Could You Eat Your Pet?

I heard a tale on Radio 5 this morning were this guy had gone out into the Canadian outback with his Alsatian dog. During this time whilst he was on his adventure he stumbled upon a bear which had obviously put him on the menu for lunch. Apparently his dog had a bit of a set to with the bear which culminated in the bear doing a runner and thus the dog probably saving his life.
Unperturbed the guy carried on with his travels but encountered difficulties and ran out of food. Apparently after finishing off the Winalot he was left with no alternative but to dine on his dog. All this info came to light when he was stumbled upon by a couple of rangers, the guy was quite worse for wear apparently and how much and what parts he ate weren't mentioned, but the situation must have been pretty extreme.
The question is could any of you fellow posters eat your pet(s) in desperation, and I'm not talking about a goose on the table for Christmas?

If everyone resists a feline related innuendo, it will be a miracle.

It's a no by the way.

Yes I know what you mean but I felt I had to share the story.
Many years ago when I was at college this particular lecturer was a gentleman farmer in his spare time and a lot of the animals he had were treated as pets, however this guy couldn't understand why his kids wouldn't eat the goose that had been served up for Christmas dinner,hence the latter part of my post.

When it comes to a genuine him or me, then its me. However, I cant see a goldfish extending my life by too much.

I'd rather eat shit .

Not got a pet nowadays, but no, unless I had all the proper gear to do it.

Not eating owt that's not been properly prepared and cooked reet.

If I was starving, then yes I would kill the poor fuckers.

Ever seen the film alive, of course you'd eat your pet if you were starving.

It might taste nice too.

No chance.

Just couldn't do it, no matter how hungry I got.

I'd have to eat my own toe-nail clippings and hair to survive.

I'm a veggie,but I could eat my dog. It's a collie.

Didn't Freddy Starr eat his hamster?

Of course I would.

Probably a lot tastier than ADs preferred diet too.

Strange, a collie having a hamster as a toy 

I had a pet chicken, once. I'm told she tasted great with rice and peas, but I was too busy crying to eat. I was 5 or 6 at the time.

Not in a million years- but I bet the little sod would eat me.

I know you don't like the idea some of Tom but im sorry. There is no way you would not do it if desperate. Your cosy little mind set would not be the same after a week without any food. Your will to survive would take over from your moral code. Fact. Itk.

I would work with the dog and kill the fucking bear and there's plenty of fish in the outback and other animals the dog would be invaluable as a companion as he already proved what a dirty and stupid dumb fuck this guy was.

I would rather eat my Mrs than my dog, there's a lot more meat on her.
