Werewolf Quote of the Day ...

In the olden days when all the land and wealth was owned by a powerful few it must have been a great benefit to be a Shifter. I imagine what it would have been like to be a poor tenant on some rich landowners land, barely getting enough to eat. Yet at night the poor person could change into a powerful predator.

I picture the werewolf sneaking into the flock of sheep and selecting a nice plump one and making a kill. If the werewolf had killed the sheep while he or she was in human form the penalty would have been death. But as a ravening beast the Were could kill with impunity. It would be obvious a wolf had killed and devoured the sheep. No human would be suspected.

The next day there would be meat in the pot, and no one the wiser. It would provide a survival advantage for the Were and his or her family.

It would also provide the stuff of myth and legends about the savagery of the rapacious werewolf. But can you really blame someone for using their advantage to take what would never have been given freely to them? To fill the bellies of their hungry children and obtain precious protein, that is why the werewolf killed farm animals in the olden days. Not because they were mindless vicious monsters.
