Here's one for New Moon.
There's some analogies here for the coexistence of humans and therians as well.

While I'm thinking of it New Moon, no were-wolves were hurt in this story.

Re: Wolf Research
Nemesis, I believe you were directing this information to my attention. If that is the case, thank you.
Shaun Ellis is a fascinating if somewhat controversial wolf researcher whose rather sensational antics are tailor-made for prime time edu-tainment programming. The rather interesting thing about that documentary is not the fact that he claims to have reared wolves to be essentially their wld selves, because other researchers do so, but that the documentary implies he did it without the usual team of several experts participating.
Were he a therianthrope or a human with some sort of paranormal ability (as implied about him in the show made by Stan Lee) I'd suggest that his return to his 'pack' would not have seen him sidelined down to the Omega level, but a quick return to the role of pack Alpha. Given that didn't occur I'd suspect his achievements are mostly a combination of a great knowledge of wolf behavior, an incredible level of commitment and the ability to role-play a wolf convincingly.
His training in observing wolves among Native Americans does leave me curious however. I have found some evidence that therianthropes did and still do play a role among many Native American tribes. It could be that his training came from one with an even greater insight into the lupine mind that any human can possess.
In regards to the Bad Wolf story, it does interest me, but my understanding is at this point you are still a minor, so I am hoping to speak with your parents first before seeking to get more details from you. There are ethical research practices I need to follow. I am looking to set up a call with the woman I understand to be your mother shortly to talk about her own experiences, I intend to also broach that issue with her then.
Overall, your family presents the possibility of a wealth of first hand experience with therianthropes that could further my research considerably. Were my travels not so restricted I would have liked to meet you all in person, but telecommunications are currently my only recourse.
In regards to your point about human-therianthrope co-existence. That is certainly possible and certain societies in earth's history may have made it work (there are a number of societies in which warrior castes of those who were described as being similar to Bears, Jaguars, Tigers or Wolves existed). The issue for me is the current situation in which therianthropes are seeking to secretly manipulate our political power system for their own purposes. It is bad enough that human power groups are doing this but a secret cabal of inhuman beings controlling the world is problematic on so many more levels.

Re: Wolf Research
Yup, she's a minor. And you're right, she is my daughter. I've sent the PM back with my reply.

Re: Wolf Research
Sorry Ken,
I really wish I had been around to help. I am glad to hear you got away, not everyone was as lucky.

Re: Wolf Research
I want to hear Ken's story as well.

Re: Wolf Research
Well Cyn-Cyn has been givin me crap over my spelling and stuff here so I'll try to be better. I wouldn't want her turning me into a frog or anything like that. 
Anyway I guess I'll tell everyone what happened. I don't really believe it all myself so I don't expect anyone else to either. But I've read some of the other things posted here so maybe some of you will believe it.
The wolf thing did bust in through the door and that's when I got a better look at it. It walked on it's hind legs and seemed to have hands. But it's head was definitely a wolf's. But it could speak. Unfortunately it was in some eastern european language like Russian or Polish or something.
It grabbed me and tossed me around abit. It was playing with me, that much was clear. I could feel it's strength but it was holding back to prolong things.
That's when my parents burst in. Dad pulled it off of me and I caught a glimpse of his eyes. Like a sharks!
So the wolf is howling and growling and biting and scratching but all he's doing is tearing up dad's suit. Then it see's dad's eyes and it gets scared and starts whimpering.
Mom got the good silverware out. Her eyes were like Dad's and they were yelling some crazy backwards latin crap back and forth at each other. So they take some of the knives and like stab it's hands and feet into the floor. Then they start skinning it, slowly. Poor thing was howling and I was wondering why the neighbors weren't calling the cops but neighbors never want to get involved, do they?
Thing was healing as they stripped off it's skin.
My mom turns to me with them shark eyes and she says, "GO TO BED. THIS IS A BAD DREAM."
I couldn't sleep though, not with that horrid howling and whimpering. They kept it going nearly to day break.
I came down for breakfast and mom and dad were both back to normal and there was no sign of the wolf creature. Everythign was cleaned up nice and pretty like. Place smelled like bleach. But there were those four marks in the floor so I couldn't make myself beleive it was all just a bad dream.
Sort of wish I could though.

Re: Wolf Research
First, thanks for posting your encounter, Ken. Second, thank you for cleaning up how you post.
Third, must you use nicknames? It's bad enough you have half the school using them.

Aw, was I undermining your serious demeanor here? How should I speak to a Nemesis?

I exceed your expectations.
