Resident Evil had zombie animals in it

 

If the animals get infected too... it's all over.
No getting out.
It's all done.

Unless you can be noah2 and start a _____in' arc with 2 of ever animal... start your own island!

(On second thought... like 100 chickens... Cause I likes me some chicken!)

 

Well to what extent, like insects, or just dogs and cats

 

ah hell I can see it now zombie mosquito.

why not for the sake of the argument only include mammals for the living dead.

 

A zombie mosquito would be devastating...

However, it's largely agreed that the virus that causes the undead is limited to humans. I also feel that a true zombie doesn't have the 28 Days Later time frame for eating. Seeing how most zombies do not have functioning digestive systems, eating is of no use to them. It is an instinctual, yet, inconsequential action for them.

A zombie will continue to move forward until they no longer have any method of doing so. (removal of limbs, for instance) It's important to note that until the brain is destroyed, it is still a viable threat, regardless of its mobility.

 

Keep in mind that, while, many of the physical manifestations of a zombie were illustrated in 28 Days Later and Planet Terror; they are not truly zombies. They were infecteds, or sickos. Not zombies.

 

I agree with mammals only, but true zombies, T-Virus?

 

Well, Solanum is often considered to be the virus responsible for reanimation. However, it can be argued that the T-Virus could potentially be a strain, or mutation of Solanum.

Also, not all mammals. Humans only. Exposure to Solanum is fatal in all species, however, reanimation only occurs in humans.

There's also the theory that insects can determine tainted blood and will reject it. So there's no fear of the virus becoming parasitic/airborne.

 

who are you? and how do you know this? and what the hell is Solanum is that from some movie? and lastly who am I?

 

solanum is from the "Zombie survival guide" manual by Max Brooks. They are just setting up the rules of their universe with the specific cause of the zombie outbreak.

I'm guessing they'd do this because the rules change depending on how and where the zombies come from - for example, if the zombies happen because ANYONE who dies resurrects as zombie, regardless if they've been bitten or infected, well, then you're probably in biblical Rapture-type move. (or maybe airborne causes)

If the zombie "cause" affects all animals - well then the ecosystem and the world is largely screwed. How do you kill carnivirous zombie no-see-ums? You get bit by a tiny insect -bam, you become a zombie.

 

Do you mean selenium?

 

Precisely, in order to properly defeat your enemy, you must know them.

There's the viral zombie, voodoo zombie, and the rapture style zombie... you know "when there's no more room in hell, the dead shall walk the Earth." Romero style.

 

Nope, selenium is a chemical element, which, while indeed toxic in large doses, it does not cause reanimation.

 

i see

 

Um... I can score crazy points on house of the dead but I got a c in biology. Let's get back on topic.

 

Ok, let's say we have slow moving, dumb zombie humans who will eat 'till their bowels burst (if they have bowels to begin with) and then eat some more. They do not require food, they remain re-animated 'till the brain is destroyed. These zombies are only created by other zombies. Those who died from anything other than zombie related injuries stay dead unless the corpse is grazed upon by zombies.

We would have to kill them all. I think humans would fairly quickly resort to WMDs to get rid of as many zombies as quickly and easily as possible. Yeah, there will be negative consequences but they're better than being a zombie buffet. We will ahve to burn our dead (safer than burying them). And I imagine that all of the power would be held by the military because they have the most bullets.

 

I don't think I would want to blow them all up and move underground. When it comes down to it I think a zombie infested world would be the perfect life. Instead of going to work everyday you get to make love to your gf anywhere you want (mall, church, disneyland) and snipe zombies all day. You could move into any home you desire. Hell, go live in the mountains and snowboard all day everyday. I don't see the downside. The possibilities are endless.

 

What about the Snack Bar at Target? The Vatican? A Mosque?

 

Snowboarding down a mountain, shooting zombies... I got a great idea for a video game.

 

hmmm what if the zombies can snowboard to?
