A lot of comments find fault with wesen actions and activities. They are considered barbaric with Monroe and Rosalee being used as examples of how wesen should act.
For the sake of argument as to right or wrong. Lets take the blutbat desire to hunt. when they hunt animals it is considered acceptable. Hunt humans it is considered barbaric. But why is hunting animals Ok, we consider them a lower life form. Even if the life form was a trained primate with the ability communicate. It would still only be animal abuse. Now her is the argument. Compared to wesen we are the lower life form. we are weaker, they are at the top of the food chain. If we applied our logic for why it is ok to hunt animals. would that not justify wesen being able to hunt humans. It is this argument that humans are a lower life form then wesen is the bases of BC's fight to take control. Even if wesen became a minority. All wesen would not be agreeable to some of the wesen practices. People like Monroe who see a problem with hunting humans. his objection functions on a couple of levels. The major one is his aversion to killing. Even though he has the mental capacity to do so. The other is on like all other life forms. Wesen and humans share the ability for cognitive thought. This give them the ability to develop a conscious. A conscious that is in opposition to their wesen instincts.
Take hexenbiest and their need for revenge. Simple example step on their feet they remove your head. They con do this because they do not view the act from a more primal position. This is not such a strange concept. There was a time when people would fight duels to settle some injustice. Not only would it not be legal now it would not be accepted. That just goes to show even as humans even we have primal urges. You want to see primal activity in action. Go to a bar, go up to the meanest guy in there and talk about his mother. Now tell me how would his reaction differ from what we see hexenbiest do.
That bring me to the final question. Does being considered evolved mean being domesticated. Does it mean suppressing all of our primal urges. The big question we where given this for a reason. It is why as a species we have survived. Without these urges would we be able to survive. This is the first time when pacifism is preferred over aggression.
I for one prefer to live where violence and death is rare. But like using the earth resources. It this actually sustainable.
