Editing my post to add that. Here's hoping that any dogs he had are going to a better place than he is now.Fausty/Spink died about a month ago.

Awesome, I'll look through this a little better tomorrow. Maybe the bestiality farm he had access to was spinks?Not to use reddit as a main source but as I was digging for information I found these.
https://www.reddit.com/r/yiffinhell...ite_owner_of_furrynetwork_and_baddragon_also/
Given the source was Deo on twitter it could be complete bullshit but I heard rumors of Varka having ties to a beastiality farm for years. I think Herpy.net probably counts as one even if they don't directly fuck lizards, if only because the create content catering specifically for reptile fucker wannabees.
Edit: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Herpy:_Reptile_Lovers'_Community
Wikifur on Herpy. Apparently Varka also first announced Bad Dragon on the Herpy forums. I'm not familiar enough with the site to be sure as to whether it was simply a scalie-based furry site or explicitly a site for posting reptile porn. Potentially both; anyone else know?
https://threader.app/thread/1103148071465017345
Another "interesting" source, talking about other zoophiles who worked at Bad Dragon.
Growly wasn't an artist IIRC, he was a fursuiter who managed to be close to con staff and whatnot. He got rediscovered around 2017-18 and arrested shortly after that period after he kept showing up to cons despite being outed a decade ago and being jailed pre-9/11 even.Daniel Llamas/GROWLY/Tora - Furry Artist - Buddies with 'Neer. Not a dogfucker but rather a kiddie diddler who was charged for raping a 14-year-old. Was found out by Dragoneer after getting outed as using FA to meet kids in the fandom and extorting them for nudes. 'Neer bitched and cried about having to ban his friend.
That 4chan thread also contains some of the backstory behind the Drakkor video, and some insight into how it got leaked in 2007. The video itself is clearly watermarked as being intended for Brian "Athus" Dyer. This was done in order to keep him from spreading it and to control the number of copies in existence. One of the 4chan posters asked him about it via private message on FA, and posted the conversation after Athus's death in 2011. (It starts at post # 1110391 in the linked thread.) He mentioned that seven other copies existed, each with similar watermarks for their intended recipient. Obviously that didn't stop it from getting out anyway.
If anyone wants to help me gather as much info/proof about all this BD stuff (and a thing pertaining to exotic erotics too) to do a long, advanced write up (and possibly get it published online somewhere) I'd greatly appreciate it.
I've got all this info bookmarked but I need to go through some of the stuff in the generic furry drama general thread, which I believe had archives of varka mentioning spink helped him with start up money.
Looking at the thread again but who is BleuColt again? According to ShaneAlexander's LJ posts he's the one whose family owned the farm where this shit happened on, but I can't tell if he was a member of Bad Dragon himself or just buddies with staff members.Growly wasn't an artist IIRC, he was a fursuiter who managed to be close to con staff and whatnot. He got rediscovered around 2017-18 and arrested shortly after that period after he kept showing up to cons despite being outed a decade ago and being jailed pre-9/11 even.
You're forgetting a few other zoos with ties to Bad Dragon as well. Athus had his name listed in the infamous dolphin video before he was killed in a car wreck. There's a good write up on the backstory of the dolphin video as well here.
An archive of the thread includes leaked DMs and Athus describing how it got leaked circa 2008. Furries constantly gave him shit over that video and he lost his top secret zoophile wank source from it.
As for other BD zoos there was Kamo (the target of an infamous LJ post series including one part about an alleged Bad Dragon animal sex party and an old Twitter callout post) and here's an archive of the Herpy thread where Varka discusses plans for casting in the OP. Herpy is now "excluded by request", something archive.org is famous for doing and a telltale sign that someone might have something to hide. The only reason this isn't the most common knowledge is that Bad Dragon is super popular and does a great job of sweeping bad PR under the rug.
