You know the most gruesome form of virtual animal abuse was that little piece they did to mock Cooking Mama. I mean come on. Nobody is going to top that.

PETA game related story # 98 - We have nothing better else to do than to parade on nonsensical stuff.

Jesus Christ Jim, slow down! is it just you working this week or have most of all the other editors just decided to fuck off? i hope you get paid the most for your work because you are working your ass while the other editors just decide to post personal bullshit that has no relevance other then a "decent" story. good work bud.

Why did you censor the word "fuck"?

Black, why wouldn't he? Jim hasn't sworn in his life, I doubt he'd start now.

Has anyone complained that PETA created their own game where you "brutally murder" a turkey for thanksgiving supper?
Oh wait, but they were trying to use violence to make a point...

Do you have it in you to snap this dog's neck?!

Someone should put these protesters and PETA fools in a room with a Nazi attack dog and see if they still hold their opinions. Somehow, if they survive, I doubt they will view this the same way. Seriously, grow up, this game represents war, and things like this happen in war. Quit PETA, join Habitat for Humanity, Teach for America or the Peace Corps if you really want to help things. These people need to STFU if they're going to ignore common sense and just complain about this stuff. They really must have too much free time if they're going out of their way for this crap.

what about all that dog killing in MGS3? i usually used a tranq gun on them though, cause an honorable person who would never think about killing animals, i just can't bring myself to even kill what essentially boils down to a picture of an animal

Resident Evil has zombie dogs and now in RE5 those dogs have had huge ugly potatoe looking like thisg shoved down their throats!

ZOMG!

No there's a misunderstanding...you are SUPPOSED to kill ONLY 83 to 86% of the dogs...any more and you're obviously guilty of animal cruelty (1)...any less and you're being inhumane by leaving them in Nazi hands (2).

Oi vey. PETA never ceases to amaze me with their stupidity.

Some developer needs to just make a fur simulator for the Wii, with minigames like bash the baby seal and skin the cuddly kitten. That would really ruffle their feathers.

i like when i blow them up with grenades. If PETA knew they gave you +3xp they would kill em too!

@ Cuban B:

"Tofu - 50G - complete the game without killing an animal"

Although it's just 1's and 0's I did feel uneasy killing them while at a friend's house.

I'm not against it for the killing, though. I'm against it because it's a dumbass thing to have replaced the helicopter with.

one of us has actually been able to breed with an ostrich! "killll meee..."

I will hopefully be calling the dogs instead of killing them!

I'd take that box of nintendogs. Probably wouldn't get shit, but I'd trade 'em in and get a game with animal cruelty in it.

@Chronic

That dog is giving me the stink eye, so yes naturally I would defend myself.

Im with BlackDove here, why did ya censor yourself Jim?

It's all rational thinking untill someone gets mauled by a peta bear

Oh goodie, PETA is now involved. Now we can expect the issue to be discussed in a calm and intelligent matter.

Snap it's neck... would you kindly. ;)

PETA are pagans/animalists - people who literally worship animals. They aren't for "equal" treatment - PETA see humans as scum and animals as divine, blessed, holy, always-good creatures. PETA have this disney-inspirid, fuzzy-wuzzy notion that all animals are joyful, happy and non-violent. They literally believe "The Lion King" accurately represents Animal life.

As someone who has studied animal biology and behavior, and as actually BEEN in the wild (1 year studying the forests near Kota Kinabalu) all I can say is that if animals had advanced technology, they would be even worse than humans when it came to killing.

PETA are literally insane, identifying and imposing their own values on animals. We can't talk or communicate with animals in any effective manner, we don't know what they're thinking or feeling. PETA, on the other hand, thinks that animals are just like people, just in a different form. They literally believe that animals have concepts like equality, freedom, democracy and so on. They believe that animals can think just like people, despite having NO evidence to that claim.

But have no fear - PETA and people like them are a very small minority. A very vocal minority to be sure, but they are far, far too small to do anything. The real people you need to be afraid of are the "Animal Liberation Front" groups, who are basically just terrorists, willing to kill scientists and people all to help "wobbles-the-rabbit" get out of that awful, awful cage.
