Eating ones best friend?

[Preacher]

If we're discussing a hypothesis based on the question "if it came down to it" we must take as given, the premis that normal available food resources have already fallen BELOW that which is necessary to accommodate the surviving population.

In that situation, eating an emaciated dog may extend your family's survival for a couple of days, but reducing the human population in your area to a level that those resources can sustain is the logical solution... And I for one, won't be shooting my grandchildren, or doing anything to reduce their level of security.

Timelord's point about extreme hunger changing the way we think is a case in point... If we wait until that tipping point has come BEFORE we take the action necessary to preserve our own families by altering the food:population ratio, we WON'T be thinking straight.

Survival is about taking the decisions necessary to keep our genes in the pool, without emotion, without adherance to a dead society's moral code and most importantly, while we're still fit enough to do something about it....

I'm sorry if some of you think that makes me cruel, or harsh, but by the time you'r first child dies of hunger, it'll be too late to take the action that would've saved their life.
