• Fur Reality has cancelled indefinitely due to the pandemic.
  • For attendees who did pre-registration back in 2019, check your email for the next upcoming days, as the furcon will send refund instructions – direct refunds could not be made due to the ‘old age of the transaction,’ according to them.

  • For both attendees and vendors, you can choose to have either a full refund or donate your fees to the convention.
  • Fur-Eh! says their next event will take place from 14 to 17 July 2022.
  • With that, in Canada, cases are starting to rise, with 3,454 cases as of 20 March.

• In other news, Biggest Little Fur Con recently announced they will be held in October instead of June.
  • The deferment came as the furcon says it is ‘increasingly apparent’ that circumstances would not be in their favour by June.
  • In BLFC’s state of Nevada, we have 263 daily cases as of 20 March.

And here are online event updates:

Building up on positive news, amid stable COVID-19 conditions locally, Australian furcon Fur Out West became the first convention to successfully hold their physical edition this year. It was held over the weekend from 19 to 21 March.

The furcon says these were done in line with local regulations, and additionally hand sanitizer bottles and a reusable mask were included in every con bag.

Fur Out West has hosted a variety of panels, dance parties and a fursuit walk.

Out of their attendance cap of 170, a total of 165 attendees turned up inside their convention space – 5 did not turn up. The furcon also said there are around 6 to 8 more furries outside the space as well.

The furcon also has donated $12,707.40 AUD (US$9,762.52) to their charity partner Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre.

A look at Australia’s COVID-19 situation tells us that conditions locally are coping well, with 9 new daily cases as of 20 March.

With that, we have 30 furcons cancelled, 2 deferred, 88 to hold this year and 1 furcon completed.

现在，我们有一些兽展的最新消息即将发布。

首先，鉴于当地新冠疫情情况，欧洲和美洲的兽展取消了今年活动。

捷克兽展ČeSFuR取消了今年的活动。

进入美国，Anthrocon取消了今年的实体活动。

接下来，Fur Reality近日因疫情而无限期取消。

该展表示，这些都是按照当地条规实行的，另外，每个礼包里都包有个洗手液瓶和可重复使用的口罩。

在其170已注册的与会者中，有165名亲自出席了会展空间，剩下5名则缺席。会展空间外也有大约六到八只毛兽参观。

该展向他们的慈善合作伙伴Kanyana野生动物康复中心（Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre）一共捐赠了12,707.40澳元（9,762.52美元）。

从澳大利亚疫情情况来看，当地情况应付自如，截至3月20日，日增病例已共有9例。
