PETA are trolling.

Do not feed the trolls.

That is all.
Damn. You beat me to it.
People, just ignore PETA. Easy as that.
I want their organization to crash and burn
Ignoring it has not proven effective so far.
In the activism market, attention = money.
Ignore them and they'll go away.

Yeah people keep saying this on the comments section. What the flying fuck?! How could they possibly find that a good idea? Like.. even within their warped mind-frame-work?

Well to be fair, there already been a controversial that Pokemon encourage animal fights and what not but does these PETA parodies are actually effective? I mean do they really widen someone eyes and change they attitude toward Pokemon altogether?

It's enough to make you wonder what they'll go after next:

Samus Aaron's genicidal exterination of the Metorid species
Animal Testing to make the T-virus in Resident Evil
The animal poaching that's the core of most RPGs
Any meat as powerups / health restorers
All the sacrificial Prinnies in Disgaea
Epona's slavery at the hands of Link

Can't PETA stick with using naked women to get attention?

If you all really cared about animal rights you would all be vegans and would support PETA, if you can honestly say that you value the flavour of meat above the suffering of animals, then I will not only respect you, but also call you an abhorant human being.
Do not confuse veganism with P.E.T.A. They are no friend of yours, if you care for the wellbeing of animals.

...That's not a proper Pokemon card. It's a Trainer card, but it has HP, which means it's a Pokemon.

Tedious fights would be a hell of a lot more amusing if you could just use Roar on a trainer and get them to piss off.

I wonder just how bored PETA really is to come up with all these parodies. Especially ones that attack DIGITAL treatment of animals.
Not even animals... their name literally is pocket monsters... what!? We arn't allowed to make monsters fight in a world where single parents send 10 year olds off to never return?
Wow, I didn't even think of that! Doubtful that PETA did any sort of research to find out the actual name is "Pocket Monsters".

I think I'd rather have Pokemon fight to the death than give them to PETA.

They would just kill em softly is all, at least with me they get a few pokeblocks after a match and I heal em up at a magical tissue regenerating pokecenter.

PETA would just round em up and gas em all. After all PETA is not for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It is for the Non Usage of Any Animals and the Destruction of Domesticated Species.

I guess PNUAADDS didn't sound as catchy.

Also I don't think PETA knows what REALLY goes on inside a pokeball.

...But Peta was the whole plot point of Pokemon Black & white!? This is old news!

Freaking N is responsible for this.

Not only does PETA know that, but they deliberately draw attention to it in the game itself and point out that the founder of Team Plasma is an evil hypocrite.

Specifically, what amino acids are you referring to? I'm not a vegan or knowledgeable about nutrition and my wife's not around to confirm/debunk/clarify your claim for me.
If we're talking on a scale of hundreds/thousands of years with "recently" then the same is true for protein and fat; our ancestors didn't have supermarkets, planes and trains and boats capable of transporting food thousands of miles across countries and oceans. Given that our brains require sugar to function, however, it's a safe bet that we've been eating carbohydrates pretty consistently throughout time (although it's also likely that, historically, we had a much more varied diet than the standard American diet).
Regarding fats--if you change "need" to "can use", then you're correct. As it is, you're mistaken: http://www.fi.edu/learn/brain/fats.html#fattyacids (if you don't feel like following the link: you can get essential fatty acids through vegetables, nuts, and various plants/plant oils.)
I hope I quoted this right. Without getting into the biochemical details. it's not amino acids, all 20 of those are in everything you eat that has "protein." Its specific fats and proteins. A large grouping of trans fats, (fight cancer) omega fats (coat the mylin layers of your nerve cells for faster impulses AKA you think faster) and a whole list of specific fats, proteins, and fat-sugar protein-sugar derivatives that are part of your everyday cell metabolic functions that only are found in good ole meat. Now of course a full grown adult can create a complex diet of beans, fruits, vege's and other supplements to create the molecules found here. But my main issue is allowing children who need these proteins, fats, etc and are too immature to deal with the complexities of a vegan diet for growing bodies. The older you are when you make the decision to stop eating meat the better off you are. And of course with all things in life gluttony creates poor health.

I want everybody on the Escapist who cares about PETA to make a rousing shout. Ready? Go!

I like animals but I also like Pokemon. Is that so wrong?

That sounds really funny. Its a parody done to death, but different versions are still pretty fun.

But isn't PETA more about euthanizing pets than 'freeing them?' (Penn and Teller's Bullshit)

Ah PETA, the black sheep of the Humane Society/SPCA family. We don't invite him to family reunions.

When I was 8 years old and I got my first gameboy color, and played the my first copy of pokemon blue, I cried when my first pokemon got poisoned and every step I took brought it one step closer to death. Fawk you PETA. Pokemon trainers care.

Yeah peta I hate to say this to you but pokemon while certainly popular is not nearly as popular as it once was theres also the fact that everybody in the world and probably at least 9 alien worlds has made the dog fighting comparison.

The real problem I have with this is that the world of pokemon is some kind of bizarre paradise where 10 year olds can travel around the world collecting god like creatures where kids don?t use their pokemon to kill their bullies by burning them alive where guns where never invented and the worst mooks of the big bad do is steal pokemon.

This is probably why I find the pokedex so interesting a lot of the entry?s are about pokemon killing other pokemon even humans gyarados apparently destroys entire cities in its rage woulden that be awesome if it happened in the game?

I find this so interesting because its exactly the kind of stuff you would expect in a world filled with animals that are that power full and even without that element I still find it interesting to read the pokedex entries just to see how the world works.

I do like pokemon but I think it pales in comparisons to shin megami tensei which did the idea of collecting and fighting with monsters both earlier and better.

I always like to think the world of pokemon takes place after shin megami tensei 2 or devil survivor 2 law ending but anyway enough off topic ranting.

Sigh nothing to see here. More BS from that vile group of hypocritical money monger of PETA. I honestly would love to sit in on one of there board meetings and see the thought process that goes into their plans.
