Calm down guys... it's a serious problem and Peta seeks the help of video game popularity to draw attention to it. I don't have any problem with that, I think it's a very good idea by Peta.

There's absolutely no reason to react like a 15-year old fanboy. Noboday shat on your cake, they are nowhere stating that you should avoid buying Mario-games. Everything on that page is related to real fur and real animal cruelty.

Yet ignore the fact PETA kills more animals than they save. Most of the Videos they show as an "Expose" are infact PETA members doing the deed.

But that's another topic all together.

[CrAzY]

PETA is pointless. It seems they care more about animals than people, yet they spend bags of cash advertising to Humans how we are scum. Shouldn't more of that money go towards... well.. you know... The animals?

PETA should be making statements about all the animals that they saved, or updates on their expanding animal sanctuary. Not to take a break to bash on things like Cooking Mama because she is a culinary master who happens to prepare meat, or Mario because he is wearing a fucking suit. Who gives a shit?

I never even connected that Tanooki suit with Fur wearing at all, and it never would have entered my brain hadn't this been posted, but now I feel like owning some fur products so I can be more like that beloved plumber! =]

[spoonman]

Those poor Tanookies, Koopas, and let us not forget about illegal Chain Chomp fights!
Damn you Nintendo! Damn you to hell!!

I have no problem with them fighting people and places that show cruelty to animals, but this is ridiculous! They did the same thing with Cooking Mamma a few years ago.

[Jamtex]

The fact that people are talking about it and that various website and probably newspaper coloumns ar being taken up by this story does show that PETA have succeeded in promoting their message, regardless of how insane it is. If they did not cause controversy do you really think that outside a few gaming sites anyone whould have picked up on this?

As for the GoH lack of brain statement that PETA kills animals, are you living in some kind of fairy world where the trees are made of chocolate, the sun is smiling and shining everyday and money just comes from a hole in the ground?

For a start if you bothered to look at their "Evidence" you will notice they used total number of animals including number returned to their owners. Also there is nothing to show what age or condition the animals were in, if the animals were wild or feral, etc. a few of pages show they euthanised 100% of poultry brought to them, where you can see that most were run over, in a bad way, etc. PETAs number are the same as most of the other Humane organisations that do publish their numbers as a lot of smaller ones do not.

7 out of 10 cats are put to sleep because a large number of them are feral cats which have zero percent chance of ever being house cats.

Most organisations do not want to put animals to sleep but some will never be adopted due to age or illness, a number will be wild or dangerous and some will be such a bad way that they would have to be put down.

It would be nice house them until adoption or until they die, but most have space and financial issues which mean that reality means they have to do what is best for the number of animals they get.

Even the no-kill shelters will generally refuse older pets or ones that may require medical attention and even if they do take them in they may end up giving it to another place to be put down so they can claim a no kill policy...

Try ringing up a couple of shelters around you, say you have to move abroad and then first say you have a couple of 12 year old dogs and then ring later saying you have some golden retriever puppies and see which are likely to say yes, chances are that the 12 year olds will not find homes, but the puppies which are much easier to find homes for will probably be excepted by every shelter you ring...

[7Force]

I think PETA is retarded, not because I'm one of those "HERP DERP FOR EVERY ANIMAL YOU EAT I'M GONNA EAT THREE VEGETARIANISM IS FOR PUSSIES" idiots, but because they're actually hurting their own cause with this kind of ridiculous bullshit. Nobody's gonna take vegetarianism/veganism seriously if it's associated with these attention-whoring fuckheaps screeching about whatever.

[pool7]

Am I the only one that remembers Mario wearing a frog suit as well as a raccoon suit many years ago?
I'm not really familiar with PETA, but I somehow doubt they did anything at that time... but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[Mystical]

Amazing how they dont have a problem with Super Mario 3 as you can wear the same suits etc that they are moaning about, basically PETA is looking for some free exposure...quite sad this is what the resort too, someone has told these people that Mario is a game havent they?

[ave]

Again, I believe it's just a marketing trick and a clever one at that. Mario's quite popular these days with the Wii and upcoming software, so it's not the worst thing to use that popularity to draw attention on more serious problems. Of course it'd ridiculous to blame Mario of advertising the fur-market, but I definitely don't feel like they want me to believe that.


Yet ignore the fact PETA kills more animals than they save. Most of the Videos they show as an "Expose" are infact PETA members doing the deed.Sometimes you'd be so much better off if you kept your mouth shut about things you don't know anything about instead of stating wild controversial assertions as facts all the time. It's misleading within the discussion and does not benefit your reputation and credibility at all.

[GodofHardcore]

It's not my fault I speak the truth. It's your fault for writing off everything I say

[GodofHardcore]

Incoherent horse shit.

Funny, both my cats are/were ferals.

