Gamers will spread the message, but i know they will not give a damn about it.

*Double Facepalm*

I wonder at what point they'll realize that the kind of parody they toss around will not always be shrugged off by the maker. Probably when a game developer sues them for deliberately attacking and damaging their brand.

"Was Link somehow unkind to Epona? "

I just want to take this time to indicate that at the end of Super Chick Brothers or whatever the hellwallowitz they called it, they indicated Yoshi was standing up for his rights to not be ridden around by Mario.  So yeah, they already did that.

As for my opinion in general, I don't like their games.  Like everything Peta does, the core of their philosophy isn't meant to educate and open dialogue, it's to gross you out to the point that you get offended and HOPEFULLY find some sheople like Pamela Anderson to giggle, shake, and get on camera about how bad animals are treated.  Handing children bloody toy cows and calling them murderers outside of McDonalds does NOT open discussion.  It opens controversy.  Filling a platformer with blood oozing KFC themed items doesn't make anyone think "hmm, maybe I should stop going to KFC" instead of thinking "hot crap!  This is gory as all hell."

Basically it's like this.  You don't get people to openly discuss sexually based violence in a community by slapping old ladies with your cock.  And that's the method Peta uses.  They do the most offensive thing possible to illicit a response and HOPE someone wants to talk to them after they were just a jerk hoping to understand WHY they were a jerk.  But me?  I just call them prats and move on.

If I could be fucked, I'd make a game called PETA Massacre where you kill PETA volunteers and small puppies.

 I seem to remember Chewbacca flying a spaceship. That's more than what you could say for most people. I think he's just a large hairy alien.

hey deepthorn... can you post a link to that particular forum... id like to read what they wrote... heh heh

I just had an epiphany of greatness.

What would PETA think of a fantasy movie in which a minotaur was slaughtering a satyr in war? Would they be offended at the human half slaughtering the goat half? What if the minotaur cut off the Satyrs legs? Would they rejoice in the liberation of this majestic goat creature from it's human counterpart? I MUST know this...

You know what? I don't give a [insert favorite four letter word here] about what PeTA does, becuase I know about 99.9% of the time I will be against it. They don't even follow their own guidelines. They kill more than they save. Know what? I like veggie burgers. I really do. They havent replaced actual hamburgers. I would like to make more of them. They make a nice quick breakfast. It takes too much time to cook hamburger before I have to go to school. They bribed to have towns change their names, and several PeTa employees changed their names to various PeTA websites. Yeah, someone changed their name to 'goveg.com' Effing insane, the lot of them 

PeTA is a joke. They can go to hell for all I care.

I like the crazy people.  It helps me feel sane.  Thanks PETA for all you do

Just FYI: a marksman trains his 'sights' on a target, not his sites.

Well, ATLEAST they figured out that gaming isn't just for kids... Unlike a bunch of other people aiming to stir up problems and blow them out of proportion in this industry...

Our game isn't an attack on the videogame industry. It's an attack on the meat industry.

So, you're attacking my favorite food industry, not my favorite entertainment industry, but it still feels like you're attacking both?  Wow, that'll make me care about what you have to say.  I propose a new custom.  Every time Peta makes a stupid statement, we go out for KFC.  Wait...  That would mean I'd have to eat thrice my weight in KFC just for this post alone...

What is it PETA has in their shrunken brains that makes them believe they have any say or must for some benefit to anyone be consulted and their approval won as to how the rest of the world lives their lives? What makes them think their opinion matters to anyone? Do we not hurt their dismissal to irrelevancy by dignifying their toddler-esque antics with a response?

Now, they claim, they have resorted to vandalizing intellectual property - video games - to push their message, with promise to do so repeatedly. Naturally they believe their antics are covered under parody laws, but with Cooking Mama Kills Animals, however, they've crossed the line with all four feet. Cooking Mama Kills Animals is a demo-sized fully-functional derivative work of the franchise using almost exactly identical artwork, art style, and gameplay retaining fully the core ‘spirit’ of the game and could easily be passed off to uninformed audiences as a legitimate extension of the franchise. I think instead of a ‘goveg’ version of the game, Majesco should build a case to sue the adulterated swine.

Honestly, if they’ve taken things this far, why not make a full commercial product? An all-veg cooking game that, for a change, actually teaches the inexperienced how to cook? If they could stay the pathetically desperate need for constant self-promotion, never mentioning how much money PETA needs or the ‘evils’ of the omnivorous diet, why not a fully functional game that teaches players from start to finish a few dozen all-veg recipes? Ingredient selection, cutting methods, cooking temperatures, times, timing for multiple dishes, suggested presentation, serving sizes … Again, never mention the underlying agenda. Instead, you have a fan base to a game that knows in precise detail how to cook a few dozen vegetable recipes when they might otherwise know only how to make reservations.

This of course suggests that PETA is capable of creating something beyond the motive of self promotion. These are not captains of debate, PETA, but instead a drift of squealing swine who are masters of the shouting match, and as such the collaborative effort needed to make a viable commercial product to discretely spread their message is simply beyond the group’s modus operandi. They are nothing short of a fanatical domestic terrorist group apparently willing to commit near-treasonous acts of vandalism and potentially life-threatening property damage to push their ends.

They cannot reconcile the hypocrisy of meat-eating animals in the wild with their main message and thus they prove to be utterly meaningless and I would prefer no tax dollars go to them nor any tax exemption be granted.

honestly, these games pose more fun than any educational load of bullox i could imagine :)

gets kids ready for stuffin them turkeys! rip off them feathers and cut'er up! woo hoo! bloody mess ahoy!

PETA fights a battle that was lost some billions of years ago, theres no way in hell we're going to stop eating meat, let alone having pets or anything else, its the basic nature of life.

its like literally trying to get an carniverious animal to stop eating meat... it won't happen without killing the thing first.

ever seen a cat on an all veggie diet? even a house cat would become ill from that, and i've seen plenty of cases during my time at the Humane society to prove it. (literally, we had someone bring a cat in mal nurished because the owner tried to feed it only things like beans, corn and rice, the owner being a vegan. the poor thing was nearly dead, and almost didn't live as it was!) many mal nurished pets come into places like that because of that reasoning, dogs and cats NEED meat, veggies ain't actually good for them, and those "all veggie" diet foods they make for pets may be all veggie, but they have additives FROM meat sources to complete the round and make the food digestible by the animal.

Oh, thats just ****ing great, which game is likely to get attacked next?  Though these kinda things just make for good pointing and laughing at PETA.

Bet Legend of Zelda is next since Link rides a horse and those morons at PETA hate that.

Hmm...nice plan, PETA, but it still doesn't change the common consensus that you're still a bunch of psychotic loonies.
