Dear friends,

Want to inform you that in Russia there was an extremely unfavorable situation, connected with a huge amount of inadequate people, who only representing themselves as furries, but do absolutely contrary things.

Be careful and choosy contacting to russia. There are peoples In social nets, who creating fake pages and stealing arts and characters. But the most terrible and disgusting fact is that some of them are hunters or supports hunting. (I mean hunting that not necessary for survival). In supporting of hunting they use delusional and contradictory arguments, religion and another antiscientific trash. And it does not stop them to call themselves animal lovers and furries.
In particular, especially disturbing fact of their presence in the Balto.ru project team. Just disgustingly to know that the people I worked with for so long, showing themselves extremely unethical and immoral. One hunter has been added to a project workgroup, with approval of part of administration.

I think this problem has deep historical roots. Russian traditions - is ignorance, hatred and violence. Most of people don’t want to live civilized. These things, connected with orthodox christianity and perverted russian patriotism (in the words of one activist, “patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels”) allow them to be ignorant and obscurantist.

All this is not related to furries, because furries never will do that. People who I described there are not furry whatever they say.