I also remember there being a lot of controversy on Tumblr a few years ago about the quality of the dildos they were producing, with marks and bits of (sharp) plastic mixed in with the silicone according to some reports. Not sure how many screencaps survived Tumblr's NSFW purge or on Bad Dragon's delete-happy forum runners but there should be something still around.I'll look around and see what I can dig up about BD, cause they really do deserve a thread. There's a lot of shady shit besides the zoo stuff, including stealing designs and making shitty products for a custom dong that can cost over 200$+ . I know they had a dolphin dildo but it was removed after the dolphin vid dropped.
I hate my state. You get all the creepy fuckers coming out of the woodwork online.Post edited to add a bunch of new (actually mostly very, very old) players. Also added an organization/site section for places of interest.
Sure a lot of dogfuckers in Arizona, huh.
@Rat Lord I thought I was safe but looks like Varka and Sprink decided to make their VPN not far from where my relatives live so I suppose degeneracy can be found lurking anywhere.I have some stuff that's changed hands many times over the last year or so. It was mostly anonymized before it got to my hands, except for one or two instances. I can also tell there's stuff I don't have, just by the file names. Maybe this will convince the source to come forward with what they have.
The person I got this from told me that Rae Van Damme is a former Bad Dragon employee.
Douglas Spinks, as we all know, is the world's most famous zoophile and owner of CrossSpeciesAlliance on twitter. Spink allegedly helped found a VPN with Varka.

Varka could admit to everything and furries would just go "It's good you're trying to do better, now please sell me a Varka dildo so I can use it on my dog".Not to PL or be degenerate, but I've bought from them a few times over the course of a couple years (before I knew about all this), and the quality of the items had gone down considerably, and I've gotten wrong things like firmness on customs and they just go "lol too bad"
Their CS is garbage too.
A lot of the Tumblr anti BD crowd was bat shit insane so I can't help but shy away from a lot of Tumblr stuff regarding it.
Sad thing is furries won't do shit about it. They'll continue to buy from them even with the most henious details brought to light as long as they get their plastic dog cocks.
You forgot about Christian Stewart Oscar Nichols / Eliteknight who was in the zoosadist group and was behind the video shown in the op of this thread. He was arrested in Florida and charged with animal cruelty and possession of obscene materials.*Asterisks mark new/amended information.
Not under spoilers because of formatting troubles.
Edited to add a bunch of shit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Persons of Interest
Jigsaw- Deepweb Zoosadist - Made a load of content involving the torture of animals, specifically by inflation with water. Used a lot of snakes and other similar animals. A lot of his content was shared around on 8chan and other sites. Recently proclaimed he was leaving animal torture 5eva and that he has deep regrets about what he did or something.
Joshua Hoffman/Kero the Wolf/Yami the Wolf - Telegram Zoosadist(?) and Youtube Furry - Used to date a furry who was outed post-mortem to be WhiteShep1, who apparently introduced him to the telegram zoosadists. Not into the torture stuff, apparently, just a necrophile and dogfucker.
WhiteShep1/Lilsheppypaws - Telegram Zoosadist and Beastforum User - Fucking dead from overdose, rest in piss. Dated Kero and introduced him to the zoosadism telegram. Was a frequent poster on bestiality websites and places like Animals Nightmare.
Levi Simmons/Snakething - Telegram Zoosadist - The guy who was providing videos of torturing animals to death for sexual purposes and was caught grooming his nephews for underage sex acts, with intent to "give" one of them to Sangie/James Hoyt I believe. Currently in jail for being a freak.
James Hoyt/Sangie - Telegram Zoosadist Associate and Owner of InkedFur - Furry Raiders public enemy #1 or something. Known kiddie diddler, Sangie and Levi conversed long and often about sexually exploiting Levi's nephews and although Sangie had shown reluctance, it was out of jealousy and not wanting jail time rather than genuine moral outrage. Wasn't actually into the animal rape/torture shit, only the kids.
Patrick Prauger/Sephius Riverdare - Telegram Zoosadist - Another animal rapist and killer. Actually made content, rather than just talked about it. Making his rounds in german dogmask gimpsuit communities and being ground zero for spreading STDs at a german furcon.
Glowfox/Philipp Arthur Valderrama Negreiros - Telegram Zoosadist - Fuck what hasn't this dude done. Zoophile/pedophile combo with allegations regarding plans to drug, traffic, and rape minors. Also pals with SnakeThing, to the surprise of fucking nobody.
Dylan P. Pleskac/Emberwolf - Telegram Zoosadist - Was into the idea of drugging dogs to make them more pliant to sexual abuse, specifically with weed. As weed is poisonous to dogs and most animals other than people, even if his intention was to make the experience less "traumatic" it still probably would've killed any dogs he tried it on. An embarrassing failure of a human being who lives as a drug-addled babyfur.
Woof - Telegram Zoosadist - The guy from cuba. Made content for the telegram. Another degenerate basically, he's the dude who used the stick covered in fire ants and posted various bits involving torturing puppies. Got outed in his home country and while no charges could be filed his reputation has been obliterated.
Nickolas Spahn/Tane/digivolve - Telegram Zoosadist - Buddies with SnakeThing. Apparently fucked a 14-year-old boy and recorded/shared it. Not into full-blown torture but sexual torture is another matter.
Akela - Telegram Zoosadist - Noteworthy only because he leaked some shit. Still rolled around with the rest of the filth mentioned above. Worked with Shadowwoof to out the zoosadist telegram because I guess the torture was too much for him.
Florent Durin/Pakyto Dingo - Zoosadist/Zoophile - Not sure if he's a dogfucker himself, but he was caught watching zoophile and zoosadist material on a video he uploaded to xvideo and he used to date a guy named R.C. Fox who was into child porn. Outed by Akela though I forget if he was in the telegram chat or not.
Shadowwoof - NOT a Telegram Zoosadist(?) - Often mistaken for Woof based on a similar username, Shadowwoof was working with Akela supposedly to expose the zoosadism telegram group and their associates.
WiggleCat - NOT a Telegram Zoosadist - Wormed into the zoosadism telegram by lying about fucking cats with sounding rods or whatever and proceeded to screencap fucking everything while gullible zoosadists word vomited about how sexy deer guts are or something.
Chris Bryant/Simba Lion - Furry Valley and Ex-Furaffinity Staff - Runs a cult server on Discord, known for doxing, blackmailing, and grooming minors; also into animal abuse (specifically crush videos) and zoophillia. Has ties to the Zoosadism telegram group (associates with Snakething), Furry Raiders (associates with Foxler), and Furaffinity (former staff member). Trying to blackmail Shadowwoof and WiggleCat with false allegations of them being animal rapists; you know, something someone who has "NO TIES TO ZOOSADISTS GUISE!!1!" would do. On the run from the bobbies for doxxing and financially dominating minors (or people he was under the impression were minors at the time).
*Simba Lion/Steve Hopps - Not Part Of This Shit - Often mistaken for Furry Valley's Chris Bryant of the same fursona, Steve "Simba Lion" Hopps was the one who shot two cops and, failing to kill them, died of embarrassment (or gunshot wounds from return fire).
Lee Alan Miller/Foxler Nightfire - Furry Raiders/Xananu Crew and Furry Valley - Currently going to court for enticement of a minor (Update as of Right Fucking Now: Two Charges of Sexual Assault on a Minor!); recently discovered to be a part of Furry Valley, though probably a new(ish) member. Also a nazi-fur. Also a zoophile. Also tied to Furry Valley and the telegram. Also known to dox people. In a feud with Sangie.
CrusaderCat - Furry Raiders/Xanadu Crew - Known catfucker. Joined the Nazifur under Foxler if I recall until he made them even more embarrassing than before, somehow.
Mischa Kurt Köngül/Canino1997 - Zoophile/Necrozoo and Blackpill Incel - Shockingly not part of the telegram zoosadist crew. Canino is notorious for writing a guide on how to fuck female dogs and hating women for not jumping on his dick fast enough. He's also very into necrophillia of both animals and people. He also "glazed" a picture of that egirl who had a pic of her corpse posted on Insta or Twitter by her killer, and then sent the result to the dead girl's mother. Canino is a real class act who can't die fast enough.
