Jesus 'Chuy' Aceves woke up one morning to discover another one of his family's cats has been murdered.
Then on his way to work at a Mexican building site, he was howled at by strangers who jeered at him, calling him names like 'satanic beast', before whipping out their cameras to take pictures of him.
This is a normal day in the life of the 'Wolf Man' who became a world-famous circus performer whose entire face is covered in thick, black hair.
His entire family of 30 are all covered in the same dark fur as him - and cruelly shunned in their home town of Loreto, north-west Mexico, because of it.
