Who knows what I'd do in such a terrible situation. People act irrationally when in danger. I want to say I wouldn't, but I might. Or maybe I'd let it eat me. Who knows?
-
No, I'd lookfor grubs and barries,some plants are edible also!
-
absolutely not.
-
If it's a matter between life and death, I would. I just hope I have a St. Bernard and not a chihuahua.
-
Exactly, in that state of mind you probably wouldn't care about anything.

People do strange things when push really comes to shove. I read Aron Ralston's book "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" wherein he cut off his arm to save his life (after being trapped by a boulder for several days). So while I could say no I wouldn't eat my dog... the fact is, out in the wilderness, anything could happen. I also just wrote an article about finding water in the wilderness, so if you get stuck out there, at least you can look for water while you're weighing your options... http://wehow.ehow.com/how_2025908_water-wilderness.html

No, I would not.
-
Well no, because that would only really keep you going for a couple mor days, and i would rather loose those two days and have companionship. Also, my pet is a cat, so why i would e stranded with him out in the woods I don't know, but he's a pretty good mouser and always brings them back to show me first.
-
Yes, of course, without a second thought. If it was a choice of me dying, or eating an animal, I'd eat the animal. I don't want to sound heartless, I love my pet, but the human instinct for survival is the strongest one we have.

Noooooo...there's lots of stuff to eat in the wilds without killing my dog, cat or parrot...now...the question would be....would Hannah eat ME! She's a pretty mercenary dog! lol
-
My dogs are 112lb German Shepherds ,well they were, both heavier than myself , I would like to see one of them let me kill them to eat Difficult situation but I honestly do not believe I could. it would be like eating my child ,I would die together. Though I have seen the strength of the will to survive so maybe some people could and if I were in the situation ,who knows. What good is the meat with no water
-
Then again...I did find this photo.....(not anyone I know!) lol
-
No,I could never do that,I am a big softy,my heart far outwieghs my stomache.
-
Not enough meat on his bones to warrant it, except for a last resort. I would be wishing my parrot was a female though, so at least I could have an over easy. It would just be difficult to eat something that talks to you.
-
I'd starve and die or I'd let them eat me.
-
yes i would have to eventually
-
I can't honestly answer. I have never been in that situation to know how powerful my survival instincts are. I haven't been even close. Though, considering that on average I only eat a sandwhich everyday anyway, odds are my pet would die long before I do. Though, I think my dogs would be able to get a squirrel or something. Though, I would be terrified they would eat me. So, I probably wouldn't eat my dogs and also even if I would I probably wouldn't live long enough to get the chance.

NO!
-
Hmmmmmmm? I wonder what roasted Bulldawg would taste like?.... Probably like chicken.
-
here, Kitty kitty.....

If you're in the wilderness, and there are plants, there is plant life to eat, and no need to resort to murdering another creature to survive.
-
no i would not , for 3 resons here. 1) iam a vegan 2) i hope that iam smart enouth to know what it is that i can eat and what would make me sick . 3) there are tons of things in the wilderness that man can eat to substain his or her life. there has not always been food stores.
-
No, never but I have two English Springers known for their hunting ability. They could hunt, I would cook it. :)
-
Yes, if he doesn't eat me first
-
No, never. Plenty of edible plants.
