Hahahaaaa

You guys.

Ha! I laughed my ass off at this! Do PETA really think people are gonna take this seriously?
Hmm... I'm definitely thinking to join Star Boy's version of PETA
Anyone in law school here? What are the chances that PETA could be sued for this? God knows Nintendo's pissed about the Classic Controller being taken from them, so I'm sure they're all full of pent up lawsuit rage. How much could the big N make from this?

Not much. PETA spends all of their money making bad internet games that no one will take seriously, rather than actually doing something productive to help the animals that they apparently love so much.

Long story short, PETA's a bunch of broke dumbasses.

I actually got hungry for turkey while playing. Peta needs to go die.

I think the very best thing for PETA can do for this world is do commit suicide, cult style. They actually do more harm than do in my eyes.

Also, is it me or does it look like Mama's PMSing?

I can't believe I actually played through the whole thing.

The game is only for generating publicity, which it does very well. When was the last time that video game websites covered animal welfare? People play the game, and as they do, they have a chance to read up on how these birds are treated.

PETA live on publicity, but there is generally a good message behind the stunts. PETA have done a tremendous amount to combat fur trading - especially in the fashion industry.

PetaKillsAnimals is a horrible website. PETA does euthanise a lot of animals, however most of these animals extremely ill or injured, and looked after by people who cannot afford veterinarian care. The animal shelters that PETA supports in euthanasia are those that have the worst track record for putting animals down in the most awful ways. PETA euthanises these animals in the most humane way - at no cost to anybody but themselves - to make sure that they are not shot by a rifle or suffocated in a box. It is an unfortunate fact that all shelters cannot be no-kill. It's just not feasible.

PETA does not operate any animal shelters by themselves. The animals that they receive are not intended to be adopted. PETA works alongside third party animal shelters that do help to find new homes for animals.

The numbers reported on the site are spun and twisted beyond any recognition. The website is run by the Center of Consumer Freedom which represents restaurants and food companies who are rigidly opposed to animal welfare reform. This is the same group who claim that obesity is not an issue that we should be concerned about.

And who are these people to even try and set up a website like that? Food and pet industries that have been allowed to run rampant have caused so many of the problems that PETA try to solve, and yet they have the nerve to criticise PETA's tactics?

There are plenty of reasons to criticise PETA - their continual promotion of Pamela Anderson being one of many - but in no universe is petakillsanimals is not a credible source.

Ah, this is very good. I take back what I said. I guess in the long run, the game they made actually will help.

You'd have to have a pretty morbid sense of humor to make a game this positively disgusting.

My understanding, though I confess to not having any sources, is that PETA does indeed run (or, at the very least, endorse) animal shelters that claim to not euthanaze animals. The trouble is that they then do so. :/.


Now, that's not to slam on the good work PETA has done, but I get the impression (not the least from their own press releases) that they're largely insane and hypocritical. :/.

One time, at my mall, PETA sent out coloring books to children when the circus was being promoted there. And the pictures were violent images of killing animals at the circus. This I admire.

Good times.

Ah PETA, your so cute when you are angry. I am for the ethical treatment of animals. But I have to eat too. If you take in consideration, anything you eat came from something that was alive. So munch down on the corn cob knowing that you are killing innocent little corn plants.

Me, I'm going to be the crew baster that eats pork, and don't give me that crap that the pig was kept in a small cage its whole life, it wasn't. How do I know, because I had to feed that thing for 11 months, keep it form escaping, and get it in the truck to take it to the butchers.

I fed the pig, now the pig is feeding me.

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life. This is necessary.

I know you were. I was just being obvious in a sort of grotesque way. (And it's lyrics from a song.)

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life. This is necessary.

Keep in mind that the pig did more than just feed you.

Ingrid Newkirk has spoken candidly about her early career working in animal rescue shelters, where she would go to work early and euthanise animals herself. PETA are not against euthanasia, and are actually against no-kill policies in animal shelters.

PETA on euthanasia.

Also, in response to the comment about breast milk being used in Ben and Jerry's ice cream - it was a joke. One that the makers of the ice cream took very well, just as Majesco's response to the Mama Kills Animals game has been nothing but good-natured.

It isn't very feasible at all, but it was great fun to suggest it to Ben & Jerry's, who also knew it was a joke. What was serious was that television stations listened to our reasons why making anything out of cow's milk is unkind. Calves are taken away from their mothers and used for veal. We drink the milk meant for those little calves.

10 Questions for Ingrid Newkirk - TIME

Since when do eggs have feathers and blood?

But the game went down hill after Mama loved animals. But the rest of the game was enjoyable. Would have been better with better controls though.

Now I wish I had turkey... im hungry!

Ah, my mistake then.

Indeed, it clearly was a joke, but PETA has done/encouraged some rather less amusing stuff.

I laughed my ass off so super hard when I played this game. I think it's fun, does that make me evil? Of course, the game is an utter exaggeration, as almost everything PETA talks about.

I think those were chicks.

Tofu?! Give me a break. I actually did pretty good at that part though.
