Zombie Attacks on the RISE!!!
BBC, The Other Side, by Jack Ebbutt;
--Zombie attacks on survivors have increased within the past few years throughout Malton. Several groups gathered together yesterday, to discuss documented occurrences of zombie aggression and attacks on survivors, using data from the Dunnel Hills Police Department, the Malton Department of Emergency Management, and other sources.
Two-hundred and forty-eight such attacks were verified from July, 2007 through January, 2008, compared to 141 attacks during the six month period prior to that time; most incidents occurred in Northern Malton near the Survivor Security Zone.
Attack incidents are typically preceded by a sequence of increasingly bold zombie behaviors, including: nighttime attacks on wayward survivors caught outside; sightings of zombies in survivor occupied suburbs at night; sightings of zombies in morning and evening; attacks on newbies during daylight hours; attacks on revivers' and chasing of joggers and other health fanatics; and finally, mid-day sightings of zombies in and around many of Malton's malls.
In suburban areas, zombies can lose their fear of Hunters as a result of coming to rely on ample food resources including increased numbers of rodents, household waste, rotten flesh, soiled clothing and even intentional feeding of zombies by retarded residents. The safe environment provided by a wildlife-loving general public, who rarely display aggression toward predators like zombies, is also thought to be a major contributing factor.
The termination or reduction of zombie management programs adjacent to some urban areas has also served to contribute to zombies’ loss of fear of humans and to a dependency on resources in the suburban environment. Corrective action can be effective if implemented before zombie attacks on survivors become commonplace. However, if environmental modification and changes in human behavior toward zombies are delayed, then removal of offending predators by stabbing or shooting is required in order to resolve the threat to human safety even though complete eradication has been deemed improbable.
We note the failure of various non-lethal harassment techniques to correct the problem in situations where zombies have become habituated to human-provided food resources. Zombie attacks on survivors in suburbia are preventable, but the long-term solution of this conflict requires public education, changes in residents’ behavior, and in some situations, the means to effectively remove individual offending rotters and brazen zombie supporters.
