After titles such as Super Chick Sisters, PETA figured there was no reason to stop there: why not inject the universe with a further dose of their own brand of creativity? This time the result is Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals, a flash game that more or less follows Mama's dark path as I outlined way back when.
Play the game and you'll find yourself playing a demonized version of Majesco's lovable character, who prepares Thanksgiving dinner by plucking the feathers and innards out of a dead turkey. The game clearly intends to disgust the player by showing these things, which is hard to react to when it's done in a cartoon style.
At a quick glance, one might think that PETA is trying to imply that the Cooking Mama titles are heartless games that show Mama cheerfully preparing all kinds of dead animals for scrumptious meals (and they certainly are delicious -- the whole thing made me hungry for a holiday meal), but I think what they are actually going for is to find an effective way to speak to the gamer about not eating animals. Unfortunately, this isn't it.

Eh, whatever. Goes good with stuffing all the same.
True story.
In before idiots try to defend PETA as a reputable organization.
And yeah, they should get a fat lawsuit for ripping off some highly recognisable parts of the Cooking Mama brand. Maybe they'll have to declare bankruptcy and finally shut the fuck up.
(imaginary PETA supporter) Do you know what they do to those poor chickens?
(Jim's response) Noooo...but it's delicious.
Here's a link to the bonus wallpaper you get at the end for beating it, so you guys don't have to waste your time.

Oh boy I really hope they take 'em to court. Of course being the video games industry they'll probably just do nothing, as ever.
@Necrozen- wow, bashing christianity huh? How original.
There's a point where an honest, just cause turns into a joke.
Hey, I'm fine that you are a vegetarian. You don't need to shove it down my throat, though.
And I've seen what an animal looks like when it's gutted and dressed, so you ain't shocking me...especially when it's shown in cartoon form.
...Wait, it's not supposed to be funny?
Oh well. Time to go eat some meat. Mmmmm, delicious meat. I'd almost feel bad if animals could reason or feel emotions.
I mean really, how many of us would buy a cooking mama game where you have to gut and clean the animal before you cook it? I know I would. Cooking mama, rated M for HARDCORE AWESOME ANIMAL GORE!
Well like Christianity, PETA opens themselves up for these sorts of attacks. PETA is really almost no different than the psycho christian fundy's, both are only concerned about themselves and making sure they shove thier close minded views onto everyone else.
my main problem with PETA is that while animal rights may be nice and all, but compared to some of the other issues in the world, its tiny. Lets work on human rights first, before we make any attempts at animal rights.
The whole point of this is to force Majesco into making a vegan versio of Cooking Mama...
What?
Something is seriously wrong with PETA
You should totally contract a Flash game developer to make such a game for use in the next Destructoid tournament.
PETA is basically Poison Ivy from Batman, only obsessed with animals instead of plants. PETA is even against people owning animals as pets. I wonder what all of the pet lovers who have donated money to PETA over the years would think of that.
I'm all for protecting animals, but the people who run PETA are extremists, and extremists are ALWAYS bad no matter what there cause is. PETA attacking video games over animals is no different then Jack Thompson attacking video games over violence.
WTF is wrong with PETA these days, fucking idiots.
That being said, I had a sausage, bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast.
