PETA Dumps on Battlefield 3

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Now I do think you're overreacting to this people.

Personally I'm glad of the change, since normally it would be the Moral Right calling for it to be banned on account of all the people murdering. Being told I shouldn't slaughter animals is a refreshing change.

I for one embrace our new animal-loving overlords

 

[GartarkMusik]

Wow, gotta love how they get worked up over killing rats in BF3 yet they didn't say anything against being able to kill and skin nearly every animal you saw in RDR. Not that I didn't like it, I thought the hunting part was fun, but this is kinda dumb.

 

[Evilsanta]

And the countless of other animal and ratkills from other games doesn't bother because?

An other case of PETA being PETA...

If I would lump together all the animals and people I killed in games I would have killed the Earth about a 1000 times...

 

[Sylveria]

I'm going eat an extra burger today just because of this article. PETA you've caused the death of an extra animal for being tools.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Well this is just attention seeking

 

[Eggsnham]

Not a fan of BF3 to be honest but peta can go jump off a cliff There no better than terrorists in my book

Terrorism's not terrorism unless you lose the war.

Consequently, PETA has lost the war about a dozen times over and refuses to accept the fact.

I seriously hope PETA just crumbles one day.

On a side note, does anybody else get the feeling that PETA is just a bunch of trolls?

 

[ckam]

So, not Cabela yet, huh? OK, then.

 

[Reincarnatedwolfgod]

[FamoFunk]

PETA are dumb. Really, a Rat that isn't even real?

 

[vortexgods]

Leslie: Here's the thing, Evelyn: We're not sure that the possum we caught is, in fact, Fairway Frank.
Evelyn: Leslie, whoever it is, it's a possum. And the sooner it's dead, the sooner the mayor can do what he wants with it.
Leslie: ...Does he want to have sex with a dead possum?
Evelyn: No!
Leslie: No.
Evelyn: He's not a monster! He wants to stuff it and hang it above the urinal in his office bathroom so that little flecks of pee can get on it forever.
Leslie: Ew.

I can see where they're coming from.

havent played battlefield, but if you dont get anything from killing the rats (whether it be exp or removing a threat) it does seem unnecessary.

Now if you get something from committing the act, then yes, PETA is being ridiculous.

 

[brenz]

Holy fuck PETA are a bunch of wankers.
Im all for treating animals properly, but these clowns just take it to a fantatical level.

 

[DTWolfwood]

wait how much more humane could you have been for a rat that attacks you than to stab it dead in the head in one swift motion?

Seriously how can one kill a pestilence more humanely?

well if you miss the quick time event, your struggles with the rat makes too much noise and reveals you to the enemy whom you are trying to sneak away from. Needless to say you get shot dead, and with your dying breath you give said rat "the finger" XD

 

[VoidWanderer]

... Animal cruelty...?

I would assume that the blade of the knife is of at least equal size or larger than the rat you stab, which probably died instantly.

Is that animal cruelty, ending it's life with a single blow so it doesn't suffer? If they set it on fire and laughed as it ran around and you could hear its agonizing squeals, then we can talk Animal Cruelty.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Okay, kill a million people in a game, no harm done, but stab a rat and your going too far?
Did I miss something?

 

[Beliyal]

What, really? I don't even.

I never liked PETA, because they're quite ridiculous and extreme, but it seems to me like they're really running out of things to do, so now they complain about virtual rats. Yeah, I get it, "video games make us violent" and "people get inspiration from video game violence". Bullshit. I've killed so many virtual animals in various games (I'm the only person in my Minecraft playing group that actively goes on a cow/sheep/pig killing rampages, and I even made an "animal trap" where all of them kept falling inside a hole and couldn't get out. It was hilarious, there were like 20 cows and 30 chickens in it) that PETA would probably lock me up somewhere and pray for the salvation of my soul. However, that's video games. In real life, I'm a vegetarian and I don't even kill bugs, let alone something else. I can shoot a tiger in the face in Tomb Raider, but I jumped in front of a running car to save a kitten from being hit by it. Hell, I kill people in video games. Would I kill someone in real life? No.

People are capable of distinguishing reality from video games. And if they're not, it was not the video games that caused it, there were problems prior to that.
