So I was thinking about some possible outcomes and scenarios, and I stumbled across the notion of Zombie Animals. Wouldn't it be cool if like dogs, wolves or whatever animal also got infected? What do you guys/gals think? It would make for some nice zombie kills.

On talking dead last night it was brought up and he said no zombie animals would be in the show.

We talked about that on page two here: http://www.roamersan...-poop-spoilers/

Like the zombie doberman pinchers in Resident Evil! That would be cool.

If we supplanted that into a more realistic zombie approach, like Walking Dead, then it would also mean the end of humanity all together.
Voracious, unceasing wild animals who have a hunger for human flesh would turn the whole world into dinner.

If they were zombie animals, wouldn't they eat their own kind? Like dogs eating dogs and cats eating cats?

If anyone is interested there's a book called Empire which deals with EVERYTHING going zombie. Dogs, cats, rats, you name it. Plus the Grim Reaper shows up and he ain't happy about any of it.

Maybe... but in TWD, we have human zombies eating anything that moves. So, if we assume that animal zombies exist, they'll also eat anything that moves.... including us.

Thats what went on in the book. Animal zombies eating other animals as well as humans. Just imagine the chaos.

Then if animals can turn into zombie, this would open up the way to all life forms succumbing to zombieism, which would mean that amoeba and bacteria would turn to zombies then it would be impossible to survive.  
But would be cool if dogs could only get the virus alongside man, which would explain how so many people were infected at the start of the plague.

"Hey fido's sick mom", bark snarl bite!  double that a million times, rather than "hey grandpa's acting weird" oh its ok timmy just keep out of his way he's been dead for a week.  or some such,,,,you get the drift...

There are many viruses and diseases which only humans can contract, and animals are completely unaffected or immune due to different physiology. This could be the case with the z virus, maybe only the human brain is infected. The human brain is much more complex than that of animals. That being said, is it possible primates could be affected by the z virus, being more physiologically related to humans than any other animal?
