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 Dawn and Vern; Cross Political Party Allegiances

 

Dawn: Oh, actually it's not all that uncommon...the issue at hoof is which party the candidate is representing the majority of....which usually tends to whittle down to Preygressive or Preditionalist.

Vernon: Granted a few third, forth and fifth party folks will run from a purely outsider position, but usually it'll break down to maybe two er' three candidates total to pick from....er' at least the ones ya know got a real shot at winnin'...

Dawn: As the candidates sort of whittle down, the parties whose representatives didn't make the cut will often choose to endorse one of the leading candidates who align most with their own interests. And if said candidates agree with those endorsements, they'll often take on the party title as a...well 'sub' party.

Vernon: Naturally, the Tundratown candidate would have a vested interest in also supportin' the Pachyderm Party...considerin' she's a member of the elephant and general Megafauna family.  Even if the Pachy Party has less chance of winnin' over a more general public candidate. But a Preygressive candidate who also understands and wants to help Megafauna would overlap interests with both.

Dawn: Technically there's no limit to the number of parties you can associate with...which can make it pretty confusing, but on the other hoof it does require you to pick a candidate that you feel most represents your values, and what values you feel Zootopia should have...which means doing research.

Vernon: Somethin' most folks hate doin' when it comes to votin'...*Chuckles*

Dawn: That's how you get a Lionheart...*Giggles* well that, and lots of financial backing from the 'right mammals'.
