Nazi-furry sex offender Jacob Kovar loses in court, but is still shielded by Colorado furry groups

by Patch O'Furr

A meritless case to remove a felony conviction.

Youtube’s Law Talk With Mike has a lawyer who covers silly antics in court, often by self-represented (Pro Se) Sovereign Citizens who make fools of themselves.

In August 2026, the channel featured a furry named Jacob Kovar.

Kovar had a long record as a repeat felon who kept making furry news. He helped to run the Furry Raiders nazi-furry group while bouncing in and out of jail. In 2019, Dogpatch Press was credited in an arrest warrant for Kovar, for reporting him for witness intimidation that targeted Dogpatch Press as well.

The 2026 court date was right after Kovar finished jail time that Dogpatch Press helped him to get. Kovar was representing himself to get that crime taken off his record. Fresh out of jail, he was trying to deny responsibility and undo justice for the victims.

The two-hour video explains why he lost and how the law works.

¿Que son los Therian? A viral trend on Spanish-speaking media brings echoes of culture war.

by Dogpatch Press Staff

Guest writer Kamen the Lycanroc has covered NYFurs events, and now looks at world news about Therians, the subset of Otherkin identity.

Screenshot of the Tiktok page Fox_cor, which has become a prominent video used in Latin American headlines.

Therians become a viral trend in Latin America, for better or worse.

“Are you a therian?” A boy from Spain came up and asked EberraWolf, a fellow furry news reporter, as NYCFurwalk hosted their 12th walk through the financial district of New York City. This question not only puzzled the tourists, it took Spanish-speaking countries by storm.

The first notice started with a news profile about a therian Tiktok user named Lexi from Argentina, and turned into a viral topic across Latin America. Therians went from appearing on gossip TV shows in Argentina for a laugh, to an amalgamation of AI-generated videos, false rumors, and memes all over Spanish-speaking social media, with furries getting in on it for better or worse.

Therians became a viral trend in Latin America around the middle of February 2026, with Google trends showing a major increase in searches for therians and other related topics in the region. Spanish articles, videos, and reports are what appeared first on Google searches even in North America. While English-speaking Youtube results of the search term “Therian” brings up Tiktok re-uploads, Spanish-speaking search results bring out news reports and videos in news sources from Mexico to Chile.

For example, El Heraldo De Mexico, a Mexican newspaper, published several videos and YouTube shorts about therians in the span of three weeks, with video titles claiming “They bite children, fight with dogs, and they go to the veterinarian! The very controversial case of Therians!”

While it has remained mostly a trend on social media, it did not take long to escalate. Spanish-speaking sites became filled with AI-generated posters promoting “Therian meetups” in prominent cities in Spain and Latin America. AI-generated videos and images also spread of “Therian Rights protests”, such as a video from a Dominican Republic news channel showcasing dogs attacking Therians at a protest. It only takes a short look to see inconsistencies such as the signs having different languages and the Washington Monument appearing in the background. Rumors have gotten so bad that there was a false news story about a Therian being set on fire in Guatemala.

Furries in the Epstein Files? Search brings up narratives where we fail to tell the full truth.

by Patch O'Furr

News in a moment: but first, recommended background for the Epstein story.

The Epstein files represent a major coverup of crime by wealthy elites, broken open as an ongoing public scandal. It keeps exposing worse and worse associations with dead financier Jeffrey Epstein. It’s a story of rich pedophiles and their enablers, including Donald Trump. Do you feel lost about where it starts and ends? Try this episode of radio show This Is Hell for an interview with an award-winning journalist who wrote a book about the coverup. It’s packed with fresh, conversational analysis to help you catch up.

Furries in the files?

In 2019, Epstein’s alleged suicide in jail silenced him from having to testify about powerful friends. It couldn’t silence demands for the government to finally release documents of official investigation… partially and controversially so far. With over 3.5 million pages released as of March 2026 (and who knows how much more to come), you can search for any term in them and possibly get results.

