Anthroverse Vice Chair forced to resign, retract false claims in Mephit Furmeet zoophile coverup.

Admission of wrongdoing from the top of a furry convention.
It’s rare to see consequences when leaders abuse power. Here’s a result of investigation by Dogpatch Press into networks for animal sex abuse, how zoophiles can use the furry community as a front, and how leaders corruptly hide them. This investigation has expanded across multiple furry conventions, including Mephit Furmeet in Memphis, TN, and overlapping staff at the newly founded Anthroverse in Ohio.
- (October 2025) Mephit Furmeet put one of the world’s most infamous zoophiles on stage to represent the fandom.
- (June 2026) COVER UP: Why is Tanta of Mephit Furmeet and Anthroverse hiding zoophile corruption?
The reporting exposes a decades-long pattern that hasn’t been addressed until recently. The pattern began to emerge in 2025 with community protest about a notorious zoophile spokesperson. (Charles Alexander Berry, AKA “Toggle Rat”). While Mephit Furmeet management looked the other way, Toggle attended for at least 13 years while interacting face-to-face with management, on their stage and in official con promotion.
Further digging led to evidence that zoophiles WERE management, according to staff lists from the convention’s own website.
When the evidence couldn’t be refuted, they tried to smear the reporter to bury it. Mephit Furmeet management spread false rumors to staff in common with other cons. It leaked out when the Vice Chair of Anthroverse openly lied to 120 followers. The attempt to manipulate public trust wasn’t credible, and then Dogpatch Press was vindicated for reporting what they don’t want you to know.
