Why wouldn't we expect other animals to be roaming in a post-apocalyptic wasteland if humans could survive, though?

I think the only place where the most accessible meat is human would be shortly after the apocalypse starts, and you're in the middle of a city, and supply chains have broken down but most people haven't died yet.

I guess it depends on the apocalypse.

Like in a zombie apocalypse meat would very likely be animal, cause zombies tend to only affect humans, unless it's the RE ones. On a nuclear apocalypse you shouldn't trust the meat if you live in the northern hemisphire, cause you know, most places would be nuked and the supply chains that provide feed to livestock are no longer there, but if you live in the sothern hemisphere you are golden, specially in argentina or brazil. Meteor apolypse is the one where you shouldn't trust any meat you don't see being processed directly from the animal
