PETA and Greenpeace both have the same problem: The journey has become their only purpose. They don't really want what they ask for, if they get it they'll just up the ante.

First off, as much as I like animals I can't stand PETA. Secondly, what is an online petition going to do. Lastly, it sounds like a bad game.

Hmmm I'm not a fan of PETA at all... but I suppose the game is fair enough albeit slightly contrary to their supposed "don't really do anything illegal" position. (i.e. nothing illegal like running round a store vandalising stuff with spray paint.)

Two things though, is this aimed at children? PETA have a track record of, innapropriately IMHO, foisting their political views on kids. Second thing, if it is aimed at children are the videos linked the sort of things parents will be happy for their children to view?

Gift.

The game was rather lackluster. I only played it on easy, but it was rather annoying to play.

But I agree, PETA is another one of those annoying groups that could be doing something more productive. I guess they like to hang out with Greenpeace.

PETA can go suck themselves off. Nothing more but extremists hypocrites. I despise PETA, they don't know shit and they help no one. I forgot what they're called, but there's another animal groups, who, I think, are much better.

PETA needs to burn in hell, or at very least freeze to death in the giant freezers they use to store all the animals they kill.

@bugger
I agree, if animals didn't want to be eaten then they wouldn't be made out of meat. Why can't PETA understand that simple fact?

I'm going to use a novel, unheard of concept to these people. I won't buy the product.

Wow, no need for a petition or anything, not even need for a cheap ass game.

this is stupid while i do not like "high" fasion it is up to people who buy this stuff as to what they get not peta also it is natural for people to eat meat and vegies not just vegies

Yuck.

I can't stand PETA, they demand too many things. You can't have your spotted owl and eated too (For the record, delicious).

Why do anti animal-skin campaigners never spray paint over, say, Hells Angels' leather jackets? ;)

PETA is the yuppies of protests groups. They in all honesty do more harm than good. At times they come of eco-terrorists.

Koopas aren't turtles?

@ myrpok

@E.Z.K.: There is a parody of the group, PETA. They call themselves People for the Eating of Tasty Animals.

@ myrpok

It's still up, more than likely- or at least, cuts and edits. There are a bunch of vegans going around spreading lies and trying to make PETA look better by attempting to redirect attention.

I've seen PETA-based video games before- one of them was a blatant rip-off of Super Mario Bros., where the enemy is Colonel Sanders, and Princess Peach is replaced by Pamela Anderson.
...
I'm not lying. You just CAN'T make this crap up, you'd have to be crazy beforehand.
But in any case, I'll listen when PETA realizes that meat is essential in the human diet, animals die when crops are sewn and harvested, animal-based medical research is responsible for the things keeping us alive, and that it's hypocritical of them to protest shelters for killing off animals when they turn around and do the exact same thing when nobody's looking.
I'm not holding my breath, of course.

I personally see nothing wrong with fur, as long as the animal wasn't abused in life. Too often, "fur farms" keep the animals in small cages and poorly fed, and handlers sometimes mistreat them. But that's not always the case. Content and healthy animals have more beautiful coats, so many of those farms give their stock a decent life before they're harvested.

Besides, humans have been wearing fur (and eating meat) since... well, since we could be clasified as homo sapiens. And Fur looks good, feels great, and is quite warm in the winter. To hell with PETA and thier extremist views.

You know, I've always found it ironic that they believe that by destroying personal property they can stop fur sales. I mean, if you ruin someone's fur coat, don't you think they're going to buy another one, thus artificially creating demand which would not otherwise be there?

PETA is the single-most easily trollable group in the universe though. Zippo Cat should get 'em every time.

@ Papa Midnight

Ha! I diddn't think anyone else knew about the group that IMAO started.

On the one hand, their fanatical followers provide a useful service, SOMETIMES. Like exposing that cow-abuse story in the US that resulted in the meat recall.

BUT the rest of the time, they are lunatics. There's a difference between exposing animal abuse, and being a vandal/terrorist.

Yeah! The SPCA, that's it! Thanks :D

While I'm not a fan of wearing fur, PETA and all their hypocrisy can go straight to hell.

P.E.T.A.

People Eating Tasty Animals.

People
Enforcing
Tyrannical
Agendas

or we can start our own P.E.T.A.

People Enjoying the Torturing of Animals.

Our 1st assignments:

Get Micheal Vick off the hook and re-open the Roman Colisseum to gladiators fighting animals.

