Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Ask Barry: What species is Barry? EX: Austailian and Pred Pride Parties

 


WT: To answer your supplementary question, the Austailian Marsupial Party is essentially what it says it is. A political party largely for marsupial mammals and Austailian immigrants and descendants of those immigrants. The party was founded shortly after the Great Marsupial Migration, or Great Austailian Migration in the 1920's, in response to the rapidly rising population of Austailian marsupials in Zootopia during that period, and have persisted since then. Basically the party largely concerns itself with political issues regarding marsupials and Austailian immigration, as well as helping fund civil projects and medical research pertaining to bettering the lives of Marsupial mammals in Zootopia.


As for the predator pride party, it's another 'does what it says on the tin' style party. It's a political party that largely focuses on predator interests and predator rights. Unlike the Austailian Party, it got it's start significant'y earlier in Zootopia's history, during the late 1800s, and it's primary focuse then was essential advocating for civil rights for the lesser predator mammals of the city in general. By lesser I mean the predators that didn't hold distinct high prominence positions like the Lionhearts. Basically your every day predators that saw themselves largely shunned by prey communities. The purpose of the party first and foremost was to act as a moral boost for said disenfranchised preds, telling them it was okay to take pride in your diet, sort of like a form of therapy as statistics would later show that suicides among predator mammals dropped dramatically after the party was formed.


These days, the party is still advocating for predators on a political level, (and mam' did they have their work cut out for them during the night howler scare), but they also fund civic projects and predator mental health programs.
