PETA is taking the fight against Canadian seal slaughterers to the digital plains of World of Warcraft. A call to arms was placed on PETA’s official blog this afternoon, asking people to take part in a fight against four Horde miscreants that apparently, uh, kill seals for their luxurious fur.
“Thrall refused to ban the slaughter of seals, despite multiple requests from the Alliance to do so, because Orgrimmar stands to make a large profit from the fur,” reads the posting. "Activists from across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor are banding together to put a stop to the atrocious seal slaughter. Anyone who slaughters baby seals for their fur must surely be in service to the evil Lich King."
So ... if you’re hot for some animal activism on a snowy plain, just head on down to Howling Fjord (WhisperWind realm) on Saturday April 11, at 1 P.M. (Eastern). Look for the baby seals and the (presumably) throbbing mass of angry people crowding them. I’m sure it’ll be a rousing event.

PETA makes me hate animals. I'm gonna go club a few dozen seals IRL just to prove a fucking point.
These seals could be VERMIN! A blight to the land! Murdering innocent children and murlocks! I for one will not stand for such ignorance!
Those "Baby Seals" are just polygons and textures... Not real animals.
Are these people delusional? Or just simply OUT OF THEIR MINDS?!
TWIST ITS FUCKING HEAD OFF
Besides, unless these people are driving...I dunno, air-powered cars, INNOCENT DINOSAURS AND OTHER ANCIENT CUTE THINGS DIED FOR YOUR GASOLINE AND MOTOR OIL (and sins). :D
@ChronicLogic
I've been Alliance since day one and I enjoy my Great Feasts very much :]
Now that thats out of the way I'm going to shop for my new hunting rifle.
It's funny the shit PETA does. I live in one of the most liberal cities on the west coast, and we recently had a PETA demonstration of a bunch of people in bloody fur coats protesting fur coats.
For the record, they even admitted to the local news interviews that they did not see one person wearing a fur coat.
Also for the record, as I was driving by on my way back to work from lunch, when I saw the PETA sign on the corner, I rolled my window down and shouted "For every animal you don't eat I'll eat three!"
Maddox would be so proud.
We get that. It's just a really stupid way to protest seal hunting.
(BTW I hate PETA)
"The PeTA Files"
lol
Gaming did this to me.
@Grimhound: I considered that too when reading this article.
Good god, talk about gamers being dumb. This isn't a "real" protest, it's a battle between horde and alliance. Geese.
PETA get bad press for some of the mental things that they do. Yet when they do something cool, like this, people complain.
Would you rather they fire bomb Blizzard?
I just love the squishy sound.
Seriously though, i would LOVE to shoot a seal with my 2.70 rifle. In the face. That would make a cool noise! Spppppllllllluuuuueeeeeeessshhhhhh.

I don't think theres a level requirement to enter Northrend at all. Even if there was, the requirement would have been 68+. Its definitely recommended to be 68+ though if you want to survive out in Howling Fjord though.
The Canadian government didn't give a shit about your real protests (like everyone else who isn't a PETA member does with all your protests), but I'm sure they'll change their mind when a bunch of MMORPG recluses get involved.
Nah, there's a lot of problems with the seal hunt. Primarily that the EU has been waffling back and forth on banning import of the furs. If that happens then it'll be unprofitable and it'll stop but it'll also knacker the maritime economy and destroy a lot of lives for a while.
true story many of the animals PETA rescues they actually just freeze (citing a more "humane" death) to death because what the f-ck else are they gonna do with the ones they don't sleep with or marry.
