When on a mission to rescue the princess, Mario has been
known to use any means necessary to defeat his enemy—even
wearing the skin of a raccoon dog to give him special powers.

Tanooki may be just a "suit" in Mario games, but in real life,
tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By
wearing Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it's OK to
wear fur. Play Super Tanooki Skin 2D and help Tanooki reclaim
his fur!

I like how they were never outraged about it in fucking 1988 when SMB3 came out, but now that a new game is coming out they can get free publicity.

PETA, while some of their ideals are understandable, is fucking pathetic.

People have been wearing animal skins for tens of thousands of years, I see no reason to stop now?

I am wearing a leather belt, so I stand by what I say.
 
lol going after smb3? really? how about going after skyrim where you kill rare endangered dragons! and think of all the poor deer, bunnies etc you kill for leather.

heh i remember buying super mario 3 when it came out. i worked my ass off all summer doing odd jobs and saved some of my allowance for it.

The tanooki suit is in the new 3DS Mario game I believe.
 
This has inspired me to try to get a Tanuki for import. And if I can't get a Tanuki maybe I'll get a Coatimundi instead. Good job PETA.
 
Yes, Mario is the reason why I wear fur to this day. I was just a young impressionable lad when I picked up my first game controller. I've tried to model my entire life after him.
 
In other news, Greenpeace starts a campaign against Apogee Software for "glorifying nuclear weapons and waste" in their Duke Nukem platform game.
 
I'm with PETA and I hope they take down that stupid plumber! I've been hearing about him for like 20 years, enough is enough.
 
Shouldn't they be more concerned with the fact that Mario is an adult male role model who regularly consumes strange mushrooms he finds in shiny metal boxes, put there by persons unknown, which then cause extremely abnormal growth?
