Because some people make hsunchen the same way human are. Many forget that it is not only a pet, but more. Would you mate with your pet or call it brother ? I do not see every thing that humans do or are applying to hsunchen. For example why should hsunchen lie, or steal from each other? Is this good towards the pack ? Why should hsunchen because they look like humans also act like them ? The argument that people descended from hsunchen are no more animals than anyone else is not an argument for me since I think hsunchen are intelligent animals (the awakened type) born into human bodies. When they leave their animal society they also lose their animal spirit (I think this takes some generations). And I see hsunchen much more than humans. To come back to Jane William's Telmori menses : Why should the two-legged Telmori have the same menses as the wolves? Perhaps they are different from Orlanthi women (as I would say they are) but certainly not the same as the she-wolves'. At last they are not animals, as David noticed before.
Make you hsunchen as you like them, my will never become humans !
