"Yes, but as you said, they only change once a month, no more, and even then, wizards have created a potion that lessens the effects, Wolf's Bane."  
PostPosted: Sun May 22, 2011 11:57 pm
"I honestly agree with both of you. They are wizards just like you and me and they are muggles as well. They try to fit in with everyone else and even despite their transformations they have managed to remain docile creatures. For example the werewolf Remus Lupin has been a werewolf since his Hogwarts days but he was able to control it by having a secret place to transform, and he was on Wolf's Bane. He never killed anyone and never harmed a soul until he transformed while trying to turn in Peter Pettigrew. He hadn't taken his Wolf's Bane and that was the only time he transformed in front of others. Therefore not all werewolves are bad."

"Yes, but once transformed he (Lupin) could have killed everyone in the area. What about Fenrir Greyback? A werewolf who is know to try and infect as many people as possible! Not only that, but he prefers to attack children!"

"Greyback is a different cause entirely and he is the one that changed him in the first place. Greyback rolls with the Death Eaters so yes those that choose not to take the Wolf's Bane are in fact considered to be cold-hearted killers. Lupin never meant to harm anyone therefore he was still docile, and from what I can recall he had Sirius Black to hold him off just like he did back in his school days. The marauders were all unregistered animagi, but James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew all did so in order to protect Lupin from hurting anyone...in other words he was domesticated."

"I agree. Being a Werwolf is not what made Greyback evil. It is his run-ins with Deatheaters that did so. Even if his Werwolf abilities do help him to harm people, he would have found a way to hurt people just as much as he does now even without his Werwolf form."

I agree with Jenna, Greyback would be sadistic even if he wasn't a werewolf. Plus people just don't choose to become a werewolf. It's not their fault ,and in my opinion, they shouldn't be penalized by something they just can't really control.

"There is such a thing as a killing curse...not to mention the other unforgivables. He could easily use those as a Death Eater even if he wasn't a werewolf. Some just choose to go bad so thinking about that since most don't have a choice it was wrong for Umbridge to not allow them jobs, or for kids to no longer be enrolled in Hogwarts just for being a werewolf. You shouldn't place a label on someone on something that they can't control."

Okay, if this wolfsbane potion rendered them completely harmless, and was easily available there would be no new werewolves. Yet we continue to hear of new cases. This disease can only be spread through a bite, so there must be some who refuse to take the potion, or maybe the potion is hard to make.

((This is really hard to argue anti when i am pro, I don't believe that a whole group should be judged by one persons actions, so noone hate me over this, it's just an assignment smile ))

"There are muggle werewolves too and they don't have Wolf's Bane that one can buy over the counter like at a drug store. It's not some pill a doctor can prescribe you and take...If a muggle changes they would have to accept what they are and accept wizarding help."

(ooc title for class needs to be updated cause there isnt really info on the debate just the defination of a debate on page 6
also i saw nothing of this in the first page where the class work and home work are but i still want to participate so to make things fair img oing to choose the i hate were wolves even though i dont)
*starts with the hating*
"there are many reasons why a werewolf shouldnt be allowed in normal society 1 is they are a danger to every one around them
2 is their disesae is uncurable
3 is they are unpredictible
4 they look very grotestec and we dont normally allow the other grotestec creatures like hags to mingle in our every day life
5. werewolves that take the wolfsbane potion are even worse than those that dont take it the reason being that they are normally excused from there actions by the account of being under the influeence of a horrid disease but the potion lets them have their mind back meaning they are fully aware of their crimes of butchering humans indangering citzens attacking muggles witha magical creature that they can do nothing to defend agaisnt and spreading disease and causeing terror to those around them

Jewel listens to the debate. There are really good points being thrown around that she has difficulty choosing a side. "Well..." She begins. "Since there is a remedy for avoiding the worst of the effects than it shouldn't take long until we find a cure for werewolf-ism." She blinks. "Is that a word? Nevermind." She continues. "As for mug- I mean humans turning into werewolves then I guess we'll just have to help them or they can lock and chain themselves up somehow, though I doubt that has worked very well in the past."

Sits back and realizes that James has made several good points about why werewolves were bad news and couldn't argue with any of them.

"Still James not all of them are bad...alas some of them actually are. I think entirely that the classifications are both fair and unfair...that's right now I'm saying both. They are fair because they are dangerous and have been known to kill and bite both wizard and muggles alike, thus also spreading the disease, but it's also unfair because there are werewolves out there that are trying to control their monster urges by taking the potion and it's unfair to them when they try to find work or when they try to fit in with everyone else. There is no cure so it shouldn't really be held entirely against them, but yes they are well aware of their killer instincts and know very darn well if they killed someone on the last full moon.

Both sides are right in their own ways and that's my final standby on the subject."