I don't see a problem with what Mario wears. but then again I won't buy shampoo unless it's been sluiced in some rabbits eyes.

I'm all for peta (people eating tasty animals) second this just screams shit heads with no life. Peta is also breaking copyright laws by making that game. Third people from peta are crazy and should be locked away in an asylum. I am all for saving wildlife for futures to enjoy but peta takes it way to far. SORRY PETA NOT EVERYONE LIKES TOFU AND PUSHING YOUR BELIEFS ON OTHERS IS VERY IGNORANT SO SIT BACK, CALM YOU TITS AND ENJOY FOR IT WILL BE A LONG RIDE.

Yeah we've had cats that have been stray/feral. They are clearly more wild (they had to have a hardwearing scratching post) but they are housetrainable. We've kept tame white rats as pets too.

I have to be honest. Some of those links are look completely biased and probably don't bother stating if the animals have terminal diseases. I think it's better to euthanize an animal if they get a terminal disease as it's quite horrible both for you and the animal. My friend's dog has gone blind due to a disease and it's very upsetting.

Instead, the group spends huge sums on programs equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting children into the radical animal-rights lifestyle, and intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods. PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists.

Seems legit.

[Solotaire]

Seems legit.

While it is worded in an extreme fashion (the same way PETA prefers to sow their propaganda) the actions in that paragraph have all happened/are all true, even if it is picking the most polarizing fashion of portraying said information

PETA considering omnivores as Nazis:

PETA intimidating business people (though there are more like this):

PETA (as well as the ALF) supporting arsonists:

Just because someone aggregates all the data doesn't mean that they are less likely to be legit.

And? They may suck, but all of the arguments above are sound. Even the most hardcore of meat eaters must agree that what lands on their plate is the product of shameless exploitation of living beings.

Uhmm go on , go on. Now cut the crap and tell me how you really feel. :lol:
Are we all not here for someone or anothers amusement.



"Happiness, then, is not found in amusement; for it would be absurd if the end were amusement, and our lifelong efforts and sufferings aimed at amusing ourselves. For we choose practically everything for some other end - except for happiness, since it is the end; but serious work and toil aimed only at amusement appears stupid and excessively childish. Rather, it seems correct to amuse ourselves so that we can do something serious...the happy life seems to be a life in accord with virtue, which is a life involving serious actions, and not consisting in amusement"~Aristotle

Ok that really had nothing to do with anything. Opah welpah.

How do you think people who are vegetarian/ lactose intolerant live? Injections.

It's not ideal, and I'd never be vegetarian (like meat/dairy too much) nor support PETA (because a fair amount of the supporters are batshit).

If PETA stopped going after pointless targets and instead actually went after animal abusers they'd find alot more support.

There's vegan yogurt too...

[Christer-swe]

Are they against eating animals I've shot myself? Or just industry-slaughtered animals?

Yah, I agree animal Abuse is horrible But peta blows the stuff far out of proportion which makes anyone associated with them look like giant douche . Peta can take it to far which raps them in controversy. To describe peta in a simile Its like using a stick of dynamite to dig a hole for a single rose.

[Solotaire]

So there is! With coconut milk, you say? Interesting. Kinda tasty looking, though, I like real yogurt. Must track me some of this down.

The path to hell is paved with good intentions

I dont mind vegans, but peta they are in the same retarded category of religious fanatics and extremists

For these sociopaths theres nothing better than having a cause: take a look at history, did any group of evil fucks who caused wars and genocide said "we are evil and we are going to destroy the world"?

Shit no! they always use some phony "cause" so that the end justifies the means.

Capitalism is evil! which is why we can send anyone who we think may be capitalist to die at a labor camp.

WWI was unfair! it was a plot by communists and jews! we have the right to kill them!

God told me to kill them so I'm right, I'm a hero!

How many times have we heard this shit?

Yes please. want pics?

[Evotistical]

Fancy some grilled dog then?
Had some in a Korean restaurant in Thailand. It tastes like beef, but smoother. An animal is an animal, we co-habitate with cats dogs and some birds because they are social creatures. But only because we have an emotional connection with these species is why we can't eat them. Well if I have no emotional connection with an individual animal, helps them to slide down my throat after cooking. Pigs are one of the smartest mammals, and social creatures(not to mention very clean animals when outside the barnyard). Yet we eat them on a daily basis. It's because bacon tastes great!:nod:

[alecjahn]

I just wish people would spay/neuter their fucking pets.

I also think that PETA is really silly, but then again I also generally just hate any extremism.

[Hawanja]

Really, if there's on thing on this Earth I really am not concerned about, it's Peta. They seem to be almost universally hated, so I really dobut they'll ever get any of their agenda passed into any kind of serious law. I see these people more as performance artists, than activists. Like "Hey look at the wild and crazy thing Peta did this week!" Plus they occasionally get hot celebrity women to pose nude.
