You're stranded, no food, no water..

[Kazmat]

All you had with you is your faithful, loyal dog.
But he/she has passed away.
You're starving, would you eat him/her?
---

This question was asked by a friend of mine on another forum a few months ago so I figured I'd ask the same here.

I've never reached starvation before so I couldn't say I'd just bury her.
But even if I tried to eat her I'd probably cry hysterically to the point where I couldn't eat.

Deja vu.

I don't know. The entire concept of ripping into something and eating it's guts really feels like something that if I really had to do I'd lose my lunch over how freakin' /gross/ it is. Then again, desperation makes you do insane things. So yeah. I don't know.

 

[Captain Hobo.]

I would save my dog ( who's name is Shelton ) and then, we would walk to the next town and get food and water.

I would have to save my dog.

 

[NightOfRemorse]

Just reading that question hurt! I don't think I would eat her because tearing her up would be pretty disgusting, and I love her too much ;-;

She weighs a freakin' sixty pounds, so if I did eat her, I would have food for a good while, bahaha xD

 

[PlatinumDude]

I wouldn't eat my dog! It would seem immoral to eat a friend. I'd just look for the nearest town/city for supplies.

 

[Kazmat]

Guys, I meant you are lost, there is no towns nearby
In other words you are fighting for survival.
him/her has already died so there wouldn't be any saving him/her

once again this is completely hypothetical
it's not a matter if you would be or not in that situation, it's just if you were. :P

I should have explained with more details.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

No, I wouldn't imagine dog tastes all that well. (I have had bad experiences with dogs, so i doubt I'd have much personal attachment to it).

I'd just keep going to the next town and hope there's a McDonald's or something there.

 

[Beechlgz]

Yes. In a situation of dire need and with no other resources I'd eat a dead pet dog. I'd try my best to at least get a fire started to cook it if I could, since eating raw carrion could potentially be just as bad or even worse than not eating it at all. Probably depends on how fresh it is and what killed it. For example if it was poisoned I wouldn't even cook it, I'd just bury it if I had enough energy.

Spoiler:

This sums it up nicely.
I'd bury the dog, and hope that I'm fat enough to last till someone finds me.
That, or recycle own piss & sh*t. U mad?

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I'll never ever eat my dog. I'd rather die than to eat my dog.

 

[Chikara]

I grew up with dogs, I couldn't eat one, even I my life depended on it :/

Assuming I'm allowed to loophole my way around eating a dog, I'd rather look for indigenous things that I could get. Like fruits. And monkeys.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Mmm, this dog sure tastes good...

I'm a cat lover, and I put survival over anything else. Besides, if they're dead (like, just died) I'm sure they wouldn't feel any pain. But I'd eat them for nourishment, though how long would that last? What if no one comes to save us?

 

[Palkia]

I would have to eat the dog. I don't mind eating a animal when they are dead. Plus, it would feel nice to have the dog's flesh inside me for some reason.

 

[Kevin]

Aw I'm not eating my dog. She doesn't weigh much anyway, so it would be of no use to eat her....

haha I was wondering if anyone would post one of these.
I'd do the same and bury her, but you never really know what you would do with extreme starvation/dehydration xD

 

[Fire Heart]

Not matter how lost i was or how hungry i was, i would never be able to bring myself to eat my dog.

 

[mikey]

No way, I'd rather die than eat a dog, especially if it were my own loyal one I loved.

 

[ii_Amby Bear_ii]

Yes, of course I would. I'd never kill my faithful dog if I were starving, but if I were starving and they'd already passed away then I'd do it hesitantly but have no choice.

 

[Ayselipera]

I'd tear into that bad boy the first chance I get. As my loyal and loving dog I would think it would appreciate me enjoying its subtle flavors.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

My dog probably doesn't have much meat on her bones, but I'd be fine with eating what meat she did have, as long as she was already dead. Contrary to most people, I wouldn't mind eating dog as a delicacy voluntarily... which always gets weird reactions from people when I tell them that, but oh well!