Douglas Sprink/Fausty - Beastforum User and Cross-Species Alliance - Fucks dogs and horses and won't shut up about it, especially back when he was on Beastforum. Not much to say except he's a drug-addled dealer who believes that animals can consent and that his dog is his soulmate. *Dead.
Aluzky/Aleks Salazar - Twitter Zoophile - Zetafreak who fucks dogs and posted pics. Constantly trying to argue that animals can consent and admitted to fucking other people's pets via trespassing. Also believes "pedosexuals" need to be protected or something.
Wintergreenwolf/SlytheCoyote - Twitter Zoophile - See Aluzky. Pretty much the same shit, different person I guess. Might not've committed trespassing, as if that fucking matters.
Eevee, Marl, and GlitchedPuppet - Floraverse Team - Marl was caught grooming minors into engaging in bestiality porn and was divorced by Glip; Eevee and Glip are still together, and are still engaging with their underage fans in their NSFW servers. Eevee used to work for Furaffinity as a staff member. Glip and Eevee have been dodging accusations of similar shit from their twitter for a year and a half.
Dragoneer - Furaffinity Staff - Worked with Simba, Eevee, Chase, and Zaush, among others. Notorious for covering up allegations of rape and/or zoophillia among the ranks of FA. Ran ads for Bad Dragon.
Chase - Furaffinity Staff - Dogfucker extraordinaire. Might've been the dude running the supposed bestiality farm, I forget. There were a couple other zoophiles on staff if I remember right so feel free to correct my ass on that. Hired by 'Neer to help run FurAffinity.
Daniel Llamas/GROWLY/Tora - *Fursuiter - Buddies with 'Neer. Not a dogfucker but rather a kiddie diddler who was charged for raping a 14-year-old. Was found out by Dragoneer after getting outed as using FA to meet kids in the fandom and extorting them for nudes. 'Neer bitched and cried about having to ban his friend. *Been doing this shit for decades.
*Jamie Predergast/BleuColt - A Child's Wish and Possible Bad Dragon Associate - According to multiple posts, BleuColt had a habit of fucking the animals on his parent's petting zoo, "A Child's Wish". Many of these animals died of neglect or abuse according to the person who leaked the information, who also claimed that certain (unspecified) Bad Dragon employees had visited the site for an animal fuck party.
*ShaneAlexander - A Child's Wish - Former employee who blew the whistle on BleuColt and his family. Apparently had a very difficult time getting local law enforcement to take his allegations seriously after he reported some of their own officers partaking in horse buggery.
*Jan Mulders?/Varka - Bad Dragon and Furry Network Operator - Owns Herpy.net, a site specifically catering to reptile-based zoophiles. Employs a fair number of known zoophiles and apparently wanted to do live-castings for their dildos through *Varka's beastiality farmpotentially clarified that the farm was owned by an associate named BleuColt, not Varka himself. Ran ads on FA and other assorted furry sites for years.
*Kamo/Duke/Rotti3Dog/Chico the Rottie - Bad Dragon and BeastForum User - Outed by KindKabsCorner as a zoophile, rapist, and animal abuser who posted about his rotweiller on Beastforum. Apparently Kamo warned other users against "narrow-minded police officers" with regards to reporting crimes that might expose their beastiality interest. Kamo also worked for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
*YiffDatCat - Bad Dragon? - Kamo's boyfriend (or ex who knows). Cubphile, possible zoophile given his partner.
*StripeyButt/StreaktheTiger - Bad Dragon and Beastforum User - Not much to add, unless someone digs up more about him.
*Bryan Dyer/Athus - Bad Dragon *and Dolphin Ring - Dead of car crash. Partner to Narse (dude who drew most of Bad Dragon's more famous promotional art). Was outed as part of that dolphin bestiality video that was making the rounds over a decade ago.
*Frank Sanchez/Drakkor - Dolphin Ring - Helped produce the video Athus was tied to. Now as irrelevant as the rest of the ring as far as I know, and was the only one positively identified other than Athus.
*Peter Ping/Shimrod - Dolphin Ring and Beastforum - Posted about fucking dolphins or something on Beastforum. Irrelevant for over a decade.
