109 victims rescued after statewide anti-human trafficking operation

minusculeclap 


Quote:COLUMBUS, Ohio — More than 100 human trafficking victims were rescued following a statewide anti-human trafficking crack down called “Operation Autumn Hope,” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced Monday.
The operation was made up of over 50 police departments in Ohio and social service agencies that provided resources to the victims.

“Operation Autumn Hope” carried out four key priorities:
  • Rescuing victims of human trafficking and referring them to social services
  • Recovering missing and exploited children
  • Apprehending those seeking to have sex with a minor
  • Arresting male johns seeking to buy sex

“Every agency on this team looks for the day when no person is bought and sold in Ohio. Don’t buy sex in Ohio!” Yost said.

In total, 109 men, women and children were found during the operation. Across southern Ohio, 76 missing and exploited children cases were cleared, including 45 by physical recovery by the U.S. Marshal’s Service. Among those found was a 15-year-old girl from Cleveland whose recovery linked her and other possible victims to an individual in Columbus suspected of human trafficking.

In Cuyahoga, Franklin and Lucas counties, 157 men were arrested on charges of soliciting and other crimes—a component of Operation Autumn Hope focused on reducing the demand for sex. The Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force and Franklin Count Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force arrested 22 people accused of seeking sex with a minor. Those who were charged with felony counts of importuning, attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and other charges included a pastor, students and a rehabilitation resident adviser.

According to Yost, those who were charged with soliciting and other charges included a fireman, an attorney and a motivational speaker.

The Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, which helps survivors of human trafficking get back on their feet, will provide counseling and other services to the victims.

“Survivors of rape and sex trafficking deserve to be believed and have access to justice. By holding offenders accountable and reducing demand for human trafficking, this operation prevented many others from being harmed,” said Sondra Miller, president and CEO of the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center.

Students from Case Western Reserve University's Human Trafficking Law Project were partners in the operation. Ten faculty, law students and masters-level social work students met with survivors in the field and offered free legal representation and social services referrals.

“This experience allowed our students to witness firsthand a prime example of the inter-professional collaboration that is critical to anti-trafficking efforts,” said Laura McNally-Levine, associate dean for Experiential Education at Case.

“Participants gained insight into the incredible toll this heinous crime takes on its victims, and observed the difference that can be made by providing survivors with access to legal and social services. We are grateful for the tremendous efforts of law enforcement throughout this operation and for the opportunity to support survivors in such a unique capacity.”

Quote:'IT'S DISGRACEFUL' Fury as pics of paedophile Jimmy Savile reappear in BBC buildings

'Hidden pictures of paedophile Jimmy Savile’s face have ­reappeared in BBC buildings.
Around 50 on “BBC stars” wallpaper were concealed in 2012, often with images of the
girl-and-blackboard test card.

And staff have been horrified to see the fiend leering down at them again after the adhesive
failed - and the stickers began peeling off. Rooms used by CBBC children’s TV are among
those affected at the Beeb’s Bridge House, Dock House, and Quay House complexes in
Manchester.

The TV star and charity fundraiser died in October 2011 aged 84 before he could face justice
for hundreds of vile attacks which made him one of Britain worst ever sex offenders.
Workers from support services company Interserve were told to obscure the pictures of the
DJ on wallpaper among a galaxy of top BBC stars the following year.

A source said: ‘We were instructed to cover the images up with the picture of the girl.
These buildings house BBC Children’s TV and often have children inside.

“Savile shouldn’t have been on the wallpaper in the first place but the cover up picture they
selected is just wrong. “The idea was to use stickers of the young girl to try and match up
with the wallpaper.

“But there are around 50 pictures of Jimmy Savile lurking behind them. It’s disgraceful.”
The eight year old girl cover-up sticker is of Carole Hersee, now in her 60s, who became
one of the best known faces in Britain on “Test Card” transmissions when channels were
off-air.

Her BBC engineer father George designed the test card in 1967 and added the snap of
his daughter to the design...'

