From a totally unbiased point of view(although I AM a horror fan)....IF werewolves were real(they might be) they COULD retain an element of human rationality to their thinking. They COULD also go completely feral and bestial. I understand White Paws thinking over the baby eating thing. If the were is a feral, cursed, monster that feeds on humans, gross as it may seem, a baby is human, so.... DINNER IS SERVED. Its all ifs and buts. My personal mental picture of a werewolf has always been something, wild, and savage, not necessarily evil, but certainly cursed. I have however started thinking of it in a slightly different way after reading the 'Bitten' trilogy of books. The idea of werewolves keeping a sense of rationale and humanity after a change makes for an interesting story. But these books also allow for the fact that they can be overcome by an urge to hunt or even(in the case of Mutts) prey on humans, not just for food but for fun.
As far as I'm concerned, that covers all the bases and with that in mind I'm WELL happy. Horror and an intelligent drama can co-exist.
I think good and evil werewolves COULD exist in the same society, just as we have good, pure, clean living people living alongside the vilest child harming serial murdering scum. We have to be open minded.

They are a figment of various imaginations. What they "would" do is centered entirely around personal opinion. Again, stating their behavior as fact makes no sense.And I will maintain the opposite. Even thogh werewolves would be unatural to begin with, they would exibit wolf instincts, even in the most primal and blood-raged state. The only creatures that eat their own offspring are insects and other forms of SMALL animals. I do not think werewolves would fall under this category, even if they are pure and utter bullshit.
Two stages in a life form that has evolved that way is vastly different from taking two serparate creatures and expecting them to merge.Caterpillars turn into butterflies.
Water-dwelling tadpoles turn into land-dwelling frogs.
The thought of an animal changing into something that looks different isn't that far-fetched.
Rabbits will eat their own offspring if they become stressed/nervous after birth, but then rabbits were created by a divine being.Anything that's a product of evolution wouldn't eat their own offspring, as that completely defeats the point of procreation.

Stressed or nervous had nothing to do with it.

It all comes down to ones perception of a werewolf.
If you go with the EVIL, BERSERKER kind of werewolf, this thing is OK.
If you go with the Lateral thinking humanesque kind of werewolf, then obviously IT isn't going to wash.
Its a personal thing and no single person is right or wrong.

And you said "Anything that's a product of evolution wouldn't eat their own offspring" which is wrong.
The instinct part did.Did it come across that i was ring to put that out as a fact?

It's all getting a bit confusing. So. Can we start from the beginning??

Still wrong. That's a seperate point. The point I was making with that, should be fairly obvious since I stated it quite plainly:"The thought of an animal changing into something that looks different isn't that far-fetched."Night Rain wrote:So this elusive point is...You've missed the point.

I merely wish to know why some people think a werewolf would eat her own young. I want a reason, damn it! Give me a bloody reason!
What's the point in reproducing if you're only going to chomp your offspring?

I think some believe the whole "Eating their own offspring thing" becuase we have been taught, well some, that werewolves, vampires, anything of the occult, is bad and scary. If it's bad and scary, it must do bad and scary things right? And then some beileve that werewolves eat their young becuase of their "nature". Becuase they are feral and wild. But that is not true. Many feral and wild creatures don't eat their young, they care and protect them. That's just my opinion on this matter.
