PETA Gives Award to "Animal-Friendly" Adult Swim

[Rednog]

So...why call the award a proggy? Progress is an 8 letter word and you cut it down to proggy for short? It's a two freaking letter difference. And I mean common what sounds better "I won a Progress Award!" or "I won a Proggy". People would definitely stare at you and go wtf is a proggy?

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Yeah I can totally see why adult swim gets awards from PETA.

 

[ZacktheWolf]

*wonders if PETA has ever seen an episode of Robot Chicken*

 

[SimuLord]

Did PeTA complain at the end of Old Yeller? Or, for that matter, when the animal liberators caused the problems in 28 Days Later?

 

[ShadowsofHope]

The reason these games are getting awards is because they stand out (even if its only in a small part of gameplay) because most games are so orientated on killing animals in vicious ways.

..Since when, now? The worst I've ever done to an animal in a game is Fable, and I'm punting a chicken a few yards. Hardly "vicious".

 

[Jezzy54]

Well, baby seal hunters kinda deserve it.

Um, no? Seal hunters need money, and the seal hunt brings in a ton of money.

Are you seriously basing an ethical decision on how CUTE something is?!

Are all Eskimos evil for eating seal?

Calves have bigger, wetter eyes than baby seals. Therefore, you must be evil for eating beef.

The list goes on.

Well, accent on "kinda". I'm not really saying they should die, but I do hate professional fur hunters. I can justify killing an animal to eat it, that's just part of nature. However, I take exception with killing baby animals if you can survive without doing so, and the fur industry as it is should not exist. The human race has, for the most part, gotten to the point where we don't need to take other animal's skin to survive, and so killing anything for fur in a first-world country like Canada is a selfish waste of animal life, and killing baby animals for that objective is doubly reprehensible. If someone kills growing animals for a living and to acquire a resource no buyer really needs, they are a terrible person and should GET ANOTHER JOB.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

PETA really don't get games do they? Must be that lack of meat in their diet.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

just thought id stick up for PETA and let you direct your frastration at a real PETA member rather then empty cyberspace
find it wierd your all just assuring each other, rather then actually debating.
Anyway, PETA do not put animals before humans they put them equal to humans. The reason these games are getting awards is because they stand out (even if its only in a small part of gameplay) because most games are so orientated on killing animals in vicious ways.

Defend your killing of 20,000 pets, I dare you. [http://www.petakillsanimals.com/downloads/PetaKillsAnimals.pdf]

Defend how your chairman uses pork-based insulin to keep him alive while condemning its use.

Defend your last statement.

 

[Karilas]

I can't get my head around Lefter's last remark, either, since when were "most games are so orientated on killing animals in vicious ways" anyway?

Sure a few games give you the opportunity, but the vast majority of games have you perpetrating violence on other people, usually "Evil" people like Nazis or Alien Overlords.

Still, nothing like a ridiculous generalisation to put a bat-shit mental organisation's views across, eh?

 

[Lefter]

what your all forgetting is (though this may be a dark area and i must admit i am a little confused by it) PETA stands for good. They stand for opposing pointless animal slaughter eg banning the vicious act of bull fighting which we can all agree is a ridiculous public murder, banning the use of bear hides fo hats for the queens foot guard as well etc
Not all PETA members want everyone to be vegan, we would like it but we know its impossible.
we just want animals to live happily before they die and to be killed humaely, so basically no to Foie Gras and battery farming.
Also before you condemn us visit our site and read what we truelly stand for;

just because its stands for "good" doesn't mean we wont make fun of something. Nothing is sacred on the internet. Especially when a joke goes this far over someones head.

also good is very subjective. Some would consider putting spikes in trees good thing as it stops those evil loggers.

I've always found it a little dishonest to say "not all members think that way" and still associate with a group whose leadership wants everyone to be vegan, provides vocal support for people who break laws to accomplish tasks, and preach an all or nothing view.

That being said, I say they just let Seth Green accept the award on their behalf. I suspect that we'd see the GaGa dress again.

