Getting your gear together and being prepared to run is important. Having escape routes out of your home, apartment, office, or where ever are excellent. Knowing multiple ways to get out of town is awesome. But all of those things are worthless if you have no idea where you’re going. We’ve talked in the past [...]
It should go without saying, but it doesn’t. Most people don’t prepare for emergencies until those emergencies are occurring. These same people may have done all the studying on any possible emergency. They may know that they should have bottled water stored in the case of an earthquake, or that they should have a fire [...]
We’re finally at the end of the list! (We just checked to be sure.) Today’s rule is “Swiss Army Knife.” It’s another one of those items rather than rules, but unlike “Bowling Ball” this is one we actually find useful. Swiss army knives are great little items. They have a lot of simple tools that, [...]
Yesterday we discussed your plans for getting out of the city and on your way to safety, but before you can start that trek you’ll need to get out of the building your in. So that’s what we’re discussing today, how to get out of your house, apartment, office building, etc. House If you’re at [...]
When faced with a zombie outbreak most people think only of survival and planning for the future. But what is that future worth if you don’t stop sometimes to consider the beauty of the Earth and everything civilization has provided for us so far. Life is a precious thing, and a zombie outbreak makes it [...]
You want to have a plan in order now to ensure you know what you’re going to do if an outbreak occurs in your area. Over the next four days, we’re going to go over our plans for getting away in order to provide you with a template for preparing your own escape plan. In [...]
Here’s another rule we agree with and disagree with all at the same time. While we do think it’s important for you to keep an awareness of your surroundings in general, we don’t think that driving is your best option when a zombie outbreak occurs. Cars and basically any motor vehicle are dangerous during a [...]
The Viral Zombie Threat Level: Red The virus that causes zombification in a human being is often referred to as Solanum. Though no known natural occurrence has ever been recorded, there is also no verifiable information linking the virus to human research as well. First described my Max Brooks in “The Zombie Survival Guide,” Solanum enters the [...]
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.
