The problem is that even though they are not all that uncommon, they all live in Hoboken. The crime aroudn there is so bad that no one notices the extra deaths, and anyone trying to find them gets mugged way before a werewolf gets to them. Good luck.

Since you don't take crap, then let me offer you a piece of advice. The term "werewolf" just isn't used anymore. (Too much bad horror press - and the fact that nobody will take you seriously). The closest thing you might find is something called a "plushie" or a "fuzzy". These are people who feel more comfortable in social situations if they are "disguised" as animals. In some cases, that means dressing up in a costume and parading around a public place as an animal. Never done it myself, but it seems like it might be kind of fun. There are those people out there who will tell you that they are one of these "werewolves" you're looking for, but I wouldn't place too much faith in what they say. Odds are, they more likely to be starved for attention than anything else.
The idea of the werewolf goes back to the middle ages, when afflictions like rabies and mental illness were common. The scientific term for werewolfism is lycanthropy, and it is actually a form of mental illness in which the sufferer may behave in an animalistic way, much like a dog. Medieval records are full of tales of these poor unfortunates, but as far as I know, there has never been a case in which a human being actually transformed into a werewolf. (Although I have met a few people who looked like they might be capable of it) Further feeding the werewolf myth are the tales of feral children raised by animals. Though there was a reported case of this as recently as the early eighties, it is doubtful that wild wolves would "take in" a human child. Whether we like it or not, we're food to them. A clearer truth may be that the lost child happened upon a group of formerly domesticated dogs and followed them around because they felt familiar and safe. (Kids will do that.) And then, of course, we have Hollywood's version, and everything that came after that is no longer considered legitimate research.
There is a small group of people who feel a sort of deep animal kinship with creatures like the wolf, and they may idolize or try to emulate the wolf's behavior, but this is a far cry from calling oneself a werewolf.

no offense, but I thought there's no such thing as werewolves. I mean, the only closest type of wolf that I know of (well, this type of species isn't related at all to the k-9 family) is the wolverine. Now, that animal you don't want to go near. This creature can attack just about anything the size of an elk. But if there really is such a thing as werewolves, please let me know. I'm fasinated by animals and even ones that either are real or aren't.
