There will be so many people in “the starving hordes” that domesticated and wild game animals alike will, in most areas of this country, become effectively extinct. If you survive TEOTWAWKI you may never again see a horse, cow, pig, goat, sheep, dog, cat, etc. Most game birds will probably survive, maybe even wild turkeys and some species of wild ducks. Oh, most domesticated animals won’t truly be extinct, but there might be only a few dozen alive in this country in isolated homesteads. In olden times people kept the domesticated animals (they had very few) in the house with them, at least at night. Can you imagine keeping a horse or a couple of cows in the spair bedroom? lol But that’s what its going to take. Can you manage to keep an armed guard alive, awake and alert 24/7 on your chicken coop, barn, garden and farm pond (fish)? Heck, people will steal the seeds out of the gound in your garden at night just so the can plant them theirselves. They may even steal the dirt too, if its really good dirt.
