Howard Stern Show interviews several attendees at Anthrocon 2011
I don’t know who their cast member “Wolfie” is interviewing – the “furry” has a heavy accent.
This “furry” describes his experience as a zoophile.

Wolfie At Anthro-Con. 06/27/11. 8:50am
After the break we heard some prank calls the guys had Evil Dave Letterman make to a public access show. Fred also played ZZ Top’s ”I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide” as they were coming back.
Howard came back and said he’s bad but he’s not nationwide. Then he said he is nationwide. He said not everyone has satellite though so maybe he’s not nationwide. Robin said everyone could get satellite and get the show so he is nationwide. Howard said he can imagine playing that song on guitar. He said if he had any musical talent he’d be playing it for Robin.
Howard said he knows it’s getting late but he has to get to this. He said there’s a thing in Philadelphia that’s called the Furry convention. Gary said it’s called Anthro-Con. It’s about dressing up like furry animals. Howard said these people are into furry outfits. Robin said they had an episode of CSI about this.
Howard said they sent Wolfie out to the convention. He said it’s not just 20 people. He said there are a lot of people and they have a parade before the convention. Gary wadi said they say there were 6,000 people at the convention and 1000 in the parade in costume. Howard said Wolfie said there were a lot of gay people there but not all of them were. Howard said that he was also told it was in Pittsburgh, not Philly.
Howard said these people dress up like their favorite animal so he’d probably dress up like a dog but he is becoming a cat person. Howard said he’s so glad they took in these two cats. He said they love them and he’s become a cat person.
Howard said Wolfie ran into a few people and you might think they’re kind of weird. He said some of them go 24/7 in their costumes. He said they’re Anthro-morphic and they have some kind of disease.
Howard played one clip where Wolfie interviewed a guy with a heavy accent and he was talking about furry porn and how he has like 10,000 images. Howard asked who gets into this kind of thing. Wolfie asked what the best way to clean semen off your outfit is. The guy had an answer for him. The guy said his semen is hard to clean when it’s wet so he waits for it to dry. He said he uses water to clean it after it dries.
Wolfie asked the guy how he got into that lifestyle. The guy told him he was into watching sex with animals. Then he came across the furry outfits images. Howard played more of that and the guy was talking about how he has had sex with dogs. He said he likes German Sheppards. He said they are very obedient. Howard said this guy has no shame. Howard said Wolfie is in shock right now after hearing all of this.
Howard played more of the guy talking about how he has sex with the dogs. He said he’s only done two. He said that he lets the dogs fuck him in the ass too. Robin said she had no idea the guy was letting the dogs fuck him. Howard said that’s got to be against the law. Robin said it’s definitely against the law. Howard said they have to lock this guy up.
Howard played more of the guy talking about how every person and every dog’s semen tastes different. Howard said this guy was a gold mine. He said that Wolfie should have brought him in there. The guy was saying that he had tasted a friend’s semen and it was sweet. Howard said there can’t be anyone better than that.
Howard played another interview Wolfie did with a guy who said he’s into his own species which is fox. Howard said Gary was telling him that they are so serious about this that they stick to their own species that they dress up like. Howard said this is no joke. He said this country is going down hill. Robin said they get in groups and lay around like animals would. Howard said this is psychotic. He said he’s never heard of such a thing. Robin asked if there’s a way to get off this planet.
Howard played more of that interview and the guy was talking about how he has masturbated to furry porn. He said it’s no different than Star Wars fans masturbating to that. Howard said they should all be locked up.
Howard asked what kind of convention this is and where the police were. Howard played another clip of a guy who dresses up like a cat was talking about what that’s like for him. Howard wondered if people are going to become trans-species. He said that he’d take a lot of pleasure in that. Howard said he’d love it if Cher’s other kids morphed into animals.
Another Furry was talking about what his parents think of him dressing up. He said they’re not happy. He also claims that he goes to work dressed up like an animal. He works in a restaurant so Robin wondered if he has to wear a hair net. Howard said that would be a fur net. Howard said he can see the day when people turn into cats and dogs. He said he’d like to see that and see them able to marry others.
Gary said he was looking at the list of what’s available to do at the convention. You can go to a panel for ”Are You a Werewolf” and some other things like that. He said they have a Husky Meet and Greet. He said there are a lot of weird things like that. He said you can go to class to learn how to be a handler. Howard said they have one called ”Flea Collars, Are They Safe.” He read that list that Gary was reading and they had a bunch of strange things like that.
Howard read some rules about how to approach these people. The rules are the same as they would be for animals. You approach them from the front and don’t scare them. Howard said that they had etiquette for the elevators too. He read about all of that and talked about how nutty the whole thing is.

