I dunno, I think some werewolves would be in favor of blowing up the moon, actually. I can see the werewolf rights movement splitting into two factions over it. There'd be the ones in favor of it, pointing out the benefits not only to themselves (and they prefer to be called lycanthropically challenged, by the way) but to the world at large, thanks to the amazing fact that the moon is what causes the Earth to tilt on its axis and somehow, magically, Earth's axis being perpendicular to the plane of the eliptic would mean year-long, worldwide Spring, not unchanging seasons with it hot at the equator and cold at higher lattitudes as many scientists previously thought.
Then there would be the werewolf separatists, who balk at anyone calling lycanthropy a 'disease' and argue that blowing up the moon is just another tool of oppression used by the dominant non-werewolf power structure to try to subjugate werewolf culture and force them to assimilate.
The latter group would have protests and marches with a lot of shouting and slam poetry. The former would write articles for magazines and go on TV, bemoaning their lack of progress resulting from divisiveness while simultaneously calling the others 'extremists' and taking pains to ensure the audience understands that these guys don't represent the 'mainstream werewolf movement.'
Then it would turn out there's oil in the moon and instead of blowing it up, the U.S. invades it, only to find out, trillions of dollars worth of defense spending later, that it is, in fact, uninhabited.
