[Closed] Would you eat the dog?

As an 'outdoorsman', he should have been more than able to source food.

I'm out.

I don't think I could give an accurate answer unless I was in his predicament, but laying here in my bed with a full fridge downstairs I would say no.

Sure, if in the same situation as the guy in the newspaper, would draw the line if just pekish and too lazy to cook or order in.
Makes note to take large dog if ever I go in a 3 month wilderness trip

Yes. Not that keen on dogs though, so might have eaten it anyway.

How long before the dog had got so hungry that it would have tried to eat him?

I'd have eaten the bear 8)

He killed his beloved dog "a few days after the attack". So he didn't tough it out for very long.

I think the dog would have done the gene pool a favour by killing and eating [i]him[/i].

Christ, I've nearly ate the dog while I was waiting for my giro before now..

Must remember to get a more fleshy dog, my lurcher would feed me for long!

Pot poodle?

Chow Chow mein

suffering from hypothermia and dehydration when he was found and had lost half his body weight, authorities said.

article quotes outdoors man.............

as a vegetarian [b]NO[/b][u] the dog lives.

as a realist in a difficult position Possibly, depending on circumstances

Was he in a difficult position?

Why was he dehydrated...plenty of ways to get water with limited kit,
Was he injured in bear attack........???

He may have become dehydrated due to a severe case of the shits I suppose.

The shih tzu suppose then?

Sausage dog or hot dog anyone else!

I would shag it first

as a vegetarian NO[u] the dog lives.

What if it was a collie flower?

Seems he'd have died if he hadn't eaten the dog so not sure what the issue is really.

There are plenty of stories of the lengths people have gone to to survive. So while it is hard to visualise while I'm sat here eating breakfast I guess I would because human nature is to survive and a slow lingering death from starvation has little appeal.

AA was that after eating the dog? badly cooked dog maybe too rare

Never understand why meat eaters get squeamish or sentimental about certain types of animals but are happy to have industrial production and slaughter of others

if it came to survival, and I am a vegan, i would eat a dog and humans if required. i would not be killing the later in a Lord of the Flies style I meant more that airplane crash type scenario
3 days seems a bit early mind for it to be a life or death scenario

Mmmmmm, this outdoor cooking really is the dogs bollocks!

Junky, the meat that we eat generally doesn't eat meat itself. Dog does and as such can cause problems if we subsequently eat it.

Don't get me wrong, in a life or death situation, I'd get stuck in no problems. But while I have choice, no thanks.

What a terrierable story.

I am a vegan

Junkyard - Quick question, are you a strict vegan? By that I mean no dairy or animal products at all?

I am curious as I really don't know how you achieve this? It must be extremely difficult! What do you actually eat?

my dog is trained to hunt and maim vegans and bring them to me, so I'd be ok for organic meat.
even in the wilderness, there'd be a fine selection of them hugging a tree in the forest, weaving moss in the tundra or burying their head in the sand in the desert...

What do you actually eat?

I've seen him eating sausage a few times.

I'm sufficiently in touch with my survival instincts to know that if Waitrose doesn't deliver there, I'm not going there—the 'wilderness' is full of idiots and car-stealing bears

"Never understand why meat eaters get squeamish or sentimental about certain types of animals but are happy to have industrial production and slaughter of others"

It wasn't just any old dog it was HIS dog. Eating it is easy but clubbing a beloved pet to death with a rock? GS are very intelligent / faithful so the guy must have been in some state to even bring himself to contemplate that.

I am curious as I really don't know how you achieve this? It must be extremely difficult! What do you actually eat?

I'm also curious. Why do you think it would be so difficult?

So long as your not eating processed foods it should be fairly simple.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest vegetables, fruit and nuts.

I hope he made a hat or at least a waist coat out of its hide, so as to remember the occasion and have a handy conversation starter at parties, "oh what this little old thing? that was my dog, funny story... etc"

Yes I would. Not the liver though. You'll get into all sorts of problems if you do that.

I think in this case it's more to do with eating your own pet rather than just another animal.

Cheers for that, useful bit of info for the impending apocalypse.

Not the liver though

Every day is a school day!

Know someone who went to a place in china and you pick which one you want and they take it out back and bring your meal few mins later...

Not sure i really want to look my food in the eyes before i eat it but definitely would eat any animal if life or death

would vegetarians eat their pet cauliflower?

If he killed and ate his dog a few days after a bear stole all his food, what did he eat the rest of the 3 months before he was found ?

Would you eat the dog?

No. I would not eat the dog even when I am dying of starvation.
Dying is very much easier than having to eat the dog. Living is shite.

The person who eat his dog to stay alive after the dog saved him is a person whose moral compass is screwed. He does not know how to differentiate the right from the wrong and the respect that goes with owning his life to the dog. This person is a maggot and should stepped on.

I will feed him to the bear ...

😡

maggots have rights too!

Dying is very much easier than having to eat the dog. [b]Living is shite.[/b]

You may think so, but I quite enjoy it really

And would eat the dog to stay alive.

My moral compass is fine.

'Outdoorsman.' [i]Really?[/i] Within an hour of arriving in 'the wilderness' Ray Mears would be setting up the hot tub he’d whittled from a fallen tree outside the house he’d built from sticks having just downed three courses with coffee and petits fours made from boiled bark and roasted roots—and German Shepherd’s pie would not have been on the menu
You don't eat you dog. Not ever.
