Greetings

I am new to this group and this is my first posting,
hence do forgive me if my mannerisms are incorrect.

I have watched and read on this subject for a few days
and I wished to make a couple of comments. Since I am
responding to several comments in the last few days
please be patient. 

I would like to say that I have quite a bit of
experience with real wolves; I have had several full
blood wolves as well as part wolves that I have raised
and cared for. While a werewolf is not exactly a wolf,
it is indeed part wolf. Hence, there are a few things
I would like to point out about the nature of a wolf.

Wolves do not normally seek out humans, in fact they
avoid human contact for the most part (in the wild
that is). I believe the same is true for werewolves. I
believe that most of the time a werewolf will avoid
contact with humans and will only seek out humans
under extreme circumstances. If a werewolf is among
humans when he changes he has no choice, which is
probably why most werewolves are loners and do not
have the tendancy to stay in one place for too long or
get into a relationship.

As to the idea that a werewolf can purposely seek out
humans to kill or turn. Let me say only one
thing...pit bulls. A dog can be trained to be vicious
and to fight a specific enemy, all it requires is the
right circumstances and a wounderfully lovable puppy
can turn into a vicious killer that is out of control.

As to magic and its effects on werewolves. Magic does
not effect a werewolf much the same way that rain does
not effect a duck. Werewolves have a natural immunity
to many magical spells, do to their very nature.
Although just as a duck and rain, enough water can
kill a duck...enough magic can kill a werewolf. If a
werewolf were succeptable to magic, would it not be
that most people would simply wave a wand and turn the
werewolf back into the human form or simply put them
to sleep until the werewolf returned to its human form
naturally? 

A werewolf is a creature that must live its life no
accepted by anyone. It is not accepted in the magical
world because it can not be controlled by magic nor
can it be cured by magic. It is not accepted in the
non magical world because it can not be controlled by
the non magical means, but it can be killed by non
magical means. A werewolf learns quickly that it
either has to hide its true nature or kill to defend
itself and survive. 

A werewolf will kill a human, magical or non, when it
feels threatened... and unfortunately this means that
if it sees you then it knows you know about it, hence
you are a threat. A werewolf does not kill a human for
food, infact they eat primarily smaller game such as
rabbits, fish and fowl. Rarely does a werewolf kill
anything larger, due to the fact that it will only be
able to finish one meal. Unlike what some have
suggested that the werewolf will gorge itself so that
it will have nurishment until the next cycle, the
human portion of the werewolf still exhists so while
it may indeed be hungry for fresh meat...it is not
starving or desperate.

I do appologize if my comments are a little wordy, but
I have studied not only wolves but werewolves to a
great extent and hope that my little bit of knowledge
is useful.
