      Good luck. The furry community is primarily a US thing, so a lot of the major furry companies are American. I’m sure there are more, but the only two companies off the top of my head which aren’t American are Nomad Complex (Canadian) and plushlife (German?).

      One of our only unique, nearly fully home-grown cultures is gonna get wrecked by a madman trying to wreck the world’s economy. :c

        “Furry companies” is a strange concept to me. The furry community relies largely on individual makers and artists. And sure, the US has the most Furrys at ca. 1/3 of the global community, Europe comes second place at 30%, according to this source: https://expertbeacon.com/how-many-furries-are-in-the-world/

        United States – 34% 
        
        Canada – 18%
        
        Europe (UK, Germany, Nordics) – 30% 
        
        Asia (China, Japan, Australia) – 13%
        
        Latin America – 3% 
        
        Africa & Middle East – 2%

          What would you call artist collectives like Hyena Agenda, Nomad Complex, Bossmonsta, etc?

          Edit: I perceive a “company” to be someone who’s business has grown large enough that they have their own site (instead of going through Etsy or someplace else) and are working with more than 2~3 people.

        Yeah, it’s infuriating for everyone, it also excludes a lot of people overseas who suddenly can’t know if their order is going to be wrecked by unforeseen costs :(

          Bad dragon is probably the most well known. When I think of a company, I think of someone who’s gotten big enough that they have their own site as opposed to going through Etsy or something similar. The ones that come to mind are Nomad Complex, twin tail creations (I think they miiiiight be Canadian?), Hyena Agenda, Bossmonsta, creep cat toy company, Weasel Gear, plushlife (EU), weighted wildlife, donut moth (no longer around afaik), zero remnants…