Well at least he believed in "All Animals are equal "
I seem to remember that Savile had a kids show call  "Jim will do you" or was it "Jim will grope you", maybe it was "Jim will get it"
Strange how the "left" seems to support child rape and the people who partake in it.
Then there was the fat bag of shit Cyril Smith, who strangely enough was the MP for Rochdale, I wonder how long he covered up the massive child rape and how long it has been going on, could it be since the early 70s.
BTW its interesting to read his history
Quote:Keith Raniere, the founder and leader of Nxivm, was sentenced today to 120 years in prison by United States District Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis in federal court in Brooklyn.
Raniere was convicted by a federal jury in June 2019 of racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, attempted sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy and wire fraud conspiracy.
The Court also imposed a fine of $1,750,000.
At the sentencing hearing, the Court heard victim impact statements from 15 individuals, including “Camila,” the victim who was sexually exploited by Raniere when she was 15 years old. A hearing on victim restitution will be held at a later date.

Our government is full of the evil and the corrupt, from the top, to the bottom, in the middle, and on both sides.

We can keep saying how awful it is, or we can be proactive. We can home grow our representatives and vote all the sitting unprosecuted criminals out of office. 

That will take time, work, and commitment. That is not what the majority of us want to do, that is why we have the representatives that we have today.

Maybe we would not be wanting to fight, kill, and burn, if we just took a few hours a month to work with folk in our local communities.

I'm posting this here because I want you to hear what Lin Wood has to say near the ending of this video.

See? It's not a conspiracy theory. There really are people in government who worship Satan and preform Satanic rituals.

For those who live in the 'Woke'-world and yet sneer at the accusations that well-organised systems are in place to
support a wealthy breed of deviants, it would be wise to see how sometimes your doubts dilute when you realise
that you're being mocked.

In a well-planned interview with a BBC Journalist and with many advisors and 'feet-on-the-ground' researchers
making sure the interrogation shows you in a good light, wording -obviously, is everything.
So why would Prince Andrew explain his innocence regarding the allegations of having sex with a minor by
saying he was at a 'Pizza Express' shop in Woking?! If there's one word you'd never use, it's Pizza!

'Pizza'... 'Woking'? The confidence of the Elite knows no bounds.

Quote:Prince Andrew's sex slave alibi falls apart:
Explosive dossier blows a hole in 'Pizza Express' excuse, and shows he had a manicure booked on day
Virginia Roberts claims she slept with him... but investigation questions her story too

*Daily Mail reveals astonishing details about day Prince Andrew allegedly slept with teenage Virginia Roberts
*An investigation into the events of March 10, 2001, found Duke of York had booked afternoon home manicure
*Princess Beatrice has 'absolutely no recollection' of Pizza Express party father claimed to have attended

'Prince Andrew's Pizza Express 'alibi' is in tatters following a bombshell Daily Mail investigation.

In the first instalment of an exclusive four-part series we can reveal astonishing details about the day he is alleged
to have slept with his teenage sex accuser Virginia Roberts. She says she was trafficked to London by the prince's
paedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein when she was just 17. Our investigation into the events of March 10, 2001,
can disclose that:

*Princess Beatrice has 'absolutely no recollection' of the Pizza Express birthday party her father has claimed to have attended;
*The family who hosted the party confirmed Beatrice came but cannot recall what happened and whether the prince was there;
*According to a family diary, the Duke of York had booked a home manicure on the afternoon he says he dropped Beatrice,
then aged 12, at the party in Woking, Surrey;
*Sources said the prince had a 'very vague' recollection of waiting under a bridge near Pizza Express to collect his daughter;
*A royal protection officer said to have been on duty that weekend, and who could possibly support his alibi, has died;
*Housekeepers on duty at the prince's home – Sunninghill Park, Ascot – 'can't remember' his movements on the weekend in
question;
*Concerns also emerged over the accuracy of Miss Roberts' claim that she went clubbing in London with Andrew that evening
and over her description of a bath tub in which she says they had sex;
*An exclusive through-the-keyhole view shows the bathroom in Ghislaine Maxwell's mews house in Belgravia;
*The Duchess of York was in the United States promoting chinaware to pay off her huge personal debts when Andrew is
alleged to have bedded Miss Roberts.