*Mark Peterson - Dolphin Ring? and PetLust - Owner of Petlust. Went to Coney Island and posed with the dolphins being raped by the dolphin ring crew. Not sure if he fucked a dolphin himself but I'd be inclined to assume yes.
Brandon Vongthongthip/DangerDoberman - Furry Artist - Former popufur who drew pretty realistic zoophile content before he was found out to actually be a dogfucker IRL. Was charged with attempted murder. On a human.
Zaush/Adam Wan - Furry Artist - Had sexually assaulted/coerced multiple women at conventions or in his home for sex. Attempts to out him by victims speaking publicly were silenced by his butt buddy Dragoneer and FA staff. Was also behind the Project Phoenix disaster and was known to draw bestiality/minors/incest and there is some controversy that his IRL reference pics were of actual underage kids that was possibly debunked, I forget.
The_Guron/Etheross(?) - Furry Artist - Drew extremely similar work to material created by Jigsaw down to the animals involved having the same coloration/patterns, specifically regarding inflated/exploded snakes, goats, and horses and apparently did a trade with the 'deep-web artist' who inspired his art. It's unclear if The_Guron is actually Etheross but the art style is pretty fucking identical.
Peluchin Entertainment - Youtube Famous - Tortured a cat to death and a psychopath in training. Nobody can touch him since he's a minor but with luck nobody will hire him when he hits 18 and he can die homeless and riddled with dysentery on the streets of Brazil. Not actually a zoophile as far as I know, just a monster.
Futret - Furry Musician - Old pals with fellow rapist Renard Queenston. Futret was outed as a rapist around the same time and gave the victim gonorrhea. He was also notorious for reblogging necrozoo jerk material while claiming to be a "virtuous" zoophile (whatever that means). Career is deader than the dogs he wanted to fuck.
Majira Strawberry - Furry Youtuber - Only relevant because he befriended both Foxler and Kero around the time all this shit came out. Perhaps just unlucky in that regard, who the fuck knows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Organizations and Sites
Zoosadism Telegram Chat - Telegram chat involving SnakeThing, Sangie, Kero, Woof, and a bunch of other creeps. A Telegram chat where zoosadists (and zoophiles who could tolerate the sadism) would congregate and share jerk material they'd made or collected.
Furry Valley - Discord furry cult. Owner Chris Bryant/Simba is into some bullshit but it's got it's own thread elsewhere.
FurAffinity - Furry art and media hosting site. Run by Dragoneer who, in his incompetence if not willful ignorance, has hired multiple individuals who have committed heinous acts of rape, beastiality, csa, and other horrific acts. Cub porn is banned but only barely.
InkBunny - Where everyone who was mad about cub porn being banned went. Not relevant yet but it's only a matter of time.
InkedFur - Not the same thing as Inkbunny. InkedFur is run by James Hoyt/Sangie who makes physical merch of furry porno pinups and prints. Or those fat tit/ass-based mousepads with art of people's fursonas. Or something. Shitty reviews according to Google.
Dolphin Ring - A group of zoophiles on Yahoo who were fucking and drugging dolphins on Coney Island back in the early 2000s. Were outed when certain individuals started posting their content to BeastForum.
Beastforum - A bestiality site. People go there to post pics of themselves fucking animals or jerk off to pics of other people fucking animals. Or to dox people who are fucking animals, rarely. Dead as of last year I think?
PetLust - Another bestiality site that was briefly mentioned. Started in the '90s and dead as of 2010.
Animals Nightmare - Animal snuff/torture porn site. Every zoosadist steals content from this place apparently when they aren't making it themselves.
A Child's Joy - A petting zoo in Arizona owned by the parents of BleuColt. According to the 2015 leaks posted by a former employee, hundreds of animals were killed by abuse (sexual or physical) and neglect over the years and local law enforcement were suspiciously unwilling to intervene despite claims by the leaker that they possessed video and photographic evidence.
Herpy.net - Now very defunct scalie-based art and image-hosting site. Deleted fucking everything a few years ago. Notably absent from archive sites. Where Varka first announced his plans to create the Bad Dragon website.
