They will probably end up choosing to eat animals or die for their cause like good martyrs should

A.L.F

Isn't he from Melmak

Oh wait that's Alien Life Form. Not Animal Liberation Front.

I'm with NEOPO, once the belly starts rumbling those rabbits better start running.

We'll probably chew up excess animals. Anything that is a luxury that can no longer be sustained by a declining economy may disappear. Certain of our moral stances might be luxuries. Prosperity and good times smooth over many wrinkles.

On the other hand, given the relative costs of a more-meat versus a less-meat diet, poverty might be the cure for omnivores that lean heavily on the meat.

Tell ALF he needs some web design lessons... I'm just sayin...

[Gazzatrone]

I'll tell you how the A.L.F will be affected by Peak Oil. They won't give a rats ass about animal welfare when TSHTF.

I think it's called self-preservation. Are you seriously telling me that a starving ALFer will sit and look at those lambs in the field and not think, "damn my morals, I'm sitting on top of the food chain and I'm hungry."

And I have to say, any organisation going round in balaclavas carrying bunnies do little to scare the crap out of me.

How will it affect the A.L.F. ?
Here ...kitty..kitty..kitty.. Will take on a whole new meaning

Will we ever eat cats and dogs? Having lived in China I can tell you the answer is "yes!" Also, rats and watercockroaches too. Bon appetite!

[sirrom]

do you think their attacks will increase with all the under funded police forces we will have?

Maybe I'm unfamiliar with the principles of the ALF, I think it's animal testing, what often amounts to torture, that they object to. That and probably mistreatment/starvation etc of pets, gassing of unwanted pets, folks shooting ducks at the park with arrows (so you end up with ducks going around with arrows stuck in 'em no shit) etc.

I've heard quite a few veggies say that if you want to eat meat, you ought to kill it yourself or at least if you want to eat beef, have killed and butchered at least one bovine. I'm all for that, and against the kind of "concentration camps" beef chickens etc are raised or fattened in in the US. Make mine free range, please!

At least after the dieoff it will all be free range, here kitty kitty..... BTW when that time comes, you can feel good about eating cat, since feral cats are a disaster to most ecosystems.

The eyeballs and brain are loaded with essential amino acids and fats that will keep you alive. The organ meats are where the bulk of nutrition is. The bone marrow will be delicious. The "meat" content will be fairly useless, delivering much less sustenance per unit weight.

Veggies will in fact probably be safer to eat in any case. Basically free-range vs. feedlot humans. You are what you eat.

[I_Like_Plants]

Except we have to keep clear of brains and spinal cord these days, mad cow/deer/sheep/squirrel. Yes, squirrel too. But I think the brains can be used in tanning.

But the guts, the liver, "sweetbreads", all those weird tasty little parts, all good. That's why people traditionally ate them. And with birds, up to duck and chicken size anyway, the skin, yum.
