Werewolf Hunter:

It doesn't surprise me that there doesn't seem to be any werewolf treatment centers save by volunteers, and by Angel when he takes over Wolfram & Hart. And once someone is dehumanized, people will do the most amazing evils on them and then be surprised when others question their innate goodness, and even take selfies of themselves doing horrible things (sometimes it being their job paid for with taxes).
Human nature is quite demonic. I dare say many sociopaths are normal people just out of synch with the rest of society and so target the "wrong people" or do so in "unorthodox ways." People talk about kids being corrupted by music and video games (though I know it's often to deflect the guilt for leaving the kids to their own devices so much rather than parenting, not to advocate helicopter parenting here, if anything the neglectful parent is probably better than the smothering one) when for thousands of years kids joined the festive adults in watching live executions (and I bet the crowds would boo if the condemned was save at the last minute by a pardon, unless another took the condemned's place). You probably revere some of these historical figures, many who did far worse than that. To think tar & feathering (which was a good way to cripple someone for life) was actually considered tame back in the days when American Revolutionaries practiced this barbarity. I'm not saying we are pure monsters or demons, but Holland Manners in the elevator with Angel was still right about humanity overall.
If anyone suddenly didn't have any rights anymore and it was not a crime to kill them...their days would be numbered, whether they were a danger or not, whether they provoked anyone or not.
And to imagine if that person was a werewolf who could spread their curse...very likely many hunted werewolves for the same reason others hunted vampires (trauma and loss). There seemed to be no real alternative until season 5 Angel (and even then it comes to light that many wealthy people eat werewolves...and I could see humanity doing that, especially the wealthy, particularly the kind that gladly pay Wolfram & Hart to handle their affairs).
