Wolves don't eat humans unless extremely desperate, so I would expect the same of werewolves.
Humans taste like pork, by the way, only a lot crappier, because of all the bad habits humans have. Would you eat meat that wreaked of cigarettes and grease?

Well, if humans wasn't so advanced, and we roamed the woods like deer, then we would be considered food to the wolf. The human body wouldn't be filled with junk because the humans will be eating berries instead of greasy tacos.
Our place right now is higher up than the wolf. If you place the human lower than the wolf, consider yourself lunch.

Lupin is correct. There are no recorded cases of a wild, healthy (i.e. non-rabid) wolf attacking a human in North America. Except under very specific conditions, like the Sawtooth Pack, who were extensively socialized as pups so that researchers could watch them as closely as possible, wolves instinctively avoid contact with humans.

I think some kind of timelime would come into play here.
A just bitten WW would not be able to resist hot, rushing blood coursing through the nearest lifeform, human or not. It would be a matter of bad luck on the human's part, that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
More mature WW with finer control over their abilities might go with their "human" nature. If they were inclined to cause mayhem before they were turned, they may choose to do so after. Gentler natured folks might choose to hit a buffet before latenite lycanthropy.
..Or would the need to feed be part of the werewolf's condition?

human eating?
i think we did this already, but do you think werewolves eat humans.
i think normally no, but like in the dark ages or times of famine i think WW would go after the only food source available, humans. i think WW would go for people that already died like dig up graves or eat hikers that died of heat exhaustion, fall, or what ever. I'll bet a werewolf hunting a live human would be pretty rare.
i don't think its cannibalism they're canine and we're primate.
if we did this already, i couldn't find any topic like this. so don't bite my head off. please!

Re: human eating?
I tend to disagree. IMO, they will always be more human than wolf, so I consider them to still be primates (who just so happen to be able to turn into canines).wolf marine wrote: i don't think its cannaiblisim they're canine and we're primate.
I really don't think cannibalism is that big of a deal. Don't get me wrong, I'd hate to be eaten. I guess I'm just de-sensitized, what with all the cannibalism going on in my community.
But to address your question, yeah I think werewolves probably do eat humans on occasion. I wouldn't mind some human chewing by the wolves in Freeborn, that is, if one of the wolves is the antagonist.

It could be, that young -born- werewolves might not consider themselves human. This could lead to issues of morality layter on in its lifetime. ;) *chuckles*
But there could be an issue amoung the werewolf culture that forbods the consumption of human flesh. The 'justice' for this woul dnot be half so severe as say a human court would apply, only because werewolves are now no longer purely human. They changed beyound any humanly biology and could have some strange 'urges'.
What makes a "werewolf" difeerent from say a "Mad dog" is that they don't eat human flesh. They are "far to civilized" to do such a thing.
On the other hand a repeat offender would likely sign his or her death warrent, because then it beomces and issue of protecting the "secret". They become a threat to the freedom that being a werewolf -is-.

Hmmm...this came to mind.
Wolves can eat up to 20 pounds in one sitting. (Real life fact) What about a werewolf in wolf form? Can he do that? What would happen if the werewolf shifted from a wolf to a human with 20 pounds of food in his stomach?
Big belly?
To be honest, I think a werewolf would eat just enough to satisfy its hunger. Or would he?

A werewolf in wolf form could probably eat just as much as a regular wolf. And yeah, he'd probably have a real big belly if he tried to shift back after eating.
Either that or he'd .

Well if it's the second one, they'd probably eat just enough to get full.To be honest, I think a werewolf would eat just enough to satisfy its hunger. Or would he?

Though I sometimes love the little juicy mentions of eating humans, thats just a fantasy of mine, something to doodle when I'm pissed, not something I want to see a real werewolf do and not something belonging in Freeborn.
Lets see, morals? I don't stab people I meet in Kroger because I'm better than that, and a werewolf would too. I think a werewolf is only going to kill for the same reason a regular human may, which is most likely self defense.

I'm pretty sure we've already covered that this is what would make all the difference. Some werewolves choose to be evil, possibly because they dislike humans or they take great pleasure in that typical Hollywood savage killer image (some people really do treat being evil like some sort of fashion trend), so no Pack could ever go without ever having to deal with a troublemaker.Trinity wrote:On the other hand a repeat offender would likely sign his or her death warrent, because then it beomces and issue of protecting the "secret".

There may have been packs at one point that fancied themselves as human hunters, but the likeliness is that, in today's paranoid and information-highway driven society, any packs that felt that way would have been eliminated by now. The only werewolves that could still be alive today would be those that think less of of rising up and more about blending in.
There's a possibility that a werewolf may have to kill a human to defend themselves or the anonymity of the pack, but while eating the body to dispose of the evidence might be a possible option, I think that would be the absolute last resort, and the one that every self-respecting werewolf hopes they never have to resort to. It'd be more profitable for them to either kill him via a single claw to the chest or across the neck to mimic a knife wound, or just hide the body some place where it'd be unlikely to be found within a month or two so that, when it finally is discovered, it'll be too decomposed to recognize any claw and teeth marks.
