Walking Dead: Can animals get the virus in The Walking Dead? – Express.co.uk

Taking to Quora, a number of fans shared their thoughts with Rodrigo Gonzlez posting in 2016: As you might know, AMC's The Walking Dead is based-off the comic of the same name, written by Robert Kirkman.

Kirkman stated on an interview (unfortunately, I don't remember which) that animals do not reanimate as walkers, because they are not carrions of the virus that makes them come back as one of them.

Additionally, the survivors on both the Comic Series and the TV Show encounter a deer that has been bitten by walkers, while staying in the Atlanta camp (Rick and Shane, and Daryl, respectively).

On the Comic Series at least, they agree that animals don't "turn", and have a debate whether they should eat it or not, resulting in them leaving the dead deer to rot.

While Tamara Wilhite commented: They likely die of the disease if not the physical damage of the attack.