'That Picture' taken at Ghislaine Maxwell's townhouse in London, March 13 2001.
Princess Beatrice and the Pizza Express in Woking.

Our devastating revelations follow an investigation that has seen us obtain testimony from new witnesses, see sensitive
documents, learn the contents of diaries and interview high-level sources.
Our inquiries have taken us from London to New York, Boston, Florida, the US Virgin Islands, South Africa and Australia.

The series will also examine the precision of some of Miss Roberts' sensational allegations against the duke, which have
dogged him for nearly ten years since the Mail on Sunday published a picture of the pair together.
It was allegedly taken in British socialite Miss Maxwell's home on March 10, 2001.

In a car crash interview with the BBC, the Queen's second son rejected allegations made by Miss Roberts that they danced
together at celebrity night spot Tramp in central London before having sex.
His American accuser alleges they had sex three times in all – firstly in London, then in New York and finally in the Caribbean.
Andrew vehemently denies her claims.

The prince's extraordinary Pizza Express alibi prompted ridicule around the world last November.
In the interview with Emily Maitlis of Newsnight, Andrew denied having sex with Miss Roberts at Miss Maxwell's home.
He said it could not have happened because he spent the day with his daughter.

'I was with the children and I'd taken Beatrice to a Pizza Express in Woking for a party at, I suppose, sort of 4pm or 5pm
in the afternoon,' he said. When asked why he would remember a meal at Pizza Express 18 years later, he said:
'Because going to Pizza Express in Woking is an unusual thing for me to do, a very unusual thing for me to do ...
I've only been to Woking a couple of times and I remember it weirdly distinctly.
'As soon as somebody reminded me of it, I went, 'Oh yes, I remember that'.'

In June it was claimed that the prince was in a 'Mexican standoff' with US prosecutors.
He was said to be 'utterly bewildered' after he was accused of refusing to be interviewed by the Epstein investigators.
Friends said they were mystified by claims Andrew refused to cooperate with the probe – yet stopped short of denying
it was true.

US prosecutor Geoffrey Berman said the prince had 'repeatedly declined' a request to be interviewed and had 'unequivocally'
stated he would not come in for one. But Andrew's London lawyers say he offered to provide a statement.

The prince appeared to be at loggerheads with the Americans because they wanted a face-to-face interview, whereas he
wanted to provide evidence in writing. In July the prosecutors urged Andrew to 'talk to us' after the FBI arrested Miss Maxwell
on child sex charges.

Their call came after they pounced on the British socialite in a dawn raid on her hideaway in New Hampshire.
Hours later she appeared in court charged with the sordid abuse of girls as young as 14, including one in London.
Last night the US Department of Justice declined to answers a series of questions from the Daily Mail.

These included whether it had reached agreement with Prince Andrew's legal team over the terms of taking testimony from
him and whether it had obtained the original – rather than a copy – of the widely publicised picture purporting to show Andrew
with his arm around the waist of Miss Roberts.
The Mail also asked representatives of Andrew a series of questions about the London allegations made by Miss Roberts.

A spokesman for the duke said: 'It would not be appropriate to comment on any of these matters.'
A friend said: 'The duke has already publicly stated he has no recollection of meeting Virginia Roberts.
Nor has he any recollection of dining in a Chinese restaurant or attending Tramp on the night in question.
'It is also well known amongst the duke's circle of friends and his staff that he has been teetotal his entire adult life.'

A source close to the duke added: 'In the Buckingham Palace statement made on 19th August 2019 the Duke expressed deep
concern for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and hoped that they could find some resolution.

'It is a matter of deep regret to the Duke that he did not reiterate that empathy for the survivors during his Newsnight interview,
which was clearly a mistake.' Miss Roberts' representatives in New York did not respond to repeated requests to comment
on a series of questions from the Mail...'

