Werewolves and vampires and other dangerous creatures should all be put to death to keep the rest of us safe. At the very least, they shouldn't be allowed to run around wild like they do. Lock them all up and throw away the key! Maybe then we wouldn't have to keep reading in the Daily Prophet about people being attacked!

That's a little harsh, don't you think? I mean, werewolves are only dangerous during the full moon, right? I'm not saying there shouldn't be legal precautions, like making sure werewolves are locked away during full moons, but there's no need to execute them for something that they didn't choose.

I'm sure some Muggles might say the same about us, that we're dangerous and shouldn't be allowed to run around with wands.

I actually thought I was putting that politely, considering some of the letters to the editor that are sometimes printed in the Daily Prophet.

The difference between us and werewolves though, is that we are capable of thinking through our actions, and the vast majority of us don't run around using the killing curse willy nilly. Werewolves, on the other hand, have absolutely no control and kill indiscriminatingly. Sure, it's only one night a month, but what about the werewolves that go rogue and give up on being human all together no matter what time of the month it is? Surely it would be kinder to put them out of their misery from the beginning.

Well, those werewolves that refuse to live as humans should be arrested for any illegal behavior, but the others shouldn't be punished for their actions. And I don't think it should be up to us to decide whether executing them would be putting them out of their misery. They might not be in their right minds in their wolf state, but the rest of the time, they can make their own decisions.

	This is completely horrible. It's the same type of prejudice that purebloods spout against muggleborns. A human life is a human life and that's all that should matter. Take your hate elsewhere you coward. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They are. By the law. Just as they are protected from Dark Wizards, serial killers, and drunk drivers. Those laws don't always work, but that's the price we pay for living with free will. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Or perhaps the rest of us simply have something better to do than to admit you are right. After all, I personally would rather spend my Sunday doing anything else than having to defend my point of view to the select few who seem to think the outside world is just like Hogwarts.
