In the Second World War, there were many stories about people having to eat their pets in Germany because there was no more meat.

But why eat your pet or someone else’s when you can eat a POW, much more meat.

I've seen videos of WWII POWs. There was definitely more meat on a dog.

Not just their pets, but any wandering animal was up for grabs. Throw in rats or a fish washed up dead on the beach, starvation hurts.
