we are

I read a bit about them just now, and I’m doubtful that they could be real for multiple reasons.

Firstly, they are described as “North American werewolves”, but,,,, werewolves very much exist in North America. At first I thought that maybe people were witnessing an actual werewolf and mistook the shape of one’s head for a dog, but then I read that these Dogmen are bipedal. And the shifters I know of so far are not bipedal or as aggressive as the dogmen, but I do know that it is believed that there are different types of werewolves, and that maybe there’s only one type in the very small town that I live in.

“An issue came up with someone saying they are both lycan and werewolf. No, you can’t be both. It’s one or the other. A werewolf has different genes than a lycan. They are mutated, a lycans genes are not. Which is why the hormone is unstable in werewolves. No I don’t mean lycans are perfect, or better than werewolves.”

Just like all other creatures, your spirit has to learn to trust and understand you. Meditate on it, try to find your sense of focus and just feel for it. It may not work the first time, but eventually you’ll be able to meet your spirit and strengthen your bond, which will later ensure that you learn control easier. It’s awesome that you’re already working on this - I didn’t meditate for a long time, and let me tell you, procrastinating it is a bad idea.

They are a big problem where I live! I’ve seen them kill elk and not eat them, I know ranchers that lose livestock to wolves. The woman that cuts my hair her and her husband have a small acreage with a few cattle, last winter they lost 8 of their cattle to wolves game and fish went out to their property and killed 9 wolves on their and their neighbors property.

Yeah. Wolves eat other animals, be it wild or domesticated. If you leave cattle unatended then you really can’t expect to get them all back alive. To be honest the “wolves kill for sport” argument is getting really old in this debate. They don’t. I must also say you have seen some pretty uncommon things if you have on multiple occasions witnessed wolves kill elk and leave the carcass. Did you stay around to watch how that carcass finally perished as well? 

Wolves do surplus killings. It’s not rare and it’s not any worse than single kills. Also, surplus killings is not something that wolves practice most of the time, but rather when prey is weak, or with domestic animals that lack the ability to defend themselves like wild prey making them easy kills. 

The reason wolves do surplus killings is, again - not for sport, but because the situation allows them to get a large amount of food while useing relatively little energy. It’s kind of like when you buy food on sale and store it. Allthough the wolves might not eat the animals right after the kill, it is proven that they will come back to the carcasses as long as there is food left.
