No Where To Run, No Where To Hide
The question is often asked, “where do you run when the zombies are right behind you?” One of the easiest options a person can use in determining the safest places to go is to look at a map of the planet at night (see above.) Where ever there are no lights, thats a good place to get away from the masses soon to be turned.
Now, viewing these maps you’ll see that Europe and most of North America are veritable lightbulbs, with few dark areas. In the event of a zombie outbreak it is easy to foresee these areas will be quickly overrun by the fleeing citizenry.
For this reason we recommend that the people living in those areas prepare to defend their personal territories above all else. Get in touch with your friends and neighbors. Create actionable plans that will be quickly and easily implemented in case of an outbreak.
Above all, test and train your neighbors to react wisely and quickly. Perform random drills and repeat them often enough that they are drilled into everyones’ mind allowing them to react on instinct.
Start stocking up on any non-perishable foods (ramen noodles, canned foods, dehydrated or dried foods, etc.) Make sure you trade out older stock before it goes bad, and make sure your storage plans are optimal for the items being stored.
Get armed. In the U.S. this will be relatively easy. In areas like England (where even the Katana is outlawed) find alternative use weapons that will go unnoticed by authorities. Gardening tools are an excellent choice, and homemade options (potato guns, etc.) are also viable options.
Above all else, make sure that someone is monitoring the news on a regular basis and disseminating any possible outbreaks to the group. Set up an area on the zombie forum on this site to discuss and talk about what you’re doing and how you’re planning. Get involved with other groups that can help you, and that you may be able to assist.
Hold regular meetings as well. Make sure you regularly discuss your current readiness state as well as upcoming plans. Go over what’s been said in the news, and review any scenarios that could be a zombie outbreak in disguise. Consider what you would do if the same thing happened near you. Are you prepared for that particular scenario? If not, come up with plans for it.
The number one rule is to Be Prepared. Keep an eye on the Zombie Threat Level and always know that an outbreak is imminent and do everything within your power to ensure you are ready for that eventuality.

There seems to be a great deal of confusion on whether or not zombies will attack animals, and if they do, will those animals become infected, simply die, or go on with their lives. As this video shows, some types of zombies will indeed attack animals that enter their vicinity, but this is not always the case.
Some types of zombies will indeed attack an animal, though those same types will typically attack any warm or moving object. Some types of zombies will only attack certain types of animals (e.g., mammals but not lizards,) and some types of zombies will only go after a human being.
To make this a little more straightforward we have come up with the following lists to help you in knowing whether or not your family pets are safe.
Zombies that Will Attack Animals:
Zombies that Will Only Attack Humans
- Chemical Zombies
- Nano-Zombies
- Techno-Zombies
- Other Miscellaneous
To understand how to identify each type of zombie, please click on the links above and review the various articles. This will advise you on how to identify your zombies, and find out whether they are a threat to only you, or if you need to protect your pets as well.
One important item to note when reviewing the articles, not all zombie types can be spread to your animals. So while you may want to protect Spot from being eaten, if he does get bitten, you do not necessarily need to put him out of his misery.
If your pet/horse/cow/sheep does receive a bite, and you are unsure what type of zombie you have encountered, the safest option is to put the animal down. We understand that this is difficult (nigh on impossible for some.) We are pet owners and animal lovers ourselves, and to have to put down your own animal is one of the most difficult decisions one can make, even if it isn’t due to an infected bite from a zombie.
That said, the infected pet is no longer the loving, caring creature you have shared time and adventures with. If not now, then soon it will turn into a vicious, ravenous creature with only your death in mind.
If you cannot bring yourself to put your pet down, and you have not been able to identify the type of zombie bite it has received, you have two options.
- Have an acquaintance do the dirty work for you. Do NOT let a friend do it. It will ruin your relationship completely. You will always question your decision, and if a friend has to put down your beloved pet, you will forever look at them with that question, and that anger. Make sure the person you ask is someone you either don’t like, or don’t have a close connection with. It will change your relationship with them as well, but it’s less likely to ruin a friendship. Ironically, it may even lead to a stronger connection with that person.
- Lock the possibly infected animal up and monitor it over the course of several days. An infection that can spread to an animal will show its signs within 72-120 hours (three to five days.) If your pet is still its same old self after that time, you can consider yourself reasonably safe and release them.
NOTE: We cannot stress enough how dangerous, and frankly stupid this option is. Primarily, keeping a potentially infected animal locked up for up to a week can cause issues of its own. What if you have to move because of a coming horde? What about the animals natural biological processes and the necessary cleanup? Where can you keep a horse locked up that where you can guarantee it won’t escape, break free, etc.?
Additionally, there is no guarantee that even after five, ten, or even 100 days that your pet is guaranteed infection free. All creatures have different resistances to infections. Your chihuahua may be naturally immune to the zombie bacteria, but can still pass it on if he bites you. The only way to guarantee your safety from your pet is to put it down, no matter how difficult the decision.
To be blunt, it’s you or them. In a war against the zombification of all humanity your pet may become collateral damage. It’s sad, it’s difficult to come to terms with, it’s your only guarantee for safety.
In the war against zombies, animals are often caught in the middle. Many people are forced to abandon their pets when they go on the run. Even more are turned and have no recollection of their family and friends, much less their pets.
While some animals are trained to help humanity against the zombie threats, many are left to fend for themselves and have been known to become a danger in themselves. Feral packs of both dogs, cats, and even escaped zoo animals have been known to roam urban wastelands after an outbreak.
For these reasons, we recommend that if you are a pet owner and you realize that an outbreak is occurring, please do something about your pets. They will not likely be able to make it through the outbreak alive, and may even become a danger to you and your survival group. We know it’s difficult, but it may become necessary.
