$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')f I had dogs, I would probably just turn them loose. I figure they deserve a fighting chance at survival as much as anyone.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ayoob', 'A')s long as you can feed them, keep the dogs. If you can't, kill the dogs.

Who would eat my little guy to the left here? He's all dark meat anyways...

Am curious what dukats pic was now, people are so easy to offend. I wouldn't eat dog, too much chance of parasites and accumulated toxins (them being high up the food chain).

My old man would quietly dispatch any cats that came into our yard and bury them by a tree (he loved the native birds), which i hope to improve on by suspending the corpses in wire above my chicken run. Corpse = flies = maggots, which after eating their fill drop to the ground to .. feed the chickens. Only prob is smell might draw foxes.

Dogs are very tasty especially you are very, very, very... hungry But I never would like to eat my dog. It is too old !!! (16 y.o.)

[smallpoxgirl]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Laughs_Last', 'G')o kill and eat your neighbors dog, not your own.

You tried CAT?

[eastbay]

It takes very little imagination to figure out what that guy'll be eating post-peak... lol.

[AmericanEmpire]

I've got two cats. I can't imagine eating them though.

[Dukat_Reloaded]

I wouldn't eat a dog or cat but I would eat one if it was minced/ground up like beef and on a burger. I didn't think I would have eaten a Guinea Pig before but darn it, they look tasty, I'm quite hungry now.

Yeah I knew that, if anyone is worried about farming food for peakoil, this artical was interesting, apparently guinue pigs are cheap to raise as food.

Back when the arm waving over y2k was in full force, when asked about my preps I would smile and point to my three dogs. Dressed out and smoked they would come to maybe 100 lbs.

Seriously though, eating my dogs would be a last resort option, and if I ever get there, life will have gotten very tough indeed.

I suspect the poll would shift to 98% "yes" after a couple weeks of real hunger, and that doesn't even take much of my usual heavy dose of pragmatisim/cynicism to get to that number.

A lot of people forget that dogs are animals, not people.

Case in point: Look at the french girl who just got a face transplant because she took a bunch of sleeping pills, then her wonderful pet started licking her face, probably got a little taste of blood out of a popped zit or something, then headed off to snack time!

You think your pet licks your face out of love and affection?

HAH!

It's because you taste good!

Back to the serious side briefly. Isn't the face licking thing attached to the idea that you are the alpha dog returning from the hunt and the "puppies" are checking out the menu hoping you are going to puke up a snack?

Any dog experts want to comment on this?

Yeah I know dogs are like that. When I'm standing my dog is nice and respectful to me, but if I lay on the floor and the dog is near, he will start to bite me until I stand up and yell at him. I guess dogs make very successful self portable units of foods. If you were going to choose to eat something, you would want that food to follow you until your ready to eat, much better than hauling food yourself in a packback or something. It's funny why I never didn't think of this before, but if animals can walk, why do we haul them to markets with trucks, why not train them to walk to the market instead and can eat grass from the side of the road while traveling. For longer distances, attach a GPS device to their heads which zaps them whenever they stray off course. I'm joking quite abit, but still it is possible.
