"Do we truly condemn the ghul for eating human flesh?"
Damn right we do. They may be perfectly within their rights as a species to live on a diet of long pig, but as long as you're part of the human race, sympathy only goes so far. Understand the ghuls? Sure. Feeding is a part of nature. So is death. Fortunately, the scavenger ghuls do not present enough of a predatory threat to come to general humanity's attention.
And the wonderful circle of life, predator and prey, continues... Though I have been known to say that humans need a predator other than themselves to thin the herd, but other than microbes and viri, we're short on that. We need a better vampire.
