sunnewsnetwork In the Canadian wilderness, a man made the decision to eat his companion dog--a decision which saved his life. I wonder how many of us would do the same.
Apparently, a bear ransacked his camp and destroyed most of his equipment before his German shepherd chased the wild beast off. He survived for three months before rescuers discovered him and airlifted his emaciated body to hospital. He remains in a serious condition after he lost half his body weight and the ability to speak while in the grips of hypothermia. There is little plant life to eat in that part of the wild, and he was slowly dying. When a person gets hungry, they have mood swings and they cramp all over the body while the body canalizes itself.

Several survival experts agreed that conditions in the Nottaway River wilderness were tough and, with temperatures dropping below freezing, the ordeal would have been enough to mentally break even the most experienced hiker. They say he made a good decision to eat his dog. But, I'm not so sure. The man might not survive, and if he does, how will he cope mentally with what he did?
Humans eat animals all the time, apart from those who have made the decision not to eat meat. But farm animals are raised for that purpose and most of us don't have to worry about actually killing them. The wilderness survivor had to choose his life over that of his companion. He was the man, so the dog lost out in the importance rank. Of course, the dog could have turned on him in a natural desire to survive. He could have killed the dog in self-defense and then decided to eat it.
Unless we are in a similar situation, none of know, really know, how we'd cope. I for one would rather die than betray a friendship and kill a companion. But that's just me.
Maybe you rate yourself above an animal.
