its not so much doing it for a thrill but more like supernatural racisim I personally think that has just become an excuse. The memory of Victoria Argent torturing the high school principal comes to mind. They enjoy hurting people! The supernatural angle just gives them a justification that lets them tell themselves that they're actually noble when they're really common sadists.

As I mentioned on another thread, the Hunters have a proven ability to capture werewolves. They could prove the existence of the supernatural to lawful authorities at any time. But they never do. Why? Because then the authorities would tell them to stand their vigilante @$$es down and leave this up to proper government. The Hunters don't want to lose their fun and games. So they are among the strongest proponents of maintaining the Masquerade, because their hunting and torturing days would be over if it were ever broken! Or because they dont wan to throw the whole world into a chaos and panic where everyone questiosn if there next door neighbor is a human or some supernatural creature that wants to eat your face. The hunters have been shown to have connections so it wouldnt suprise me if they had a few people in the higher ups of the goverment.
