Of all the shit they have done and been through, I can't believe Rick's red line of human dignity is eating a can of dog food.

[–]Andy_1 10 points11 points ago

He needs to be disciplined for shooting his other daddy.

[–]mnbookman 4 points5 points ago

"You have been a bad boy! March to your death hungry tonight!"

That said, the deer population is exploding right now. There are lakes that have missed entire dishing seasons. I can't imagine they would have troubles finding protein.

[–]falconear 5 points6 points ago

You sure about that? These zombies don't just eat humans, they eat everything.

[–]Elementium 5 points6 points ago

Deer aren't stupid. The "hunters" you see killing deer in the real world plant their asses in a seat attached to a tree with something to attract the deer and just wait to shoot them with rifles. The zombies don't have the use of technology or the even the brains or brawn to run down a deer.

The few animals the walkers might get there hands on are probably domesticated.

[–]mnbookman 3 points4 points ago

Every deer I have killed (many) I killed one of two ways: 1) stalking through the woods quietly. I then shot them. 2) sitting quietly until they came into view. I then shot them.

Baiting is illegal. :)

Plus zombies smell, and deer have a really good sense of smell!

[–]TDmorty 0 points1 point ago

Not to derail but baiting is legal in Michigan

[–]SenorPierre 0 points1 point ago

using salt licks and the like is a-ok in Kentucky as well.

[–]Elementium 0 points1 point ago

good thing it's illegal.. wouldn't want to have an unfair advantage over the deer. Have to give them time to prepare their rifles.

[–]friedsushi87 0 points1 point ago

Are humans the only things that turn into zombies?

What about a zombie bear?

[–]Elementium 0 points1 point ago

In the walking dead universe we only see human zombies. I don't think it effects other animals.

[–]PBRPBRPBRPBRPBR 2 points3 points ago

It means that he dosent want them to resort to eating dog food and becoming dirty stinking savages.

[–]Nerosquito 0 points1 point ago

Rick needs to read The Road.

[–]HeyCarpy 0 points1 point ago

I felt it was more frustration with the fact that they have been stripped of everything, and being unwilling to hot rock bottom.

[–]VaderSon 14 points15 points ago

I confess that I thought He was going to eats first, you know all Alpha and shit, but the guy just didn't wanted his kid to eat dog food. He's not that far gone.

[–]Romana2[S] 5 points6 points ago

Yeah, but Carl's face made me sad.

[–]VaderSon 5 points6 points ago

True, poor kid was hungry and kind of happy to finally eat something even dog food.

[–]TheMightyMathieus 6 points7 points ago

Carl's face? Did you even see Hershel's? His face made me want to cry in a very manly way.

[–]Romana2[S] 3 points4 points ago

I know. Poor guy..

[–]Yanrogue 4 points5 points ago

Not sure why he tossed it. Dog food has lots of calories and stuff you need if you don't have much else. Unless the dog food is from china, then Rick saved him from being poisoned.

[–]lurker6412 0 points1 point ago

Calories yes, but nutritious most likely not. Granted if they were starving and they REALLY needed a source of energy, dog food can provide some of that, but in the long run they can still die from insufficient vital nutrients.

[–]jrmax 0 points1 point ago

Dogs live on that stuff. It is nutritious in some shape or form.

[–]lurker6412 0 points1 point ago

Dogs and humans have different metabolisms, the dog food is designed specifically for sustaining a dog so it can contain an inbalance of nutrients for a human.

[–]jrmax 0 points1 point ago

Yes, before the advent of processed, species specific food it was very dangerous to share meals with your pet lest you suffer malnutrition.

[–]SallyMcChestnut 5 points6 points ago

I totally thought it was owl food, and that the owl upstairs which Daryl killed was the family's pet owl lol

[–]Romana2[S] 0 points1 point ago

I thought maybe Carl would have kept it and had a pet, and then Daryl ate it.

[–]nicktothek 1 point2 points ago

rick didn't want his son to be reduced to eating such degrading food

[–]Stevules 2 points3 points ago

I was wondering what the can was. I thought he just picked up a random can of food and threw it. It made that scene really funny.

[–]tap112 3 points4 points ago

Spaghettios? Really!? Throws can You know we're a Chef Boyardee family!

[–]vandoh 2 points3 points ago

I really wanted to see Carls punk ass eat that dog food. Rick ruined it.

[–]laughter_track 3 points4 points ago

I do not feel like this submission fits within this subreddit. Sorry.

[–]Rodriguezry 3 points4 points ago

If only more people thought like you, we wouldn't have this shit clogging up this subreddit. Bring that shit over to r/TWD.

[–]laughter_track -2 points-1 points ago

Well, I'm an avid consumer of both the show and the comic, but thanks! I'll be heading over there often.

[–]Romito55 -2 points-1 points ago

Anytime a gif that has obviously been seen before such as this one is submitted it irritates me. This gif has been all over reddit and all the OP did was take the gif and make a shitty title then submit it to this subreddit hoping to rake in a bunch of karma. This post is pointless.

[–]Romana2[S] 0 points1 point ago

Oh you are mean and witty on the internet? Tell me how well that translates into real life!

[–]Romito55 -2 points-1 points ago

Tell me, how much time did you put into this post? You cant tell me you spend more than 3 minutes on this. You took a gif all over reddit that has been around for quiet some time and you submitted it with a caption that 100 other people have already used. Why do you deserve any karma at all? You dont. This post serves no purpose and it doesnt belong here.

So im "mean and witty" because i like to see content that relates to TWD rather than one of the most overused gifs with one of the most common titles on this subreddit? I dont think so. You need to atleast be a little original with your posts if you really want karma. Dont submit shit like this.

[–]Romana2[S] 1 point2 points ago

I looked for the perfect gif for 3 days. I have never seen this gif before..

[–]Romito55 -1 points0 points ago

Im sure. I bet youve never seen the downvoting roman gif either.

[–]Romana2[S] 1 point2 points ago

No I have seen that one.

[–]Ckmaster 0 points1 point ago

So yea pretty sure it was just cuz Rick didn't want them eating dog food, but my girlfriend gave me the theory that it is expired and Rick was just a drama queen. I like this theory and it is how I shall treat all expired things from now on.

[–]XWUWTR 1 point2 points ago

Into the fireplace!

We don't have one!

Build a fireplace!

[–]EmpireAndAll 0 points1 point ago

I stayed with my elderly aunt, and her pantry taught me to always look at the date first. Just the other day I was about to chow down on a can of peaches, which expired last year. I was sad.

[–]Scottfra 0 points1 point ago

IT WAS CAT FOOD

[–]mnbookman 0 points1 point ago

Well, that changes everything. I'd rather die and come back a zombie than eat cat food!

It's scare to think that our society could be headed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV5fQJhOhLU

[–]harkainos -1 points0 points ago

I'm pretty sure I laugh every time I see this meme...

[–]DarthReid 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was expired and Rick was just pissed because it was a possibility for food.

Now that you all are talking about him not being degraded, I feel stupid.

[–]starshinepony 0 points1 point ago

Anyone got a link to this scene?

[–]White_Luigi 0 points1 point ago

Man, my brother has a well-paying management job, a wife, a nice house, and he eats dog food. NUTTIN WRONG WIDDAT

[–]Dick_Serious -5 points-4 points ago
