Canadian hiker eats his own dog.

The animal loves you too, it'd have wanted to sacrifice itself to save its owner.

That's what I'd tell myself anyway.

So is cannibalism okay? If the person had already been killed?

Yes cannibalism is ok in this instance. Why should 2 people die just for the sake of being 'humane'?? I'd want my friend to eat me, so I'd sure eat them if they died and I was stranded.

If two people were definitely going to die, is it wrong to murder? It's a matter of time before the other does it.

Or should they toss a coin or something?

Alright you too, it was a brainfart. Calm down, it really isn't that big of a deal. I mean... At the end of the day...

Nah, actually killing someone would be too much. We'd wait it out, see who died first and agree that whoever was left could eat them.

Aah, I see. If you died the same time then that would suck.

According to the article, his supplies were destroyed by a bear at the start of the 3 month trip (didn't he take extra back-up supplies in case of an emergency? And a satellite phone?) and he then got lost in the wilderness. The bear came into his camp and his "beloved" dog chases it away.

He then eats the dog a few days later after killing it with a rock.

As the top commentor on that article says, I would actually rather die than kill and eat one of my pets.

What do you think of this? Could you kill and eat one of your pets?

You obviously don't have a pet, if you did you would understand how it would be physically impossible for you to eat him/her. This may sound 'gay' but my dog is my best friend and part of my family - there's a part of me which would rather have her survive than I.

Ive had many pets, live on an old farm. Had countless chickens (odd pets but I love them, some raised from incubator rather than hens), ducks, peacocks,rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, but most importantly, two dogs. One is fifteen, my first memory was getting her as puppy, the other one was just a puppy herself a year ago.I cant bare to eat animals so im veggie, but if it was me or them, guess what, I come first.
I love the hypocrisy of some people on here. You will slaughter thousands of animals in your life so you can have a burger but you wont kill just one to save yourself.

Om nom nom

dogs with noodles tasty ****

You think everyone who eats burgers would have the guts to kill a cow?

Humans are superior.

Always.

If I was hungry in the wilderness, I'd kill and eat an animal in a heartbeat.

...

It would take me longer to eat a human but if that's what I needed to do, I'd do it.
