Would You...

Well, let's just look at the whole sequence of events that would make it likely for me to be in a survival situation where hunting and killing an ape in the wild.

I would have to be transferred to a part of the world where apes live.

I would have to be unemployable; all jobs be it poo shoveling, garbage collecting, septic tank cleaning, or any other job would be completely unavailable.

There would have to be a famine.

For some reason, the apes in the area would not be affected by this famine.

It is so unlikely, as to be almost impossible. So, if I were starving on the streets of greater Detroit, and I found a dead ape, sure. I would eat it.

I would not fly to africa to kill an ape, however.

dude, the premise has to be accepted in order to answer the question - there's no point in arguing about why you're there in that situation in the first place, or whether you would be, because the question was "if you were starving like those plane-crash victims". maybe there was a gorilla being transported on the plane, and you crashed in the rocky mountains, in a blizzard!? seems that you're just being argumentative...

No, I am trying to be specific. If I survived a plane crash high up in the mountains, and while searching through the wreckage, came upon an ape corpse, I would eat it.

I have accepted your premise.

Candy's open-ended suggestion, "if I were starving"... I live in MICHIGAN. I have to assume that I would be starving... in MICHIGAN.
