How do i disable werebeasts

Lately, when I'm playing dwarf fortress, these werebeasts have been ruining my fun. I can't seem to even make it hardly more than a year before one of them comes by and bite/scratches someone or several people during a full moon. What can I do?

Sometimes I manage to catch the name of the victim in the combat logs and i banish them or put them in a little walled off room. Sometimes i cant or i just dont wanna go through pages of combat logs to find out. Or there's several victims of the werebeast. This creates a cascade effect where every month more and more werebeaats turn and have to be killed. Yesterday, I had a fort of 100 get attacked by one werehedgehog. In less than 6 months, that fortress had a population of 40. So, I started a new one.

I tried to set the werebeast settings to 0 in worldgen and that did nothing bc that was the werehedgehog fort world. i have also heard that werebeasts are individuals cursed by a god. so now my current world is being played on year 50 instead of 250. Hopefully, that means 200 years less of curses.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Thanks
