Raccoon Life or the Value of Raccoon Life

In episode four everyone when they were trying to catch the raccoon they were trying to make you feel sorry for it, by showing you that it had Raccoon children. Where i live, raccoon are common, just the other day i saw two dead on the side of the road. So my question, did you agree with Mike, would you eat the shit out of that raccoon, or would you let it escape because it had Raccoon babies. I would eat it, as long as it wasn't foaming at the mouth.

  • I guess that is true.. in 400 days didn't they have a walker eating a puppy?

  • It was still a living, breathing, mammal with cubs to raise. Also, in the apocalypse raccoon very well may be endangered, no one is keeping population counts anymore, and walkers eat anything that moves.

  • You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, Racoon-kabobs, Racoon creole, Racoon gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple Racoon, lemon Racoon, coconut Racoon, pepper Racoon, Racoon soup, Racoon stew, Racoon salad, Racoon and potatoes, Racoon burger, Racoon sandwich. That- that's about it.

  • I'd let it live even if it didn't have kids. Not letting my Clem become a savage.

  • Its a animal not a person. So your telling me you wouldn't eat a raccoon with cubs, if it meant it might save you or your group's life.

  • Guessing you're a vegan then, because all meat comes from butchered animals.

  • No, I'm not.

  • Why stop there, Plants deserve a chance to live too, and people eat them without any thought about it. What about their pain, and suffering, all those potatoes... THE HORROR.

    exactly my point, people always forget about the plants that suffer, but always talk about the animals because their "cute." I find my apple tree just as cute as a raccoon, doesn't mean i won't eat the shit out of them apples.

  • I never said that did I, I simply stated that it was a living mammal (humans are mammals too, go figure) and that it was raising cubs. If I was starving I would eat the raccoon. If I was peckish I would eat the raccoon. If I was Mr. Creosote I would eat the raccoon. If the people in my group pissed me off I might chop off their legs and eat those too, I grew up on a diary after all. I might feel bad about leaving the cubs without a mother, but they looked like they might fit nicely on a hotdog bun, so they wouldn't be distressed for to long.

    Well, I've eaten both horse and dog, so I really can't complain.

    (Obviously that's not how they make it. There are dogs that they specifically raise on farms. Plus, there's no reason you should complain about eating dogs and horses and not complain about cows and sheep. Also, I love how people complain about Koreans eating dog and not a peep about the French eating horses.)

  • Well you see umm its different..

  • If I have to choose if to kill it or not it would depend if the group was starving badly. If so I would do it as I wouldnt want someone to die or have a fight happen when they are all starving.

  • I would have let him go probably

  • I thought you deserved to know that you made me giggle like a maniac, thumbs up for the hilariousity!

  • TBH if I was in that situation, I'd eat the raccoon. Life isn't pretty, obvious by the walkers represented in the game. If walkers don't think twice before eating humans. It's the circle of life, no matter how fucked up it is. Everyday, everything that lives just tries to avoid getting eaten. I know that raccoon had a family, but am I going to let my family starve? I'm not saying I think all animals should die and that I hate them. I'm just saying that you need to do what's necessary to survive. It means that sacrifices must be made. If you're willing to go around killing walkers, you should also be willing to eat a raccoon when there are no other options. Survival man. I know I've said that a few times, but it's true.

  • Eat raccoon or starve. Difficult choice.

  • Deliciously cute.

    Certain animals are breed and raised for food. Certain animals are breed and raised as "family members". You don't eat family.

    Gawd that sounds wrong no matter how it's said....

  • You know, that was kind of a dumb scene. You don't simply dive at, and snatch up, a raccoon. If any of them would have actually managed to catch that raccoon with their bare hands, that raccoon would have tore that person up pretty bad, just trying to get away.

    That scene should have taught them to find bows and arrows, so they could hunt and/or kill game/walkers/assholes silently without attracting other walkers/assholes. Plus, arrows have the possibility of being recovered and used again, bullets don't have that luxury.