Quote:Disgraced fashion mogul Peter Nygard, 79, is arrested in Canada on sex trafficking charge for a 'decades-long
pattern of luring girls and young women into sex acts with him'

'Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard was arrested on charges alleging he sexually abused women and girls after luring
them into his orbit with opportunities in fashion and modeling over the last 25 years.
The charges were announced by Acting US Attorney Audrey Strauss in Manhattan, the FBI and New York City police. 

The 79-year-old Nygard awaited an appearance in a Winnipeg courtroom after his Monday arrest by Canadian authorities
at the request of the United States under the two countries' extradition treaty.
His lawyer, Elkan Abramowitz, declined comment.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=8808]
Peter Nygard and his 'girlfriends'.

He was indicted on racketeering, sex trafficking, and related crimes arising out of a 'decades-long pattern' of criminal conduct
involving at least dozens of victims in the United States, the Bahamas, and Canada, among other locations, prosecutors said
in a statement. 

In announcing criminal charges, authorities said Nygard used the prestige of an international clothing design, manufacturing,
and supply business he founded and headquartered in Winnipeg, Canada, to persuade victims to submit to his demands.

According to an indictment, he capitalized on the Nygard Group's influence, using its employees, funds, and resources to
recruit women and girls under the age of 18. 

The indictment alleged that Nygard and his co-conspirators, including Nygard Group employees, used force, fraud, and
coercion to enlist the women and girls, who were sexually abused and assaulted by Nygard and others. 

'Nygard frequently targeted women and minor-aged girls who came from disadvantaged economic backgrounds and/or
who had a history of abuse,' prosecutors wrote.  

Fifty-seven women, including 18 Canadians, have joined the lawsuit, which alleges that Nygard used violence, intimidation,
bribery and company employees to lure victims and avoid accountability for decades.

In the statement, authorities said: 'Nygard forcibly sexually assaulted some of his victims.
Other victims were forcibly assaulted by Nygard's associates or drugged to ensure their compliance with his sexual demands.'

Authorities also alleged that Nygard 'maintained personal and quasi-professional relationships with certain of his victims,
whom he referred to as “girlfriends” or “assistants".' He is accused of then requiring his “girlfriends” to travel and to stay
with him regularly; 'to engage in sexual activity at his direction (including with Nygard, with each other, and with others);
and to recruit new women and minor-aged girls for Nygard to have sex with'. 

'Nygard dictated the daily activities of “girlfriends” and the details of their appearance. “Girlfriends” were also under constant
surveillance by Nygard and his associates and were not permitted to leave premises without Nygard’s express permission,'
the statement reads. 

His arrest comes months after US federal authorities raided his Manhattan offices earlier this year. 
The FBI raid came soon after 10 women sued Nygard, saying he enticed young and impoverished women to his Bahamas
estate with cash and promises of modeling and fashion opportunities. 

Several plaintiffs in the suit, filed in New York City, said they were 14 or 15 years old when Nygard gave them alcohol or drugs
and then raped them. Nygard has denied all allegations and blames a conspiracy caused by a feud with his billionaire neighbour,
Louis Bacon, in the Bahamas.

The allegations in the criminal case mirror claims in a class-action lawsuit that Nygard used his company, bribery of Bahamian
officials and 'considerable influence in the fashion industry' to recruit victims in the Bahamas, United States and Canada. 

It alleges he plied the young women with drugs and alcohol during 'pamper parties' and kept a database on a corporate server
containing the names of thousands of potential victims.

Nygard's accusers had their passports taken from them when they were flown into the Bahamas, the lawsuit alleges, adding
the designer 'expected a sex act before he was willing to consider releasing any person' from his estate.

A spokesman for Nygard said earlier this year he was stepping down as chairman of Nygard companies and would divest his
ownership interest. Nygard International began in Winnipeg as a sportswear manufacturer. Its website says its retail division
has more than 170 stores in North America...'

