These are some of the things we werefolk talk about that are ruining the human race: over-abundance, multi-tasking, cubicles, fanciful expectations, over-population, hoarding, numerous others.
These are things that kept the human race alive for over 100,000 years, and their predecessors long before that, and many of them tie back to greed.
Greed is derived from the survival instinct, it kept humans alive throughout the existence of the race, through the hard times when humans nearly went extinct. It drives one to do what is necessary to survive.
At one point about 50,000 years ago there were only about 12,000 humans on the entire planet. Humans were that close to extinction. It was the same for most other species. Weredogs and werewolves also came damn close to disappearing, as did most large mammals.
But what kept humans alive now makes them their own worst enemies. Greed in this modern world, in this day of over-abundance and over-consumption, has led to capitalism gone amok, to people in positions of great power who have no morals other than the acquisition of more wealth and power. In the Dark Ages this led to survival of kingdoms and the birth of nations. Today it is leading to corruption and implosion.
There are now over 7 billion people on this planet. That number rises exponentially every day. No one knows if that is too many, or how that many people are going to be fed and provided for.
There is no werefolk census, but best guestimates are that there are just over 1 million weredogs globally, and fewer than 250,000 werewolves. Those are fairly small populations in the face of the issues facing us and all species.
Mankind has the capacity to turn things around, create systems and networks that feed and free everyone. Mankind also has the capacity to destroy it all, everything, everyone, everywhere. There are few weredogs who have steadfast faith either way. We simply do not know.
No one has yet any clues as to how many neos there are.
I listened to a drunk werewolf the other night babble on about how possibly the neos are the answer to this all, how their genetic drive to eliminate other humans could rid us of the homo sapien plague. Many werewolves howled in agreement, and more than a few weredogs too.
I will be in Europe for at least a few weeks. I have messages and information to deliver to packs in Europe rom Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan, where I met with numerous werepacks, dogs and wolves.
