I am, of course, reminded of Jack London's immortal "To Build a Fire," in which a fool hiking alone in the Yukon accidentally gets wet, and suddenly finds himself freezing to death. He decides to kill his dog - to warm his frozen hands in the dog's innards.

The dog senses his desparation and skidaddles. The man dies.

Though human life is of course more valuable than animal life, I still find that version more satisfying.

you’re pretty tough hearted aren’t ya?

assuming anyone hikes lone is a fool

and deserves their fate

hmm

difference in personalities..i always found that short story poignant and a writ of frustration and desperation

but yes...we have become like animists vaunting some animals over say...fetuses