I totally agree, this behaviour seems to be ignored by those who have the most influence to stop it.

It always gnaws at me that the same topics arise when information comes to light about the antics of the rich.
Sex with minors, sex-trafficking of women and boys, sex-cults, the Hollywood casting-couch and general sexual
abuse... all based on a need to control and is usually oiled by the use of money.

Yet those with the power to cripple this industry exist in the same circles as those who commit the acts and
usually indicate a rational reason for such a 'fall from grace'. A pervert from the streets gets standard imprisonment,
the Harvey Weinsteins of this world get better comfort because of their standing in an environment that allowed
such horrors to take place.

Sex and money, money and sex. So much for high values and wholesome moral standards.

Really upsetting stuff.
I see things I could post here every day, but that would take too much of my time. I'm sure you all see it too; how could you not? There's something in the news about child traffickers being taken down just every day or two. It's good to see that something is being done, especially when it involves toddlers.

FEDS: Children’s Swim School Employee, 29, Was Admin For Pedophilia Website, Talked of Abusing Her Own Unborn Baby


Quote:PHILADELPHIA – Danielle Sebenick, 29, of Glenside, PA, was sentenced to seven years in prison, and ten years of supervised release for her distribution and possession of child pornography.

In May 2019, Sebenick pleaded guilty to charges stemming from an investigation into her trafficking in videos of child pornography on the internet during November 2018, while she was employed at Kids First Swim School in Jenkintown, PA.
Authorities identified Sebenick as the administrator of an online site that was dedicated to the sexual abuse and exploitation of children. She used the online site to communicate with other child sex offenders and to traffic in child pornography. At the time that she committed these crimes, Sebenick was six months’ pregnant with her first child; during her online communications with other child sex offenders, Sebenick discussed her plans to sexually abuse her baby as soon as she gave birth. Fortunately, Sebenick was identified by law enforcement, arrested, and incarcerated. She gave birth in prison and the child was placed in the custody of family members.
“Not only did this defendant commit the heinous crime of possessing and distributing child pornography, but she did so while employed at a business that caters to children and while threatening to sexually abuse her own baby,” said Acting United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams. “The thought of a mother bringing a child into the world with the plan to abuse him or her, a helpless infant, is almost unfathomable. She will now spend years behind bars where she no longer poses a threat to our community.”
“Today’s sentence reflects the seriousness of the defendant’s crimes and the irrevocable damage she caused,” said Brian A. Michael, Special Agent in Charge for Homeland Security Investigations Philadelphia. “Homeland Security Investigations will continue to work collectively with our law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute those who commit the heinous crime of possessing and distributing child pornography.”

And if that isn't bad enough, Bill Cosby was released today. 

Quote:Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction has been overturned by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, paving the way for him to be freed from jail, according to a ruling Wednesday. Cosby, 83, was convicted of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in 2004. 

The court said a "non-prosecution agreement" agreement with a previous prosecutor prevented Cosby from facing charges. With the ruling, the judges wrote that "Cosby's convictions and judgment of sentence are vacated, and he is discharged."

Cosby's guilt is split among people, but one woman has voiced her anger loud and clear.

Quote:Amber Tamblyn, a co-founder of Time's Up, was angered by it: "I am furious to hear this news. I personally know women who this man drugged and raped while unconscious. Shame on the court and this decision."

Quote:Disgusting perverts or just misunderstood?
Meet the zoophiles who have sex with animals and want to be embraced by Pride

'Zoophiles believe it’s acceptable to be intimate with an animal, and want the LGTBQ+ movement to add a Z to its name.
RT spoke to one about their secret world, and with members of the ‘furry’ and ‘therian’ communities.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=9612]
Please God... No.

Pride Month has just come to an end, following four weeks of global parades and celebrations featuring gay, bisexual, queer,
trans, de-trans, asexual and other marginalised communities. But one group not welcome, for the most part, is the zoophile
community. In a nutshell, this comprises people who have a sexual attraction to animals, although this may not always
necessarily be acted upon.

