How do you know it wouldn't take 3 years, or 3 decades? No way in hell Quinn's group would survive that long.Also, again, you act as if Quinn housed the entirety of the dragon's food supply, when he was only one group out of many survivors spread across the world. Even if Quinn went underground, the dragons would just find somebody else to eat. It's not like Quinn's camp contained every human survivor left on the planet.
I hope to God you never lead a group of surviviors in a situation like this, since your tactic is "Let everyone starve until the problem just blows over someday".
I'd say cutting off the dragon's ability to reproduce>>>>>>>>>>>>ineffective attempt at starving them that doesn't work because they'll eat other survivors, and only gets you killed by malnutrition instead. Van defintiely had the better plan, and you're a fool to think differently.
Watch the film again. The dragon's were starving by the time Van Zan arrives and Quinn's people manged to survive just fine until the females starved out, as they certainly didn't just vanish when the male died. "It's been what, three months since we saw the last one?" -Quinn
Other groups of people were obviously finding ways to survive; probably by staying hidden. We know this cos of the message from France at the end of the film.
Derp. "You!!!!" Derp. LoL, now you're claiming Quinn's group would have "starved to death", when before they were fine and fully nourished according to you. Backpedaling is fun.
Van Zan's plan lead to the death of a lot of people. Quinn's plan would have had them living and the male dragon back in hibernation for an obscenely long length of time. Do love how you're implying Quinn's a coward now for his "dig in" tactic, when before he was a "badass". Backpedaling must really be fun, eh.
