Jesus. That’s just so unimaginable. How many times he must have admitted defeat and resigned himself to death through that period.
How many times did the thought, when do I need to eat the dog cross his mind? Awesome they both made it alive!
I haven’t thought about this. Do you think if he thought about it, he’s feeling guilty now?
Don’t see why. Everyone doesn’t have that familial bond with pets/animals. If it came down to it I’d eat my pet and I’ve wouldn’t think twice about it. Odds are they’d eat you vs starving to death
That’s true and I agree completely. However isn’t that what separates us from animals?

No. We seperate ourselves from animals. We’re the same resource devouring idiots with an inate need to fuck and pass on our genes. The only differences between us and animals is 1. We’re better at it and 2. We’re aware of it.

Futurama sums it up perfectly to me: And so, life returned to normal, or at least as normal as it gets in this primitive dirtball inhabited by psychotic apes.