~Facepalms~ He has no idea what he is talking about. People wearing their fursuits 24/7… Howard Stern is the worst person to be talking about this.
This can’t be good…
How the hell where these interviews cleared by the staff?
stern is on satellite radio, so more less anything goes, sadly.
They weren’t. This is what happens when people talk to unbadged media.
Or, perhaps more accurately, sensationalist schlock jocks who make up crocks.
Are you saying they made up the people they interviewed?
Stranger things have happened. If someone can’t even get basic facts about the convention right, that makes them _less_ credible, not more.

Howard is kinda backwater. I’m gunna take this as a sign that /this/ sort of coverage is dying out. There’s been a lot more good, and more widespread proper news coverage about the fandom, thankfully.
Uh…. Like what, exactly?
http://www.hartfordadvocate.com/news/ht-hell-hath-no-furries-20110409,0,4204659.story
Places that’re less interested in shock value, mostly.
http://www.wtae.com/news/13632162/detail.html
ugh. howard’s really scraping for stuff to talk about if he had to get at furs now.
Just… a thought, but can anyone confirm if these were actual furs, and not plants? It’s just something I wouldn’t put past him
these was real furrs, i just happen to be one of the rejected interviewers because i wasn’t giving them what they wanted in terms of shock value!
Slanderous lies.
The unfortunate thing is, none of this was a lie – Stern was getting this information from furries. He was making assumptions – many untrue – but the damning portions of the interview was the information given up by the interviewees themselves.
None of this was a lie? We had 6000 attendees and 1000 people in the fursuit parade? Really?
Sorry, you can’t just cherry pick out the inaccuracies and then try to portray Howard Stern as some bastion of responsible journalism. That makes you look even more gullible than his listeners are.
The statistical error is what worries you the most?
It throws the remainder of the coverage into doubt. If he didn’t bother to get accurate figures for that, maybe he didn’t bother to give an accurate picture of furries either. It really isn’t hard to figure out that 6000 is an unlikely number, even if you just check prior years online.
I believe the errors become trivial for three reasons. First, looking at WikiFur’s entry, even with their reported numbers of 4,734 attendees and 854 fursuiters (which isn’t that far from 1,000), it’s still the most attended furry convention by far.Second, you say the Stern show “didn’t bother to give an accurate picture of furries.” But, the interviewers asked questions, and they received answers without any indication of duress or coercion. True, they could have incorporated “appropriate” responses, but if you think about it, if ALL they had were “appropriate” responses, then they would be forced to used them, or not run the story at all. But no, attendees gave them the colors to paint with, so to speak.
Finally, haven’t we been here before? Did furries not cry foul after Furry Weekend Atlanta? That radio station made similar claims, and they, too, had interviews with attendees. And yet, what is theme for FWA 2012?
As much as I may hate to admit, I can’t discredit the story.
One artist may interpret a situation quite differently to another – and as you say, you can only paint with what you are given. However, being given the whole spectrum but tossing the other colours out is a choice. It’s not as if they were just being given shades of red to paint with.
Don’t put words in my mouth. The false statement that “none of this was a lie” is what I took issue with. Anyone who does even cursory research can prove Howard Stern was making things up and has zero credibility.
All of the people interviewed here are all fake. The questions and answers are specifically based around shock value, just so that Howard Stern can go “OMG SUCH FREAKS!”. Honestly how does this guy keep getting funding?
We’ve heard independantly from a few attendees that were approached by “Wolfie” from the Howard Stern Show. These are actual Anthrocon attendees according to them.
I would say that either A: he got fed up with finding people who slapped him after he asked them about yiffing, and got a fake OR he kept asking unti; he fund this one sick fuck, who since he will be easily recognized by his voice will be kicked out OR some fur was just fucking with him.
And you’ve based that on what?
LOL.. Hey there Kwipper
Wow I could barely listen to the thing, wonder how this slipped through the gauntlet.
Like most interviews of this nature, I suspect the guy approached the furries in an area outside of the convention center. It’s not hard to pick us out of a crowd.
Thankfully Howard Stern isn’t relevant anymore :3
Between 3 and 4 million daily listeners – I think that’s still relevant. He still has a very active following.
More like a very _gullible_ following…
Oh SNAP!
I think someone needs to find out who this guy is and he needs to be kicked from AC. This guy really put us in a bad light. I couldn’t even finish listening to this
Okay…? Furries into bestiality…..and? All furries are either zoophiles or in denial anyway. And being open and honest about your lifestyle is a common trait among furries. Annnnnnd this is Howard Stern. Don’t expect NPR style reporting of an event(especially one like AC) from him.
fuck you. fuck you so, so hard.
i don’t know what planet you live on but please stay there far away from the rest of us.
Actually, there’s quite a few of us who are into the fandom that have zero interest in the sexual part of the fandom. My boyfriend is hot. I want to see his abs, and kiss him, not cover him up in a fursuit to have sex. The suits are just for running around and having fun in. Its a persona and a character, and being a DJ for me personally, its a performance thing.
There are sexual deviants in ALL scenes and no, not all furs are “zoophiles” or in denial.
Liked. So hard. <3
Speak for yourself, sicko. Drawing animal people for fun does not mean I want to have sex with animals.
this is just fucked up
I love how this makes news, but the zoophile who got thrown out of CaliFur doesn’t even register as a blip on the radar.
I was at CaliFur, and that is news to me…
It’s people like that who make me want to change my fur name. I think i eventually will. It’s became too common of a name anyway.