This exclusion has caused the zoophile community to hold its own Pride celebration, which this year is from July 1 to July 7.

There are also two other related animal-loving identities, those who consider themselves therians or furries. The former are
people who feel they have a non-human element, spiritually or psychologically, while the latter have an adoration of only
certain animals.

There is a degree of overlap between both groups, and some wear animal suits and masks to celebrate their identity, although
to make the situation even more complicated, some therians and furries are also zoophiles.

Many from the three communities shun publicity due to the automatic assumption from outsiders that they enjoy sex with animals.
Those who do engage in sexual intimacy could face criminal charges or violent reprisals from the public should their identities be
revealed. Some contemplate suicide or have even killed themselves due to the stress of being relentlessly harassed.

However, one figure in the zoophile community did agree to speak to RT. Toggle is from Pennsylvania, and wanted to put on record
that he was contributing only  because of his dissatisfaction at how zoophiles are portrayed in the media. He was adamant that they
cannot be excluded from Pride, no matter what the masses say.

Toggle said, “Zoophiles are quintessentially queer. But if you think Pride is a social event that you can be uninvited from, you
misunderstand it on a fundamental level. Pride is a protest. Pride is about defiance against a society that doesn’t want you to exist. 

“Some people may have forgotten that, but I haven’t. So, people can say things on Twitter like, ‘Zoophiles aren’t welcome at Pride’,
but they can’t stop us from participating. Pride isn’t something other people can take away from you unless you let them.”
Toggle is attracted to male dogs, boars, stallions, and mares, although he is not ‘zoo-exclusive’, and is also attracted to humans.

While to many the idea of having sex with animals is unthinkable, Toggle explained, “People think our relationships with animals are
exclusively sexual, but just like heterosexuality and homosexuality, our relationships are multifaceted.

Sex is a very small part of our interactions with animals, and in fact, there are many zoophiles who don’t have sex with animals at all.
I think a defining part of our existence is a profound respect for non-human people, and a desire to make the world a better place for
them. 

“This is why many zoophiles spend time engaged in animal rights activism and orient their lives around working with animals. We love
them, and we want to enrich their lives.” The major reason so many are adamant they don’t want zoophiles at Pride concerns the issue
of consent. Some think it’s equivalent to child abuse, where dominance is imposed on a weaker party.

But Toggle countered, “Consent is incredibly important to us ‘zoos’ – more so to us than to non-zoos, who, I think it’s fair to say, have
rarely ever considered whether or not animals consent to anything they put them through day to day. “The zoos I know value autonomy
for their animal partners.

We give them the freedom to make their own choices whenever possible, and we respect those choices.
For most people who raise the alarm about consent, it’s merely a diversion from their actual objection: disgust. And considering that the
same people who scream that animals can’t consent also send us pictures of horse meat and videos of dogs being murdered with shovels
in order to mock us and break our spirit, I’d say that it’s never actually about concern for animal welfare.”

However, Toggle did not explain how it was understood that consent had been granted, or how that is even possible. Another issue is
the public's general perception that zoophilia is not an innate part of someone. Toggle thinks this is unfair and argues that ignorance
is the main reason the community is shunned by Pride.

He continued, “It’s innate. I think it’s weird to assume someone would choose to put themselves through misery. Being a zoophile comes
with a lot of heartache. After all, the people you form your primary bonds with have significantly shorter life spans. That said, I would never
choose to be born differently, because being a zoophile has shaped the person I am today, and who I am is good.”

This sentiment is also strong among furries. In this community, members create a ‘fursona’ – a suit to represent their animal persona.
One member is Fox, 28, from Wyoming, who is not a zoophile. However, it – Fox does not use conventional pronouns such as he, she
or even they – is often perceived by others to be one. Fox told RT, “There are at least some zoosexuals who are not furries and the
majority of furries are not zoosexuals.”

