While cats can run they can't defend themselves. They can try by hissing, or scratching or biting.. But that wouldn't deter a hungry Zombie so the cat just became dinner.
This is spoken like a person who has never tried to actually catch a cat that doesn't want to be caught. You literally have to trap that cat in an inescapable trap...and really, what zombie is going to be able to calculate that? So what you have is a cat hiding in impossibly tight spaces and places that a human could never get to without a LOT of effort, let alone a zombie. I think cats are better equipped for the ZA than we are, to be honest.
Have you ever had a animal that was sick and truly suffering? Have you cared for it for months as it was unable to stand? Have you held them as they went through seizures and refused water? Have you not had the money (not unwilling but don't actually have the cash) to pay thousands of dollars for surgery that may or may not work? When the dog is going to be eaten or going to starve to death as it stays by your side would you watch it suffer? Sometimes the selfish answer hurts them more than accepting the pain and guilt.
I don't think I mentioned anything about ending the suffering of my dog if they were dying/sick/trapped beyond help. I've been there, and it's something I wish we could do for humans we love.
But again, killing my dog because they might make noise and endanger me (while only - unknowingly - trying to protect me) or eating them to save my butt? Absolutely not.
I don't see any reason to bring cats along other than to eat them. i could picture bringing a dog along as it might be useful(better hearing, smell ect he could warm you for incoming zed and he'd be good company ). if i was starving i would kill and eat my pets in an instant, i would not think twice about it. as for killing it for the noise, i'd first try to shut it up and if that wouldn't work i would probably kill it especially if it meant saving my family. i love my pets but they're not my family and anyone who think pets see you as their family are out of his mind. also i would choose the life of any random stranger over that of my pet.

God, I am a terrible person, if I take this serious.
fuck that, your dog would would lay down its life for you. If you kill it or abandon it then your a cold hearted bastard. Id keep my dog with me whether it places me in more danger or not.
I don't think you'd have to kill your pets. Let them loose if you really have to but let's see: cats, as you said, are generally very quiet and can help be a bit of a boost to moral, even if they aren't likely to last very long. And dogs? Well if you can train the dog to keep quiet for most of the time you could have a damn good watcher on your hands. Especially if it's making a shit-ton of noise when people come nearby, it'd alert everyone to any nearby walkers (and anyone else nearby).
I'am about to piss alot of you bleeding hearts off with this, but whatever.
In a ZA setting survival is key. Anything that doesn't walk on TWO legs and can talk is FOOD.
My personal plan in the event of a ZA is to seize the local animal shelter. I will care for the animals as best I can, because they have just went from pets to livestock.
Thats right I would keep them alive, even breed them depending on the shelter, but have no doubt I would eat them. You need to keep your strength up, and protein is protein.
That also pretty much answers the question about my pets fate I suppose.
I love dogs. But in the event of a zombie apocalypse, they would make your presence obvious. It could bring walkers right to your doorstep, mostly due to it’s barking triggered by it’s protective nature. If it makes your presence known, by all means, run like hell alongside of it. But if it begins to slow you down, you’ll have to do something a clod-hearted bastard would do: break one of it’s legs and leave as bait for the walkers. I don’t want to have to think about it, I know. The thought of it makes me want to throw up. But if something like that happened, I would not hesitate. Call me a bastard if you wish, but it would be the smart thing to do.

The smart thing to do would be to chop it up and throw its organs at the walkers. If you're going to do what it takes to survive with those methods, may as well pull all the stops.
I'd personally never do something like that, simply locking the dog in a separate room where it can't follow you and would lead the walkers to(with full barks and not injured whimpers) would be sufficient, but that's just me.
If you have kids killing and eating your family pet isn't good for your (or kids) mental health. I would do it if we were starved but then eating the fucking dog will only help for about a day with food then what??? kids next? I mean I know it's a dog and not a person but I AM A PERSON and eating your dog IS just as bad as eating some survivor thats a stranger. Tell the military you killed and ate your dog...they will proly put you down with the walkers cuz it's not ok....NOT! whatever I'm dumb and would proly die but at least I would still have my humanity....jesus.
This is my last post on these forums. what the fuck. Not having fun talking about killing my dog...gave me fucking nightmares. Hope you all enjoy the 5th episode and have a happy thanksgiving. Peace out;)
Okay, I didn't want to get involved, but your posts are all ridiculous. You're either simple in the head, or ten years old. Eating a dog is nowhere CLOSE to eating a person. I understand your point about it being hard on the kids, but it wouldn't affect their "mental health", unless they were ludicrously overly-emotional. If we told the military in a zombie apocalypse that we killed and ate a dog, apart from being a pointless thing to do because they have survival in mind and honestly wouldn't mind much if surviving meant eating a dog, if anything they would agree that it was the right thing to do.
The maker of the forum mentioned in passing how it may be necessary to eat the animals such as dogs or cats so you don't starve and die a painful death. He just wants to protect his family, Jesus Christ.
I have four dogs myself and I love them like family, and no, I would not put them down or eat them, but I understand why many people would.
I do not, however, understand your way of thinking.
I love my dogs more than I love life itself (Katjaa deja vu there O.o), but I wouldn't "put someone down with the walkers" for eating their dog.
Wow.
I usually respect people's points of view, but Christ. Yours is just... no.
At the very least i would force such people out of the group. Give them some food and guns, find a safe/secure area or help build one and leave them there. Learn how to farm and grow your own food like Hershel rather than killing a valuable and potentially life-saving asset to survival.
I have a Swiss shepeard which is similar to the German shepeard but hes is white dough.. he is a part of the family and i love him very much.. the only problem is that he barks at everything bcs he's protective and teritorial .. i rly wouldnt know what to do with him in the ZA.. probably will have to shoot him.. but i wouldnt have the guts to do it ..

Ever see a walker ignite in the sunlight...or care what time of day/night it is?
Vampire knock-offs do not Zombies make.

Keep in mind that the zombies are pretty strong and can rip up a person's stomach pretty fast...
but they are SLOOOOOW...and you ever tried to catch a dog that didn't want to be caught?
This. Plus, even littler dogs can rip fingers of.
God, I am a terrible person, if I take this serious.
Actually, I was referring to the scene where Will Smith kills his German Shepherd.

As I said it could do the same in the city but might be more harmful than not in that case.

So yeah. Have this load of text.