There’s my take on it. Quite similar to how many others here feel about it.
Depending on where the guy they interviewed is from (and what the laws are, there), has he possibly confessed to a crime by doing this? o,o

If “Wolfie” was an actual registered attendee of Anthrocon, I am sure they will figure out who he was and ban him from the con. However, it’s likely Wolfie hung out at one of the other con hotels and interviewed people there.

The first “furry” guy they interview sounds like a plant. The accent sounds really fake.
Actually, I thought he sounded Greek…
Oh, and you did notice how many people called in? Only two throughout the entire segment.
I doubt Howard’s audience was shocked by this interview, his show has always revolved around sex.
Still I hope this furry will ratted out and ID’d soon. Our fandom still needs to send the message to all furs that if you brag to the media about your fetishes and sexual habits you wont be welcome at any convention or furmeet.
I wish furries wouldn’t brag about their fetishes and sexual habits AT conventions or furmeets, period.
Why the hell would Howard Stern care enough about “making furries look bad” to have “plants” at Anthrocon? “Derp derp CUZ TEH SECKS SELLZ!”? Because there’s seriously enough people that are going to give two shits about furries to make sensationalizing them worthwhile.
Get a grip, people.
You know that these people have no idea what the fuck they are talking about when they open up with CSI. They don’t even bother to look into this but they just make an assumption about the sexuality. They aren’t all adults, there are many teens. No one wears a costume 24/7 and there is no fucking way their “interviewee” is real, 1 his accent is ridculously fake, and 10,000? I’m pretty sure there is mayb e 50 fursuit porns ever made ever, unless you went back to ancient rome on valentines day. And if he means images, thats also pretty damn absurd since the entire works of David Hopkins is barely a third of that, and Jack is the one of the longest webcomics ever.
He wasn’t talking about furry porn videos – he’s talking about just the art. Howard Stern and his flunkies assumed he was talking about videos.
The big deal here is that a furry opened up to a stranger – a radio interviewer – about his fetish – one which the majority of the furry community frowns on.
The furry in question is suspected to be from the Netherlands.Now, as far as wearing their costume – again, it is assumed this guy is in fursuit – he’s not – he was wearing a cat tail, cat ears and a collar. While the “cat guy” was talking about wearing his stuff at work, I know quite a number of furs who wear their tails to school and wear their collars to work.
I wouldn’t say that the guy who got interviewed came from the Netherlands. The accent isn’t right, by far. I should know as I live in the Netherlands and recognize the Dutch accent which in this interview is not the case. I’d say try Norway, Finland or Sweden as their accent comes pretty close to that of this guy.
Ok Now I know Howard Stern is just lying, cause I’m pretty sure he interviewed a furry once, and It’s just a coincidence he says that you couldn’t be a cockroach this asshole is just lying. Oh, and the reason you don’t have an intern whos a furry? take a wild guess asshat!
Eh, maybe he just forgot. Either way, that line made me smile big time. XD
I do believe that I shall punch this man if I am ever presented with the opportunity. That is all.
that “heavy accent” is so fake. “TEHN TOWZAND.” seriously? ive heard this accent before…but…it sounds fake to me. whatever this “heavy accent” guy is…fake.
