Depends. Can they be cured and returned to their faculties with minimal negative repercussions and trauma?
.
If yes, then it's better to kill as few as possible and save what you can because there are people in there.
.
If no, then you're either saving a mindless husk bent on your death, OR you're perpetuating the endless agony of being fully aware of who you are and what you're doing, but being unable to control any of it as you literally rip other people to pieces at the behest of some sort of parasite.
I mean I'm not talking about listening to them, I'm taking more the notion itself haha
.
Either way if we're talking typical zombie apocalypse scenario then it doesn't matter much because it would be fairly wasteful for people to just kill every zombie they encountered. Ammunition/energy etc would run out very quickly and then they'd die
That goes back into energy (and risk). Food is rarely easy to come by in apocalypse scenarios, getting injured in any survival situation (even minorly) is a HUGE setback and could potentially be fatal
.
Spending time mowing down zombies unnecessarily would use up energy reserves needed for defense and resource maintenance/gathering, and put survivors at greater risk of injury unnecessarily
that is correct, but killing 20 zombies or saving 20 zombies, which is easier? its a lot easier to mow down 20 than it is to TRY and save 20, where you'd have to put yourself much closer to them, increasing your risk of getting injured or dying
I mean, if you have to kill them to survive then obviously that's what you have to do. Just like any human that attacks you. Never debated that
.
But chances are you wouldn't have to kill all 20 necessarily
