Don't Worry About Zombies, At Least As Long As Animals Are Around

The Walking Dead just started up again, and while plenty of us love to speculate about what we would do during the zombie apocalypse, BoingBoing has a great point that we pretty much wouldn't have to worry about a hoard of zombies running around the countryside because before they got to us, the animals would get to them. The logic is sound, after all, plenty of animals have adapted to eating rotting meat and recycling it back into the earth, which is precisely why we don't have piles of rotting dead corpses lying around everywhere right now.

Of course, if a zombie apocalypse involved zombie animals, that would be an entirely different story altogether.
