They're right guys! We cant go around stabbing 10101010100010001 Rats, its just wrong and will give kids (Who shouldnt be playing this game btw) Bad ideas! They should block the single player. Let them go on multiplayer, shoot some people!
See? Sounds fucking stupid, doesnt it?
Thats like me going crazy at Rapelay because the woman has a (Forced) threesome which means she's cheating on her lover!
Yeah maybe PETA can do something useful with their time...nah that wont happen.
Honestly, I found casting aside the rat like trash a bit much. I mean, I would have given the guy a military burial with full honors for having the balls to attack a creature 100 times as big as he is with only his teeth. It was like trying to take on a dragon with only your fists, you may die in the attempt, but no one can doubt your bravery.
Well while I find what they are saying to be ridiculous they wouldn't be a very good animal activist socity if they didn't up and say they were against such thing.
The thing that confuses me the most though is why aren't they attacking a game like Big Buck hunter that promotes hunting?
I want to tell all animal lovers to NEVER donate money to PETA. A lot of money donated to them, is wasted on really stupid stuff like this, instead of you know, going towards actually saving animals that can be saved.
i can understand the parts with the dogs, since im a dog lover on top of it, but rats. give me a break. are they telling restaurants not to kill rats if they have some in the cellar???
reminds me so much of this episode of south park

Sometimes some organizations don't have anything important to do. There are actual real world problems to take care, so they should go after them instead of worrying about a virtual rat.
Rats may be my favorite animal, and I may find rat traps and poisons extremely unethical because of the needless suffering they create (not only to rats but to other animals like dogs in many cases), but seriously PETA, grow up. Why don't they throw a *****-fit about all the needless human stabbing in those games?
Oh, yeah, that's right. PETA doesn't care about people.
I'm now off to grind XP in Oblivion by shooting giant rats with magic.
This has me thinking about the episode on How I met Your Mother where Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Marshall (Jason Segal) are in a prank war late at night with some guy in another company. A female employee walks in as they are putting rats in a box to send over and she says "You're going to put holes in that, right?"
..."Yeah, we were just getting to that..."
("Were you going to put holes in the box?!?")
("No! Were you?!?")
Not saying that it would be funny if a box of rats showed up at PETA's HQ or anything, but you never know. If it should ever happen, I would encourage the rats be properly angered and of the rabies variety.
As for this Battlefield: Ratgate they're drumming on about, don't they have something important to worry about? Heaven forbid we show animals getting digitally killed in a game where the primary focus is decimating ranks of human beings. Hypothetically, if the rats were attacking the player should the advisable choice be to wait until it claws your eyes out?
And just from a realistic perspective, good luck to anyone who gets the idea to try and stab rats in the back after playing BF3. They're not just sitting around waiting to get knifed, y'know.

Frankly I don't care.
As long as they stop putting up porn sites. *Shudder*
Clearly they're insane. Why can't they... why can't they just stop already? This is what happens when there isn't enough Darwinism active. That's it. We need a new apex predator that is huggable in appearance, but vicious to those who try to defend its right to violate humans with razor sharp claws.

I apologize for not reading everyone's response, so if this has already been posted my bad.
Do they want the player in-game to give a little ceremonial rite and a proper burial to every "slaughtered victim" rat? Then again, if the game had you properly euthanizing them by stabbing them with a syringe instead of a knife, they'd be totes okay with that and move right along.
