has at least 4 lolcows that already have threads on here. I'll just link relevant KF threads for the lurkers:

Crusader Cat
Diezel Raccoon
Jasonafex
Foxler

Am I missing any?

It's even more impressive when you account for how small the con is.

Still, I'll give them credit for this: I did not expect it to happen at all. Most furcons implode in the planning phase, after all. Still one day to go, though. One more day for possible lulz.
