SERIES: Who runs your community? Five stories about predators with powerful friends in fandom.

No consequences for participating in the worst crime ring to ever emerge in fandom.

A series of international furry events under the name Club Animalz (and other names) has been held in Manchester and Berlin since 2017. The founder, Foxb/Foxbearance, AKA Ben Mills, was exposed as an animal rapist in the 2018 zoosadist leaks. Mills raped animals on video, in a fursuit made for him, that he used for years. In 2025, his events are still popular and partnered with large cons in the mainstream of furry like Confuzzled.

The evidence in the 2018 zoosadist leaks led to multiple arrests, featured in a TV true crime docuseries, The Furry Detectives: Unmasking a Monster. The show interviews court workers and hardened police veterans who quit their careers from the trauma of seeing the brutal torture of animal victims. Lawyers went over the show, and if it could be challenged in court, it wouldn’t have been made. The leaks are unquestionably real, but hundreds of participants got away.

Foxb was one of the participants who never faced justice. His messages to a ringleader, Levi “Snakething” Simmons (who is now jailed for 25 years) discussed making “zoosuit” abuse videos with a tag for the party he ran.

In 2025, Foxb has the same power he always had. Dogpatch Press was recently contacted with a tip:

Foxb/Foxbearance, otherwise known as Rutt, Rutt Pup and their real name, Ben Mills, one of two directors of Club Animalz, Doggy weekend, HotDogz and other events, is an outed zoophile. After they were exposed via the zoosadism leaks in 2018, they now run events in the UK, Germany and elsewhere.

Foxb’s Barq profile directly points them to running said events. A search via Companies House, a publicly accessible site to obtain company information within the UK, places Foxb (Ben Mills) as one of two directors of ‘Big Red Bone Limited‘ (archived) which is linked from the bottom of ‘Doggy Weekend‘ and ‘Club Animalz‘.

Either people have forgotten, just don’t care, or stay unaware, which would be a shame considering most people in the fandom would reject such people who subject animals to awful things. People should be more aware of those they are supporting by going to these events. Zoos have no place in the fandom.

Information was obtained via Heikadog’s zoophile evidence list, along with hosted links to images of said abuse.

Check the zoophile evidence list (and read about Heika’s anti-zoophile community moderation.)

The leaked chats match videos that would get reporting shut down if posted in full. Face concealment and short statutory limits makes known loopholes to get away with abuse, but Foxb posted his Rutt Pup fursuit as made for him in 2012 and kept it for years after with no defense about abusing animals in it while organizing furry events.

The events run by this zoosadist ring member are now partnered with “mainstream UK furry conventions, including Confuzzled in 2024”. -Wikifur.

Individual event accounts run by Foxb/Ben Mills have been added to the Heikadog evidence list with the “zoophile supporter” label.
