I think this is my first post, so sorry if this is a repeat thread, I looked around and didn't see anything similar
My question is this:
Would the human survivors really be so bad off, after however many (Years?) after the ZA?
The way I see it is that there would probably be an explosion of small to medium game, such as deer, rabbits, chickens, hogs (pigs, warthogs) etc. that would experience a population boom due to there being FAR less humans in the world. Most of these animals already have a keen sense of their surroundings (unlike our survivors....) and would hear a twig or the endless slogging about and moaning and groaning of the zombies and get away.
Further, I don't even think that a herd of walkers could successfully chase down a chicken. Do they even care about chickens? Unclear. Chicken may be a bad example. I once tried to catch a chicken and about an hour later I was convinced the chicken was screwing with me. I doubt a mindless zombie could do this.
Cows. Sure, those slow moving larger animals probably stand no chance. Horses, Depends on the horse, I suppose.
How about instead of Darrell eating the worm, he puts it on a hook and catches a fish? And where ARE all the lakes/Rivers??
Even squirrels like we're accustomed to Darrell eating would seem to be in high demand, along with a very large rat/scavenger population that would certainly exist where there is nothing but rot all around. There should also be a massive feral domesticated cat population in the area. I don't think a zombie is catching a cat either.
Maybe I'm over-thinking things, but if the animals aren't turning into the dead (Like you see in Resident Evil with dogs) then there should be a large amount of live food all throughout the country.
