Old Hebrew expression: If you know *someone is coming to kill you, get up early and go kill them first.









*alive, dead, reanimated, undead, revived, revenant, etc.

No, it's not okay. Same relationship as between people and cows, people and pigs, etc.

Very good novel on this very topic called 'I am Legend'. It was made into a movie called 'The Omega Man' (not the rubbish Will Smith one).
