PETA going after Mario

I guess PETA doesn't give a shit about the poor penguins (NSMB) and frogs (SMB3) that are skinned and stretched for Mario's use...
 
And since when is it ok to ride an endangered species that looks like a dinosaur around into incredibly dangerous areas? Then the creature gets spooked and starts running away and yet I often find that Mario runs back and grabs him and forces him to continue. Perhaps worse still, this dinosaur who is probably a vegetarian (since he rewards Mario when mario lets him eat apples), is being forced to eat turtles and other creatures.

Ah, the classic donkey punch.

Can anybody pinpoint the exact moment when PETA just got silly, or have they always been like that? I'm leaning towards the second one.

Probably in the early 90's when they said dogs are just humans with fur.

I love dogs, but give me a break.

The founder, Ingrid Newkirk, is a psychopath that seems to believe animals should be allowed to vote. They've always been insane. They also support animal terrorist groups like ALF.
 
I always thought them pretty ridiculous, but they sealed it by protesting when the first-season Survivor people trapped and ate the rats.

I saw Penn & Teller's piece on her. She's definitely mentally unstable. What's scary is she's created a religion around PETA. However, it's the media that keeps them going though. Otherwise they'd just fade away.

I hope Nintendo takes them to court and cleans them out over this.

This got me thinking though. If Tanooki suits are skinned raccoons... what are the mushrooms made from? D:

why not go after him for stomping on turtles? or is that acceptable?

lol. that's exactly what I thought this was about.

I intended to post:


Well it's about time, that damn greaseball and his pizza-tossing brother have been stomping on turtles, unabated, bur the last 2 decades now.
 
considering PETA is wrong in the first place - tanooki and racoon are two different suits - i will continue to ignore them.

also, lolPETA.
