Great response - even if I can buy a pig with bullets it doesn't help anything else. That assumes you can butcher and store the meat. This seems like a kind of bikeshedding argument - the bike shed is built so don't worry about the actual nuclear reactor, you can always just hide in the bike shed. Doesn't matter how well built the bike shed is - you're still surrounded by nuclear fallout

I lived in Syria for a period during the civil war and I can assure you worrying about your next meal is not just "bike shedding."

As for slaughtering we did it ourselves. AS for storage we just ate and shared it to the point the number of mouths required to eat before it went bad was reached.

During my time in the YPG villagers often contributed to food while militia used their bullets against ISIS.
