PETA Responds to World at War Dog Killing Controversy

[Seydaman]

"With a little Nintendogs influence, perhaps the next Call of Duty game will have you unlock achievements for petting the dogs you encounter and going on walks or playing Frisbee with them," the group said.

"In a post-Michael Vick world, you'd think that Activision Blizzard, which publishes the popular game, would take abusing dogs for entertainment purposes more seriously."

I don't even know if PETA takes themselves seriously.

**walking around corner "OH FUCK ATTACK DOGS!!!" pets the dogs then has throat ripped open**

You know what someone should do? They should send a box of guns to the PETA headquarters. Then, the next day, release 100+ wild, ravenous dogs into their building, then lock all the doors. Which ones to you think would be alive the next day?

okay...whats there address? and where are we gunna get guns? and the dogs

 

[DamienHell]

Killing people, that's fine.
Killing animals, that's wrong.
Shut up PETA.

 

[fenixrising]

There is a great deal of REAL animal cruelty being commited on this planet, yet PETA decide to opt for a publicity stunt, instead of highlighting REAL issues in the REAL world.
Way to go PETA.

 

[Fraeir]

Gotta hand it to PETA, they entertain Activision by ridiculing themselves yet again!

 

[evilives34]

i just have to say, did they even play the game, those dogs kill the player a hell of a lot more then we kill them

And in other news .. PETA has requested two new copyrights for Acronyms ..

PETVA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Virtual Animals)
PETVUA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Virtual Undead Animals)

After requesting these copyrights, it was overheard that they were putting together a litigation team against the Umbrella Corp...

 

[Elurindel]

Ahh, I'm almost tempted to go to the PETA forums and congratulate them on how they're so good at poking fun at themselves.

 

[xxnightlawxx]

i agree with peta to a point
that point is when dogs try and KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!

/facepalm
(Because I'm lost for words)

I wonder what Activision really thought when this first entered the HQ. I would've lol'd and given the entire place the day off.

I want the job of being PETA's official spokesperson. It seems like they get to sit around all day thinking up the most ridiculous things they possibly can.

PETA Spokesperson 1: I hear in Resident Evil 5, there are some worms. Think we can kick up a storm about that?
PETA Spokesperson 2: Hmm... write this down. Perhaps you can train the worms. Maybe teach them knitting or sewing. NO! Try to force Capcom to allow the player to tickle the stomachs of the worms, call them cutesy names and let them ride around on their shoulder.
PETA Spokesperson 1: Ok, sir, I've got it. Shall I put it in the post?
PETA Spokesperson 2: No. Let our messenger walrus take it. [sup]*waves letter at walrus*[/sup] Go on, Sally. Take the letter and fly to Japan. I said fly!

Hahahaha I love this.

With attention drawn to the admittedly minor furor by numerous gaming sites, it was only a matter of time before PETA weighed in on the matter.

We did this internet, without the fuss we kicked up about that girls little petition PETA would never have gotten involved! Nobody cared, except us! And now the ridiculous saga continues.

Hang your heads in shame Escapists.

I do. I truly do.

The thread is 3 pages long now and I'm not gunna read all that, so I'm just gunna say what about Call of Duty 4?? There were attack dogs in that game and you break their freakin necks! Noone cared, though. o_0

PETA will turn the guns on themselves and the dogs will survive by eating the corpses.

lmao. Actually I somehow got PETA to stop bothering me with e-mails. I told them I'd kill an animal every time they sent me an e-mail, and ever since then PETA has sent me exactly 0 e-mails.

Glad you do, as I've now been cursed since I post it with trying to work out just how a walrus could be enabled to fly. I'm going towards mechanical wings or a large catapult.

The school that started this needs to be firebombed to remove the stupid from the world.

 

[smithy1234]

PETA should concern themselves with better things like saving the rain forest or stopping real violence against animals instead of getting mad about something they can't change. The game's already been made PETA, move on.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

People have absolutely no fucking idea what should even be considered controversial in games these days.

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE over killing dogs in games. If you wanna do that then you may as well ban Command & Conquer Red Alert, RA2 and Yuri's Revenge as they too feature attack dogs. TES4 Oblivion features doggies as well and that one dog in Fallout 3 I never reached.

 

[TxMxRonin]

It's amazing how political correctness just trumps common fucking sense in today's world.
