PETA Angry at DICE. Seriously?

[terminator363]

You have got to kidding me.

Edit: You guys should watch the Penn & Teller video linked on that page.

If BF3 does influence some little kiddie, he'll be busier shooting people than animals...

Here's my opinion in three words: glorified publicity stunt.

 

[TommyWizard]

Its true. I thought I could backflip of a swing like in the wrestling games. After 2 plates and 13 screws you definatly cannot.

lol. Its a joke but they will do whatever it takes to get someone to click the link and read what they have to winge about. Not long ago I remember reading an article a girl posted complaining about the killing of Dogs in COD4, then someone commented on it saying "Funny how she is more concerned at her brother killing dogs rather than the hundred of virtual soldiers in the game". Lol.

Attention seekers, they need to die like reality television. And hipsters. Defiantly hipsters.

 

[GTMail]

PETA's next move: Saying that killing a dog that is trying to bite your face off is also a bad example(MW3)

 

[The Bman]

PETA is just plain stupid. A rat? Seriously?

 

[Crispy]

Hmm, why are they getting mad at a Video Game instead of pest control and things like that.

Honestly I think PETA should just go away. We don't need them, they are just nuisances. Plus statistics show they do more harm than good.

They are actually responsible for a large percentage of animal deaths.

That's cause Peta is really a large troll organization

Here's proof thanks to OLDSKOOLACURA

 

[terminator363]

Hmm.

I guess I'll have to go down to my local animal shelter and kill every living animal there. Wish me luck.














JK.

Founder of PETA: "She was sterilised at the age of 22 because she opposes giving birth". Really? How can you oppose something which is totally natural, and happens everywhere, including in the animals she is 'protecting'.

All part of the trolling factor.

 

[SuperShouden]

Be warned that PETA has been notorious for making up facts. Like "Studies show Vegetarians have better sex." And I think there was a anti-beef campaign that said something like "eating beef causes cancer" or something. I'm assuming the "Video games lead to animal cruelty" tag line is another completely bogus statement.

Also this:

But, she doesn't oppose giving birth in general, just human birth. And I say that makes her a terrorist. I mean, to oppose human birth is to oppose the human race, right? And she supports two actual domestic terrorist organizations. (ALF & ELF) Thus, I say, PETA, itself, is a terrorist organization.

Nice! 👍

 

[The Bman]

Holy crap. I never knew that I could consider PETA a terror organization until I saw that picture.

 

[TankAss95]

It's an 18+ game. Legally youngsters shouldn't be playing it, so therefore I see no problem.
Next they'll be banning mouse traps...

 

[SuperShouden]

Also, in 2007, two PETA employees were caught tossing the bodies of 31 dogs into a dumpster in Carolina. The case evidence says that PETA used words like "adorable" and "perfect" to describe the very animals they ended killing. So...PETA is not only killing animals, they're knowingly killing healthy animals...hey, doesn't this kind of sound like the holocaust? Only instead of Jews being killed by the thousands, it's animals? True, they've only killed 25,000 animals, not 6 million, but....still.

I read about this. I think what their thoughts on the mario game is worse. They believed the racoon outfit you wear was condoling "skinning animals and wearing fur skin coats".

Hmm

And here I thought Mario was just a closet furry.

 

[UnionStrike]

PETA is insane, not the first time they've protested something retarded. I'm glad she sterilized herself, I won't have to worry about her reproducing.

 

[Ellis]

"When on a mission to rescue the princess, Mario has been known to use any means necessary to defeat his enemy—even wearing the skin of a raccoon dog to give him special powers.

Tanooki may be just a "suit" in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By wearing Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it's OK to wear fur"

The site even has a game

[Brando-K]

I always knew that PETA was slightly crazy, but still a group that did good...
After reading those statistics I'm not going to even think about helping them. They're often at the shopping centre/mall, I think I might remind them of those facts the next time I see those people.

On topic though... That's just ridiculous a rat. Maybe the player has to kill it because it's un-adoptable.

 

[SuperShouden]

I love how the game PETA made is 100 times more violent and gruesome than ANYTHING Nintendo has EVER put out.

 

[Crumpet]

They just want something to moan about.....

 

[Cowboys965]

Brutality? It was like a short thing and it was biting you...

I wonder if it is real though, since the Mario thing was fake I think, right?

 

[Crumpet]

Who cares about the death of video game animals? I just spent the day killing all 200 pigeons hidden across Liberty City (GTA IV)..

It was just a rat, people kill them in real life, and have an excuse if it was attacking you..

 

[OLDSKOOLACURA]

PETA is a big joke (I'm not laughing tho). they do nothing to help animals.

 

[LaBounti]

How did they miss the mass killing of Animals in Red Dead Redemption . And what power does PETA have for any one to fear them? I do not like PETA.

Because you're hunting them, get it?

But really, killing a rat is nothing. Rats is a common parasite, so it won't make much contribution to animal cruelty. Perhaps they thought the way he had to kill it infuriated PETA, but in a standpoint, it's ridiculous.
