The night Maxtopians wore their wolf suits and made mischief of one kind and another their leader called them 'WILD THINGS!’ and the Maxtopians said 'WE’LL EAT YOU UP!’ so they were sent to the bay without eating anything.
That very night in the bay an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for the Maxtopians and they sailed off through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year to where the wild things are.
'And now,’ cried the exiled Maxtopians, 'Let the wild rumpus start!’

They roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and showed their terrible claws and rolled their terrible eyes until Leader Maurice Sendup tamed them all by staring into all their yellow eyes at once and they were very frightened and made him King of All Wild Things.

Werewolves brought chaos to the capital yesterday in an unparalleled night of anarchy. They constructed an illegal headquarters and ‘decorated’ it by hanging small animals’ corpses from the walls. The savages then ran rampage all over the city, hunting down pet dogs to eat.

Senior politicians denounced the werewolves as “wild things”, and sent in riot police to restore order. The werewolves then taunted the police, shouting “We'll eat you up!”. By dawn, the werewolves had been corralled in the bay area. As day broke, the werewolves returned to human form, and the first arrests were made. Before all could be arrested, a large number commandeered a boat and sped out to international waters. The coastguard have identified a large island as the place where the “wild things” are.

Opinion split by 'Wild Things’

As anarchy was brought to the capital, senior political figures condemned the werewolves responsible as “wild things”.
Others see the werewolves as victims. Werewolf expert Dr Hirsch said “Lycanthropy is a disfiguring disease. These people need a cure, not condemnation. The government should fund research to find a cure for this debilitating disease.”
The werewolves see themselves as victims of discrimination rather than of disease. One of the arrested werewolves was reported as saying, “We’re people too. We should have the same rights as everyone else. We were just celebrating the full moon. The lunar cycle is an important part of our religious identity. It's just typical of this government to crack down on minority groups.”

Opinion is also divided on the issue of how to deal with the escapees. The issue is complicated by the fact that the escapees are no longer within Maxtopian territory, and so Maxtopian law no longer applies.
“Good riddance to bad rubbish,” said a senior politician, “We need to focus our resources on the hard-working Maxtopians that remain in the country.”. There are more hawkish voices however. One senior figure said “We need to hunt these savages down like the dogs they are. We need to send our crack marines to the place where the wild things are.”
