In an emergency, is it safe to eat the geese at my local park?

I have about 50 within walking distance (comfortable walking distance. About 100 within 3 miles. Few thousand at about 11 miles).

As long as we stay at the 100 marker or less in my area, we would be fine if everyone could get along. Plenty of animals and farm knowledge to sustain. Only problem would be water.

I work in a factory that employs over 500 people... Not the only big plant around here either... so all of those people live in the general area. Yes, there is farm land, but how many people can farm in industrial scale without heavy equipment? I at least have horses and could probably rig things to use them for farming, well, 2 of them, the other one would climb a tree if you asked him to plow...

So if I wanted to eat a goose from my local park.....would that be ok?

Only if SHTF and you already tried to domesticate them.

But technically if you need to yes?

Oh, there would assuredly be chaos FOR A WHILE. But... Electricity is awfully new. It's not like Rome was just all "Oh, we have more than 30 people better collapse now". And it's not like it'd all be gone - removing all electricity with no opportunity to make more is silly. It's not like biofuel stops existing just because we stop having working power plants - we just have to change the scale.

People are remarkably good at organizing even without technology.

Romans utilized slavery and oppression to bring in resources.

This is going down the greed/power ideology

One more round then I’ll ever be able to shoot is a start.

I actually heard something the other day about people that have been practicing mortuary cannibalism (eating a piece of the dead person as a sign of respect) for many generations are actually resistant to prion diseases (same type of disease as mad cow) due to the consumption of other people. I assume that the people that were less resistant then became more dead people for everyone to snack on and so the more resistant got more and more resistant with each generation.

One of the cultures that used to practice that (they're extinct now for unrelated reasons) didn't eat the nervous system though. I believe it was flesh from the limbs or torso, not the organs

Let’s hope we don’t go back to slavery and oppression.

Agreed, and so did the USA. Doesn't mean it HAD to go down that way. The point is, it's not like electricity is required for a cohesive society or even a highly functional one. People all over the globe did without electricity for an awfully long time in groups of more than 30 and it's silly to think that removing it would change the fact that humans will most assuredly organize into groups of more than 30.
