Sometimes an animal the characters are keeping around ends up as emergency rations despite not being intended as a food source, such as if the animal was a pet. [[BlackComedy Humor is often obtained]] when the creature is aware of their fate. There may even be a minor subplot about it trying to escape. There's rarely any humor when people who do love their dog are forced to think about eating it because, you know, [[PostApocalypticDog the world has ended]].