 

[Mr. Socky]

It's kind of strange that PETA gave a website that was making fun of them an award, to say the least.

Three things:
1. They're animals. Baby animals are no better than the adult animal, the only major difference is that they're cuter. Killing a baby seal is exactly the same as killing an adult seal, unless cuteness is a factor for you.
2. No buyer needs them, but buyers will pay a LOT for them. Sorry, but we're in debt. We need cash. We'll take money where we can get it.
3. You find them a job. I dare you. (You clearly don't know the economic climate of the North West Territories and Nunavut...)

 

[real life potato]

Fable 2?.. The game where you can torment chickens for fun and achievements?

Yup'

OT: PETA really isn't that smart is are they DUUR DUUUR.

Well obviously. I mean, let's think about it. These are people that hold firm the idea that the only way to get peoples' short attention spans is to either A. Reprimand them soundly for eating animals of or B. Undress a woman in front of them spewing their ridiculous party platform. They were never relevant. They will never BE relevant. They are a thorn in the side of humans everywhere and all they accomplish is to look stupid and to attempt to increase the cow population in hopes of someday being ruled by cows.

I'm curious isn't leather seats in cars, fancy chairs, shoes, and other nice things made from animal hides from tanning? Also you seem to be one of those stary eyed morons who think just because it's cute it shouldn't be hurt. Also people who hunt fur in areas where jobs aren't really easy to get don't really have a choice. You say get another job, and that sounds kinda snob-ish. I mean that's like me telling someone who can't afford college to go to college and get a job and not be a filthy janitor.

Also I have a question for you, you do know hunting helps the environment when over crowding happens right. Ever hear deer run out of food and roam around peoples yards looking for food in trash. That's why hunting licenses have a cap on how much you can and can't hunt, so they can keep from people killing to much. But nope hunting for sport or for money is evil and wrong because we are in a first-world country and we don't have blue collar jobs that require hunting to make a decent living. I want you to tell someone who has to hunt seal to find a better job to their face or better yet help them find one.

1. It's not because the baby seals are cute, it's that they're killed when they're the equivalent age of a child. At least let them see adulthood. Yeah, the fur's not the same then, but I really don't care.
2. It's not like seal clubbing only happens during a recession. What about when the economy was just fine? That excuse only applies to times like these, when I'll admit it's a legitimate reason, but I'm betting that most seal clubbers who need their job to survive right now were already seal clubbers when jobs were easier to find.
3. Oh, crap, you dare me? Hell, now I've gotta go to the other side of the world and single-handedly destroy the seal fur industry because someone on the internet dared me. No. Somehow, I doubt most will change jobs even when the recession ends.

Well, I addressed some that a minute ago, so read that first. As for leather, it's usually from cattle, which are already killed for food. It's just making the most of the animal parts, which is actually less wasteful than just eating the meat, which is already justifiable. Second, janitors aren't worth comparing because they do an honest job which is quite necessary in public buildings. Third, you show me proof that Canada is overpopulated with seals, and even then I'll still object to killing the baby ones because it cuts their life far too short. Finally, yes, I'd be very happy to tell a seal clubber to get a real job.

I mention the janitor thing because they don't always have a choice to pick any job they want, they could be just doing what they can to get by same with the seal clubber. And I don't have proof is seal over population cause I honestly don't care about seals being clubbed when other humans suffer from problems do to the hands from a fellow man. And what does it matter, it's a wild animal you won't befriend. Why put it on such a high pedistol, to be honest you sound like the prissy white girls in my writing class who freaked the hell out when a guy who worked at his family turkey farmed mentioned he had to kill baby chicks because they were sick and were going to die and get other chicks sick, but they didn't care because he killed a baby chick. And I wanna see a video of you telling a seal clubber to get a "real job".

2.Then instead of whining about it on a internet forum HELP THEM FIND A BETTER JOB. You sound like someone who instead of whining should be helping since you know everything.
3.Well you keep saying they don't have "real jobs" so help them. So for you sound like someone on a ivory tower talking down on people
