Vampires have traditionally hunted down live humans to drink their blood from. This ensured proper nutrition and provided an additional means of reproduction, creating more vampires. The vampire community prospered during this time. A dietary crisis resulted. Vampires stopped buying condoms for their fangs, causing the value of stocks for those manufacturing companies to plummet. Investors panicked and tried selling everything they could, triggering The Great Depression.

abstract
  • Vampires have traditionally hunted down live humans to drink their blood from. This ensured proper nutrition and provided an additional means of reproduction, creating more vampires. The vampire community prospered during this time. Beginning in the early 1900s, humanity started becoming more conscious of their impact on the environment, and began to openly discuss their societal responsibilities for a sustainable future. Vampires also began questioning their impact on the planet, particularly on humans as their primary food source. More educated individuals wondered if their rate of growth could be sustained if they continued to feast only on people; sooner or later, they could overwhelm the ecosystem and be forced to prey upon one another, violating cultural norms. In fact, this situation had happened previously during the Black Plague, which nobody wanted a repeat of. Vampires also benefited from mankind's advances in medical education, and learned of all the harmful diseases they were exposing themselves to in real blood. Some of these diseases could be traced back to the meatpacking industry through Upton Sinclair's recent book The Jungle, which revealed how people who ate meat contaminated with rat feces could transmit dissolved rat feces through their blood in turn to vampires. Affected vampires could then transmit these bloodborne illnesses, including HIV/AIDS, to subsequent victims. Protection proved impractical, however: a vampire attempting to bite someone while wearing a condom over each fang quickly killed the mood for both parties involved. A dietary crisis resulted. Vampires stopped buying condoms for their fangs, causing the value of stocks for those manufacturing companies to plummet. Investors panicked and tried selling everything they could, triggering The Great Depression.
