ah but that's a good dog, and a normal human, give me a good human over a normal dog anyday too
it was never a fair trade lol
good humans are a lot rarer than a good dog.

aye, but define a GOOD human
much easier to find a good dog!
someone said to me the other day, put your missus and the dog in the boot of your car, come back later and see which is the more pleased to see you!!

Really ???? Killed by traffic? How do you figure that out?
Post SHTF it's very unlikely that there'll be much traffic. You said it yourself that there will be no 'Golden hordes' evacuating the cities and nearly all animal sanctuary's are in the countryside anyway.
The fact remains that a Wolf reared by humans will have no fear of us!
If you think hungry humans can be dangerous then imagine a hungry wolf. Good luck out there in the countryside on your own BP, just remember you may not be the most vicious lone wolf out there.
As for loving dogs more than humans!!! Oh dear!

Ok...I still don't get the traffic reference but never mind. Hungry animals will escape, not all of them but probably enough to breed and over time establish a colony of some type.
Someone mentioned wolves travelling about 50 miles a day, if that is true then a wolf that escapes from London zoo can be at Bristol in about three days and Exeter maybe 4 days later. It Only takes a couple of random escapees to smell each other out and start the breeding process.
There's a reason our ancestors worshipped and feared these creatures... They're f##king lethal!

i dont know what your geography is like but i think it'll get to Exeter first then Bristol later, there's a zoo at Bristol so they'll meet something else going the other way!!
once i get to my BOL i'll be putting out snares and traps including pit traps so they'd better look out if they come near me.....humans too!

I though Exeter was further south than Bristol, therefore further away from London? No? Have I lost the plot?? AAAaaaarrrggghhhh!!!

well yes, depends which direction they go in i suppose, Exeter is 30 miles from me. Bristol is 90.

your also assuming the animals are released at the beginning.
I reckon they wouldn't be released until there was no other option
these keepers would stay with them for as long as they could.
and only when they realised there was no hope would they let them loose.
by then the petrol would have run out long ago.
