Need a Global Catastrophe

Went to a packing meeting last night. New meeting place. Not sure I like it. Too much exposure, but lots of meat. I went with Caitlyn, who has become very well known in the pack, despite her youth and size. She, I and Warin are going east this weekend to meet with surveillance teams on Missouri who are watching puppy mills.

There was some growling at the meeting last night, disagreements over how certain things should be handled, such as the mills, JSOWTs and regular patrol teams, and overall views on the world and on humans.

Some weredogs think that what mankind needs is a global catastrophe that would shake humans out of their collective self-absorption and corruption, not to wipe out the species, but to get you all back on track. This attitude is based on the belief that things have gotten too easy for humans, who have become way too numerous.

I don't, myself, subscribe to this belief. but I know some weredogs, and a whole lot of werewolves, who do. It is a fantasy that goes way back for werewolves, that an asteroid or geological event would slam the legs out from under mankind, forcing them to reexamine their priorities and pack perceptions. And you have to admit, humans seems to harbor this same fantasy. Look at all the books and movies about the demise of man, zombies and asteroids and aliens and viruses that wipe out the human race or come close to it. Waterworld is one of Jack's favorite movies. When he and the boys watch it I can always tells they think it would be a glamorous adventure, staying alive in a Waterworld future. Yeah. Right.

It has happened before.

Another big change is that the pack now includes werewolves. This is a result of the new and recent era or collaboration and alliance between weres in the interest of fighting the neos. Even though I am in love with a were, I still get edgy around them, strange werewolves, and tend not to trust them.