lol Howard Stern. i dont listen to you anyways.
Honestly, I can’t say anything that was said on that episode surprised
me. Sure, the European fellow went way too far into his animal lusting,
but after three years of attending conventions…come on, now. Funny
enough, I was rather surprised when a jackal acquaintance of mine said
there were “speciesists”–those that are more attracted to one (fursona)
species over another. Guess he really WAS right…*shrugs*
All this “furry sex” news is SO old I don’t think anyone fucking cares anymore. If you’re going to rat on us at least come up with something new?
Someone please find out who the dog rapist was, where he’s from and if illegal there report his ass to the police.
how do you decide that he is a rapist? your an asshole obviously though.
Yeah, interview/report on the few sickos while the rest of us whom AREN’T fucked in the head get a bad rep. Nice job, asshole.
ITS OVER 9000!!!
Wait is this guy in suit? Hes talking.
The media will ALWAYS find the worst, most disgusting examples and use portray them as the norm. This is how the media works and always will work.
Why oh why do they always interview the freaks. That first guy was a real nut job. Guys like him just re-enforce the stereo type that was brought on by CSI.
Then again I’m sure that Wolfie hand picked the worst cases possible to create a stir. He probably interviewed 20 to 30 furs before he found what he wanted.
And with a name like “Wolfie” I’m sure he is a closet fur, a bit of a troll but still a closet fur.
…im seriously outraged at this…..only interviewing the most extreme case….tch..and that first guy was he drunk?…people need to learn that not everyone is the same!

stern sounds so clueless in this. obviously he didn’t even care to goodle what a furry is. he has no clue.
You would think by now I would be immune to this BS after being in the fandom for about 8 years. This shit just makes my skin crawl though and is the main reason I have to keep my fursona and RL unassociated.
*headdesk* This made me laugh so hard xD
This annoys me so bad. That guy may as well have said he rapes small children, likes to set fire to old people and fuck cars while he’s at it – hope that guy gets hunted down and banned from everything possible and arrested for raping dogs.
that is not the same thing dumbass, you can’t compare animals to children, because well they are underdeveloped and most importantly they are HUMAN children! Fucking your car is just as bad? I’m only picking on this comment because I’ve heard multiple people say it’s the same thing to the point of annoyance when raping a kid does far more damage then setting a thousand dogs on fire with gasoline… while you rape them.
I must be the only one who doesn’t give a shit. I don’t care if his audience is 1 million or a billion. He can talk all he likes, and find as many people like that all he likes. Howard, the people on his show and probably half the people on this board including me can go fuck themselves for all I care.
I love how so many people are trying to out this guy. Guess cause it’s easier then going after Howard Stern. I’m sure a bunch of trolls finding out who he is and calling him an asshole will somehow fix what you all consider real problems that I’m pretty sure he never asked to have in the first place.
People are afraid of what they can’t comprehend so they speculate. They half the time don’t know two shirs about wat their talking about so technically there talking out their ass lol