Hell it can't possibly be harder then trying to convince everyone on the planet to not eat meat whilst coming off as nutjobs and extremists.

@myrpok

I love penn and teller BS.

Unfortunately I don't get showtime so I have to rely on people posting the episodes on youtube.

So yeah, a summary of all the above comments would be 'PETA sucks balls'. I would be inclined to agree.

@Father Time "Oh and has anyone here ever debated someone from PETA?"

Tried to quite frequently, particularly regarding medical research, but there's only so much banging my head against a wall I could take. It's my experience of groups like PETA which convinced me they aren't so much about animal welfare as misanthropy. Humans are seemingly to blame for everything, unlike other animals have no right to eat a normal diet or form symbiotic relationships with other species. I think this is why farmers or scientists can be condemned for hurting animals but they just can't bring themselves to condemn the terrorist activities of the ALF/ELF etc.

All of which would be bad enough, but they also lie and distort facts to achieve their ends. Whether it's claiming humans can be simulated on computers, that basic research is "unnecessary cruelty" or that animals cannot be used to model humans, groups like PETA never disclose all pertinent information when presenting their case. (and that's putting it politely.)

Gift.

I hope the petition isn't also peppered with images of slaughtered animals.

@Overcast

Wow, that just made PETA seem like the sickest shit-heads in the world.

While treating animals really cruely is wrong, all of gods creatures have a place in this world.

Right next to the potatoes and gravy.

While i think almost all would agree that torture and unnecessary cruelty to animals is wrong, PETA are just plain out fanatical nutcases. They don't seem to realize that animals hunt and kill each other to eat all the time. If they can do it why can't we.
As for furs, while i'd never wear one (unless i was living in the Canadian arctic during Winter), i don't see a problem with them so long as they don't use endangered species or put the animal through alot of pain while killing it. (Such as baby seal clubbing, that goes a bit to far IMHO)

PETA - People of the Eating Of Tasty Animals are annoying...

Plants are also alive and have been scientifically proven to have feelings.

Why is PETA for the mass genocide of the plant kingdom and why does it support the murderous animals(every animal not including humans) that eat these innocent helpless gentle creatures that give us the very oxygen we all breath?!?!?!?!?!?!?

In comparison, (unless we eat them or use them for other things) the only things that animals do is murder plants on a daily basis and produce greenhouse gases... oh and some of them kill other animals including humans...

I don't want animals treated badly either but lets face it, the kind of fanatical devotion to this cause that PETA exemplifies is a complete overreaction...

and us for the game, it is seems dull...

to PETA:

Animal cruelty may be wrong, but that doesn't make being cruel to people ok.

Maybe PETA is right, maybe we shouldn't eat animals, just members of PETA. Waiter, I'll have a PETAburger followed by PETA stroganoff.

How about PETA standing for Preppy Egotistical Terrorist Arseholes?

It's the people that hunt that are the real environmentalists.

If we were to let certain animal populations go out of control, well, we'd be fucked. I don't think I need to tell any of you why.

One of friend's stepsisters is a PETA supporter and has all these PETA pamphlets plastered onto her door with stuff like "Animals are not ours to eat" and crap like that. My friend works at a fast food shop and her stepsister keeps on putting the "KFC Tortures Chickens" pamphlets on her door. I find that absolutely disgusting as I don't like people trying force their views onto other people.

I'm all against animal cruelty, but PETA is going about it all the wrong ways.

Boy... I have always hated PETA. Its filled with mean vegiheads who are basicly against anyone eating meat, wearing fur or going against animal testing. Though I do not agree with the fur trade, as alot of it is inhumaine, Peta goes to far with everything. Obveously they can not comprehend the circle of life either. Even animals eat meat. Thats how its been for a VERY LONG TIME. If they love animals so much couldent they understand this? Also We are the superior beings... we top the food chain. So obveously it would make sense for us to eat what is below it. Im all for animal rights, but when it comes to wanting animal liberation... that is messed up. Many people are uninformed on what peta really is. Even most of its members. Peta does not want you to have pets.. Peta wants your pets to run free... and be free.. no zoos or animal sancuarys either basicly... Which in the long run would be WORSE for the animals... Also Peta suposivly saves animals... DO you know that they KILL more animals than they save? Thats true. They claim that sometimes its best for an animal to go to sleep forever then for it to live on...

Im against Peta.. Sorry but I wont be playing this game.

Kheldar said: "I find that absolutely disgusting as I don’t like people trying force their views onto other people."

The obvious response to that would be "stop forcing your views on the animals."