What happens if you search for “furry” or “furries”? Dogpatch Press did this on February 14, before a completely separate effort by fellow furry reporter Sonious published on March 8. You should go read Sonious’ article that propels this one.

Ebay has a $16,000 shirt from Confurence Zero, and we have questions for the seller

by Patch O'Furr

This shirt is one of a kind and 16 grand. If it sells, the seller will have 17 kittens.

Vintage graphic t-shirts from the 1960’s-90’s routinely sell for hundreds or a few thousand dollars. Old fans might want to check their closets, because Ebay has some with furry graphics, like a $300 Cutey Bunny shirt from 1983. Then there’s this eye-poppingly iconic treasure:

Ultra Rare ConFurence Zero Event Shirt! Furry Convention Shirt!

This is an extremely rare event shirt for what was the World’s first Furry convention. It was Hosted in a venue in Costa Mesa, California in January 21-22 of 1989, and only 65 people attended. The event itself was more of a pre-convention, to see if anyone was interested in attending such events. As a result of being the world’s first exclusive Furry con, and with such low attendance, any sort of merch from the event is incredibly rare.

Wow, that exists: Cider Collie’s insanely crafted, detachable plush vulva is a fursuiter’s wet dream

by Patch O'Furr

This state-of-the-art adult fursuit technology will get you kicked out of Disneyland – but into the horniest places on earth!

Want to get your paws on the ultimate fursuit accessory that redefines heavy petting? If you want to bare it all, Cider Collie has you covered. Her faux-fur-crafted SPH (Strategically Placed Hole) makes cartoon animal crotches more anatomically-correct than the average person on the street could ever imagine. It can come off to stay SFW, or zip on at will, letting anthropomorphic dogs, kitties and bunnies be as bold as fantasy characters can possibly be. It’s stretchy and penetrable for full contact by collaborators in furry performance art, so their partners can please them in ways that real life isn’t known to provide. Sounds too hot to bother about rug burns.

Reporting the adult side of furry follows a mission to cover the hole truth; the good, the bad, and the sexy, with no sacred cows left unturned. Think of how this was made with hands, fabric, and a naughty dream. Compared to some uses of human bodies in adult media, sewing is wholesome, isn’t it?  The uncensored art is NSFW — kids and prudes go away — but tasteful, mature readers can see it and smile. So feast your eyes on this invention of utmost necessity, and learn how Cider Collie’s crazy job brought it to life in her Q&A with Dogpatch Press.

Furrydelphia drops Twitter – can you #QuitYourX?

by Patch O'Furr

Bad habits die hard. Let’s talk about how furries use Twitter (“X”), despite everything.

We all know what’s wrong with its biggest influencers and owner.

The world’s richest man bought the site to control information.

It’s not just to deceive you for politics — His power rises by growing traffic of any kind.

Every active account gives him power; for or against, real or fake, traffic grows his power, not yours.

Meanwhile you’ll be trolled with denials of what you can see with your own eyes.

Shake your tails: the history, excitement and impact of the Furry Dance Scene from 2008-now

by Dogpatch Press Staff

Guest post by Kamen the Lycanroc (Kameno-o)

Furry conventions are known to be a place to showcase the arts, and those include dancing. Alongside fursuit parades, music performances, and raves, dance competitions are a staple of the modern furry convention experience. Let’s look at how they got so loved, with memories from two deeply involved furries: Anthrocon’s long-time competition host Ronnie Noodles, and Tommy Dino, a member of the dance community.

Two ways to please crowds

Fursuit dance performances have gone from a small part of the con experience, to centrally scheduled main event attractions. Main event rooms are filled with people sitting both in chairs and on the floor to see fursuiters show off their dance skills and hype up the audience. Anthrocon, for example, saw over 80 applicants in 2025, with an estimated attendance of around 1500-2000 for the event.

Many people hear about dancing and only think of shows where fursuiters perform on stage, but there’s more to it than that. There are two kinds of dance shows present at furry events: Dance competition and Dance Battles.
