Bounty Paper Towels? Really? Again this isn’t a rule, it’s a marketing campaign gone awry. But let’s completely ignore that fact and get to the gist of why we think this could be a good rule if written properly. As they say, “Cleanliness is next to Godliness,” and that couldn’t be more true during a [...]
We found this video when doing a search on YouTube for Max Brooks (our hero.) After watching it, we thought it worth posting here because it does give a decent, if short, view of what the war against the zombies will be like. The only thing we don’t agree with, is the hunter character. His [...]
We like this rule and think that it’s a great one to live by when you’re trying to make your way through zombie infested lands. In order to make good time and be able to move quickly if attacked, you need to make sure that you’re not limiting your range of motion or ability to [...]
First of all, Happy Halloween. We love this holiday mostly because it allows us to let go of our inhibitions for a single day, go out and have fun. We hope you all are enjoying your day and the festivities going on around the world. With that, Halloween is a time when you do have [...]
We have very little to say about these “rules.” They were obviously made up by the producers to fill the list and market the film, and they’re both stupid. While we agree that a cast iron skillet is a functional object for both breaking skulls and making eggs, it’s not a rule, it’s a piece [...]
When an outbreak occurs it is our recommendation that you get away from civilization and the populous in general. Unfortunately this is not going to be an option for some people, especially those on the East Coast of the North American continent. So what should those survivors do when the undead rise and begin eating [...]
Well, Ralph Nader demanded them, the NHTSA suggested them, Australia started to legislate them, and every state but New Hampshire require them. Seatbelts are here to stay folks, and what can we say, they’re not a bad idea. They’ll certainly keep you from plowing through the windshield when you hit a wall going 60+ miles [...]
In the initial hours, days, and weeks of an outbreak you need to run and create an area for you and your force to survive above all else. Eventually the outbreak will either peter out, it will reach maximum density and won’t spread any further, or the outbreak area will be cordoned off by 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.
