We did a bit of travelling over the holidays, as most Americans do, visiting family and friends across the nation. Some flew, some drove, and some simply walked, but all of us saw some problems with travelling if an outbreak were to occur. So we began to think, what would we do if there were [...]
So we finally took the time to watch the film “Fido” this weekend. Offhand it was an enjoyable film with some interesting things to say about the world, and how we fit into it. However, as a zombie film, it seemed to be lacking some. The premise is that in the course of a doctor’s [...]
Yes, it’s true. There is a man on Twitter talking about living through an apparent zombie outbreak in the Miami area. While he is currently the only one reporting anything about the apparent outbreak, there is nothing we have been able to find that would expose this as false. We must note, however, that “Gus” [...]
The zombies are loose and you’re holed up in you redoubt. You’re safe and protected by your cohorts and compadres, and the walls between you and the undead. The power is off to save the battery life, and your food supplies are ample to make it until the crops come in. Now what to do? [...]
Hollywood has always had a love affair with zombies. Since the dawn of the Silver Screen zombies and the undead have been depicted in all their infamy. Yet, with all the work that goes into these films, the producers, directors, and writers almost always get the facts completely wrong. In the past Hollywood correctly had [...]
The Bacterial Zombie Threat Level: Orange Bacterial zombies are an interesting breed. Typically slower moving than almost all other zombie types, they are still considered an Orange Threat level due to the virulence of the strain. While the strain itself is extremely communicable, the zombies themselves usually don’t last that long. Due to the way [...]
Humans are social creatures by nature. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, of course, and one of the important survival options during a zombie outbreak is to surround yourself with trusted people. But in these days of digital communication, where more people are connecting online than in real life finding and meeting people you [...]
The handgun is one thing that everyone should have close at…uh…hand…when dealing with the zombie threat. But as with the shotgun, they should not be your weapon of choice. Handguns are excellent for close up encounters with the undead, but only extreme experts have the accuracy to use them at the long ranges suggested when [...]
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
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.
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.