Bad Dragon - Sex toy company that specializes in furry-and-scalie-themed dildos created by Varka and others. Varka originally wanted to do livecasting but decided not to. As seen above, many staff members are outed zoophiles. Located in Phoenix, Arizona, same state as A Child's Joy.
Exotic-Erotics - Same as Bad Dragon but I'm not sure if there are outed dogfuckers on staff yet. Not much to say regarding specific individuals working at the company as far as I know, but rather the company itself and it's practices. They do lifecasting, which involves making casts of actual animal dicks for their products, along with other sculpted products. Competitor to Bad Dragon.
Zetapaws - Another dildo company. Doesn't do lifecasts thankfully, but they also cater specifically to zoophiles rather than just general creature/monster-themed dildos (hence the name).
Floraverse - Created by Glip, Eevee, and Marl. A multimedia webcomic story thing that has devolved into the artists crying about Kiwifarms instead of having any sort of plot. Not actually relevant aside from the people creating it being shady as hell. A lot of beastiality and rape stuff associated with it.
Furry Raiders/Xanadu/AltFurry - Alt-right nazifur larpers led(?) by Foxler. Gone through a billion schisms and slapfights because they're all special snowflakes who can't handle having anything in common with one another, despite the fact that they're all just zoophile babyfurs with an armband fetish that think they're tough guys on the internet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's so many, many more of these people documented in Animal Control and various other players involved but this is at least enough connections to make you completely lose faith that the furry fandom isn't a gateway community to introduce people into dogfucking.
Not to PL or be degenerate, but I've bought from them a few times over the course of a couple years (before I knew about all this), and the quality of the items had gone down considerably, and I've gotten wrong things like firmness on customs and they just go "lol too bad"
Their CS is garbage too.
A lot of the Tumblr anti BD crowd was bat shit insane so I can't help but shy away from a lot of Tumblr stuff regarding it.
Sad thing is furries won't do shit about it. They'll continue to buy from them even with the most henious details brought to light as long as they get their plastic dog cocks.
Thanks for the info. Post has been changed to reflect this information.You forgot about Christian Stewart Oscar Nichols / Eliteknight who was in the zoosadist group and was behind the video shown in the op of this thread. He was arrested in Florida and charged with animal cruelty and possession of obscene materials.
Shadowwoof is in fact a zoophile. He ran a Telegram group called the Zoofurries Alliance where people shared and made zoo porn.
BeastForum and it's affiliate sites were shut down because the owners couldn't pay their bills but it's suspected that it may have been because the PACT act was gaining traction at the time. They have since been replaced by a site called Zooville which is just Beastforum with a different name.
I can also vouch for shitty CS, light powerlevel and degenerecy, but I really want to shit on BD.Not to PL or be degenerate, but I've bought from them a few times over the course of a couple years (before I knew about all this), and the quality of the items had gone down considerably, and I've gotten wrong things like firmness on customs and they just go "lol too bad"

From what I got 3rd or 4th hand, I believe customer service was basically supposed to be "put the customer off as long as possible". I think Rae was actually one of the CS agents. I know I heard claims that Goldnemekh was actually given an animal-STD from Varka and I believe that was the reason they broke up. I don't remember who I even heard those claims from anymore. Never had anything to substantiate them.I can also vouch for shitty CS, light powerlevel and degenerecy, but I really want to shit on BD.
Couple years back I had ordered from them and began waiting for the product. Well the company clearly states 6 weeks is what you will be waiting at max. I contacted them at the end of week 7, no answer. Sent another email on week 8 and finally got an answer, only for them to basically go "yeah we fucked the coloring up. We need your permission to recast or refund 20 bucks and you keep the fuck up." Didn't really wanna wait any longer and would rather not continue with dodgy communication so told them to just send it and refund $20 to my account. Another 3 weeks and several frustrated emails that continue to be ignored later and they finally send the refund and mediocre dick! The only thing was... they refunded the ENTIRE AMOUNT. Their customer service is so bad they can't even handle their own money!
The dick wasn't even that great. 2 uses and the silicone already started peeling. But hey, it was free!
EDIT: spelling.