Based on encounters over more than a decade across the US, Fox estimates that around one in five furries has zoosexual interests.
Fox would vividly and repeatedly dream of being a fox, but did not realise other people experienced the same strong feelings until it
found the furry community.

It continued, “The community made it possible for me to socialize, make friends, and realise that I wasn’t the only person of my kind.
I am often very wary of humans in the offline world and become rather alarmed if they try to touch me for any reason. 

“I have some level of what is called anthropophobia, a fear of humans. But when I’m with someone wearing a full-body fur suit or partial
animal accessories, I don’t feel socially inhibited and it’s easy for me to hang out with them.

“I mentally think of my online furry friends as their animal characters, rather than as humans per se, and the furry community means
peoplelike me can finally form friendships and have a positive social life.” Fox enjoys wearing a faux fur tail and feels happier in remote
settings, where foxes would be naturally.
It added, “I love spending nights under the stars whenever possible. Foxes resonate with me as the most elegant form one could have
– something that is much more me than the way I am now.”

If furries were accepted into Pride widely, what would that mean? Fox said, “I don’t think it should be any more controversial for someone
to wear a tail in their daily life than it would be for someone who is transgender to wear clothes in line with their gender, despite perhaps
not having the funds for transgender surgeries.

“On a few occasions, in big cities in the US, I unexpectedly got to see another person walking along the sidewalk on an ordinary day
wearing a faux-fur tail. Spotting other people like me ‘in the wild’ in a big city helped me know I wasn’t alone. It certainly reduces my
species dysphoria and makes me feel more calm and at peace with myself when I’m wearing my tail.”

Another furry is Tyler, who lives in New York City and is 15 years old. He has husky and fox suits, and has already experienced a backlash.
Tyler said, “People do often confuse it with zoophilia. I’ve been referred to as a ‘dog f****er’ and by other names of that nature.
All I had to do was draw anthropomorphic animals in order to be accused of those things.”

He feels there should be a place for furries at Pride. He continued: “Pride is wrong for shunning furries if the shunning is due to the popular
myth that all fur suits are a fetish thing. Furries should be able to wear their fur suits while celebrating their non-cis identities.”

So just how common is bestiality? Three studies published between 1948 and 1974 found an average of 6.5 percent of men and 2.8 percent
of women self-reported at least one sexual encounter with an animal. Members of the community have various websites where they share
tips on animals and post pictures and videos of their experiences. One site, BeastForum, claimed over 1.2 million registered members
before it closed two years ago.

The size of the community, and thus demand, has even led to the formation of so-called “bestiality brothels”.
But not all like to engage in physical sex with animals. Another of our interviewees was 20-year-old Coyote, who is a therian.
Their links to the community are more spiritual.

They said, “I’m actually not sure exactly what sort of coyote I am, but ever since I was young, I’ve felt more at home away from
civilisation and out in the Ozarks. I feel like I can actually be myself there.” They are quick to dismiss any link to zoophilia and feel
it has no place at Pride, stressing, “That animal trusts you, and any sexual contact with it violates that trust. Animals don’t have the
capacity to understand consent or what they’re doing, only that it feels good to them. It’s rape, at a base level.”

However, Coyote reckons both therians and furries should be welcome at Pride. They added, “I feel there should be space for everyone
as long as their identity isn’t harmful. Pride is a celebration of who you are. If you’re anything non-cis and your identity isn't harmful to
others, I think it’s fine. It would be nice if I could tell people that I feel non-human on an integral level and not be laughed at.”

Their personal experience, this year, was positive. “I went to my local Pride recently and told several people and it went pretty well,
honestly.”

Will all these communities linked to animals ever be fully accepted as part of Pride? Or will they all remain stigmatised due to the
perceived link to zoophilia? It’s a complex matter with no easy answers and understandably strong feelings on both sides of the debate.
However, the fact that zoophiles have devised their own Zoo Pride flag and symbol suggests that even they appreciate their chances of
inclusion in the Pride ‘mainstream’ are extremely unlikely...'
