1. The zombies are so stupid and are such an easy meal that every predator in the world would eat them.

2. If they were in a hot and humid place, the zombies would rot until they exploded. In a dry heat they might actually mummify. Extreme cold could actually freeze them solid.

3. Biting is actually a terrible way to spread a disease.

4. The terrain is against them. Zombies move pretty slowly. They're like snakes: even the fastest ones can be outrun by a human. So, on open terrain, we could just run away from them. In the city we could just go to the top of the skyscrapers and keep them out with fire doors.

5. Do you know why we are at the top of the food chain? Not because we're hard to kill, but because we kill other things the easiest. That is actually one of the reasons we put limits on how many animals hunters can kill: because if we didn't hunters would be able to clear entire forests almost single-handedly. We are smarter than everything else on this planet, and zombies are in fact probably the stupidest.

6. We can kill from a distance, unlike everything else, with this miraculous invention called the gun. Zombies are stuck with their hands and teeth. And we invented the first weapons because our "claws" are dull and small, and our teeth are puny. They suck for fighting. Plus we have the damn military which every zombie movie/show seems to totally forget about.

7. For some reason all zombie movies have people turning against each other. This is completely incorrect. Studies show that people are more likely to work together in dangerous situations, not less, as these movies would have you believe. When humans work together, we can accomplished extraordinary things. Take the prehistoric hunters who banded together to become the first humans to kill an animal (the Mammoth) more than five times our size with nothing but sharpened sticks and simple hand axes carved of flint.

8. Think for a moment. How do zombies increase their numbers? What is their only source of food? And what is the most dangerous animal alive? The answer to all of these questions is the same. Us. Every time a zombie needs to feed, every time they need to create more zombies, they must go up against the most dangerous predator that hunts them, and thanks to our wonderful firearms and other projectile weapons, the odds of a zombie getting close enough to make the kill are slim to none, depending on exactly how fast that particular zombie shuffles along.
