Mississippi Anthropomorphics, shortened to MS Anthro, is a regional furry group for the state of Mississippi, USA.

History[edit]

MS Anthro, which is not related to the now defunct MAP!, was created due to the lack of an active place for furries in Mississippi to socialize by Gale Smilax and Fenix Archer in 2014. Originally, the group was mainly for furries attending Mississippi State University. Meets were posted on their website as well as on the group's Facebook, both of which were created in 2014.[1][2]

The website didn't catch on very well as the last post was made in December 2014.[3] The Facebook page stopped posting updates in December 2018 due to the lack of people using the page for attending events.[4]

General[edit]

The group was originally headed by Gale Smilax, who ran it until July 2016 when she moved out of the state. The group's leadership was transferred to MEDS,[5] who ran the group until he moved to Texas in 2019. After MEDS had taken over the group, he reorganized the group into a state-wide furry group rather than being specifically for furries attending Mississippi State University.[6] He also created the group's Telegram chat in 2016, which is now the only place the group communicates in.[7] After MEDS left the group in 2020, he put Fenix Archer in charge of the group.

Due to the change in ownership, there are no furmeets hosted by the group itself anymore.

The vast majority of furries in the group live in Oxford, Starkville, and South Mississippi.
