2-It seems like that would be something that became common knowledge through Humans studying Faunus and conducting surveys. Qrow said that there's still a lot that scientists don't know or understand about Faunus....

3-...so that indicates that scientists have probably been trying to understand and gain knowledge about Faunus. They've probably been studying them, conducting surveys and experiments, maybe even dissecting them (hopefully not murdering them for the explicit purpose of dissection). 1-I seriously doubt M&K know what Whiskers actually do though. If someone has whiskers, they're useless whiskers.

2-Common Knowledge is not always correct though. For example, "Arthur pulled Excalibur from the stone, thus proving he was the rightful king of England". Except, that sword was a completely different sword in nearly all versions of the story - he got the actual Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake.

Not to mention, that he was king of Britain, not England, and his kingdom encompassed Brittany, both facts generally downplayed or ignored. In fact, in older versions of the tales, he was said to have fought the Anglo-Saxons who named Britain "England" (Land of the Angles), and some scholars even theorize that King Arthur was Welsh.

Oh, and extra trivia, the Holy Grail is 1) Not said to be Holy, and 2) Not a cup, and 3) Most Arthurian tales have nothing to do with it. The Holy Grail first appeared in "Percival, The Story of the Grail". Not Holy Grail, just Grail. And, it appeared as a freaking Dish. And most Arthurian tales are older than the inclusion of the Grail.

...Yet it's "Common Knowledge" that Arthur was King of England, that his tales had the Grail as a frequent theme or subject, and that said Grail was a Holy Cup.

So....yeah, Common Knowledge =/= Correct Information.

3-Human Experimentation is a crime against humanity, is it not? And when people say Human, they mean Person, no? Experiments on Faunus make sense in the way that it would drive home how humans didn't even see them as people before.

However, if Faunus Experimentation was a thing, I'm pretty sure the WF would've gone violent much sooner, since it basically means Humans are happy to experiment on them like lab rats, as if they weren't sentient, thinking, living beings like humans are.
