PeTA vs. Furries

[CrossEyed7]

I have to admit, I always get a kick out of PeTA's Mario Flash games. They're pretty fun.

(the picture is a link, by the way)

Was there ever a point when PeTA stood for something besides schlocky, tacky self-promotion?  No?  Okay.

Jesus.

Is there a game where you're a fly and you must avoid Obama's hand?

[Lizard Dude]

Skinned alive? Is that true? Why alive?

Because meat-eaters and fur-wearers are heartless sadists who delight in making small mammals suffer.

Because, you know, eating delicious bacon is EVIL! MWAHAHAHAHA! IT'S FUN! NUMMY! OM NOM NOM NOM OF DOOM! ALL YOUR BACONS ARE BELONG TO EVIL! I USED A GOLD MINE, AN OIL RIG, AND MY OWN COUNTRY TO BUY BACON!
You see how silly that sounded?

...You know I was being sarcastic, right?

It looks like a video surfaced a while back of a Chinese fur factory skinning animals alive because it was supposedly more efficient, but other than that it doesn't appear to be a thing. Live skinning also runs the risk of staining the pelt with blood. I don't think any tanuki actually get skinned alive.

bobbysq1337, did you ignore my link?

...You know I was being sarcastic, right?

Yes, I was just sort of continuing yolur post with my own twist.

bobbysq1337, did you ignore my link?

No, just looked a bit different from what I expected.

I also noticed that some of PETA's games are really messed up.

[PaperLuigi]

...and they're okay with Mario stepping on turtles?

[Kuromatsu]

Apparently the Penguin Slaughtering during the events of New Super Mario Bros. Wii went by unnoticed as well

As did the senseless cruelty against man-sized bumble bees in the Galaxy games.

I like how some of the media (okay, at least Yahoo News) is this as an attention-getter by implying LOLNOES A MARIO GAME IS CONTROVERSHUL. Well, shut up--PETA sucks, and they do this all the time. What a bunch of five-year-olds. Animal cruelty is bad, but we've got to eat something--and Mario's not going to be able to fly and save the princess without a *****in' tanuki tail. Neither goombas nor tanukis even actually exist, so they might as well be complaining about reindeer abuse in time for the holidays.

My apologies if this seems blunt. I've been pretty swamped lately, so my posts (which I really shouldn't be making in the first place, I suppose, but I'm mildly addicted to this place) might be a bit more, uh... off the cuff here and there.

Tanuki would like a word with you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanuki
