When Weredogs Go Bad

This is one of those taboos weredogs are not supposed to talk about, even amongst ourselves. But it happens. Rarely. But it does.
When it does it is dealt with, that dog is dealt with, by other weredogs, usually his or her own pack, “with extreme prejudice.”
That may seem harsh. But it is necessary and has always been our way.

So when or how does a weredog “cross the line?” Opinions and attitudes on that have been changing. Many have said, over the past couple years, that I have crossed a line, with this blog, and in several other ways. But I am still here.

Werewolves often deal with their own. But when they do not, and their transgressions have brought harm on humans, then weredogs have traditionally dealt with it. When weredogs cannot deal with the situation, then that is when the waerwulfas or the varans intercede.

Varans, sometimes called Varangos, deal with dogs and wolves who cannot be dealt with by their own packs, or by any other means. Few survive a visit from the Varans.

Were justice is an ancient logic of which human used to subscribe. Until only the past several centuries justice was dispensed amongst people by monarchs and the church, often working together. A small caste of enforcers, who usually were also warriors, soldiers, dealt with the transgressors. Courts were few, and controlled by royalty and clergy.

The concepts of egalitarian law, and international law, are very new to mankind. Dogs are split on their efficacy. Some say they lead to inaction, that order requires strong leaders with absolute powers. Others say that equal rights or all is essential for the future of mankind, canines, for the survival of the planet, and that the United States really is based on equal rights for all. But all agree that often it does no seem that is the case.

So, who decides crimes, the lines to be crossed, and who metts out punishments, are at the heart of packs and civilizations, their survival and legacy.

All I know is that I do not want another visit from the Varans, and do not want to come to the attention of human justice and enforcement authorities. No thank you.
