this is great. and by great i mean hilariously bad because it's PETA.

still has nothing on the Cooking Mama parody they did. now that one was golden.

iafszhrdixhfrdhxfkdhfskdf i hate these kind of games

like i saw the images at the front of the page and I was cringing because I have some weird fear over gross-out parodies where characters from children's shows act deranged. I couldn't stand reading MAD magazine for that reason and I felt my stomach turn when the MAD show had parody animations and such.. like I felt so sick playing the Cooking Mama game with the music and her scary face and the accuracy of the art and rdfhrdkhgrdkhfrgdkgf i hate it sifhdkxfhdg

THAT BEING SAID i was actually able to stomach this, PETA is pretty damn good with their creepy games :(; I'll give them that. Maybe I would have been more frightened if I was more aware of the Black/White trainers, because the woman at the front page gave me the chills.

seriously, deranged children's cartoon style accuracy, YOU'RE NOT WELCOME SOB

Just this.

This must have been done in reply to Team Plasma. I mean, let's be honest, Team Plasma is essentially a demonized PETA (in other words, standard PETA).

What if PETA is just something arranged by the meat industry to make animal activists look like idiots?

That bit of nonsense aside, I'm just seeing exactly it will take GameFreak or Nintendo to send a Cease and Desist or just sue.

They really don't know much about Pokemon if they think they can quote Ash Ketchum as saying "I don't hate you, I just don't care" to Pikachu. Obviously they left out every single episode of the anime when doing what tiny amount of research they must've done.

Scrolling down, I see PETA has other games like this one. They've succeeded in convincing me that they suck ass. If I ever want to donate money to stop animal abuse, they aren't getting it.

hey, Oxenkses, play the Cooking Mamma one

Just remember dont imprison small animales that shoot fire or lightning they have feelings to. And they may kill you.

They're just attention whores. Ignore them.

Oxenkses, if that's the kind of thing that convinces you PETA sucks ass, then you've got a long way to go in the game of life.

Also, google the word 'parody', you might actually learn something.

Generally good parody will mock or caricaturize features that are already present in the source material with intent of mocking them. It is a fair criticism to note that a parody has not only ignored, but pulled a complete 180 from what was in the original.

Not necessarily. It just makes use of a certain piece of art to criticise something. In this case it makes use of the Pokemon franchise to criticise animal cruelty. You can say it's not a clever deconstruction of Pokemon, but I don't think that was their intention.

It's funny.

You have to admit, PETA's a genius at making a splash. And any publicity is good publicity. It's shame though, PETA puts SUCH a bad name on animal rights, and cause people to think all supporters are batshit crazy. And the problem with the parody/game itself are the monologues. NO-ONE actually says things like that. A lot of "animal abusers" are just ignorant to the needs of their pets. There ARE exceptions of course...

PETA AINT GOT NOTHIN ON ME



YEAAAAHH

Why are they wasting valuable time making terrible video game parodies when they could be ramming sharp objects into their genitalia?

You know, something everyone can enjoy.

Because their mission is to raise awareness of animal cruelty.

Well thats PETA for you, making a big deal out of fictional animals again. The did the same to Mario, assuming he skinned raccoons to get the tanooki suit. Anyway just ignore them, they can do what they think is right its their opinion.

They're failing their mission, then. Nobody takes them seriously.

Except for the 501K people who liked their page. PETA does have supporters, just insane ones that make "normal" people go "Yeesh "

That being said, I wonder how many followers are just there to bash them.

Well regardless of what I think of them, the games do have little "goodies" that talk about animal cruelty, including videos and in-game factoids. So I don't think they're necessarily failing their mission, I sure as hell know that chickens get caged and live in awful environments. I just choose to pay extra for "organic" eggs rather than become full-on vegan like they want. It still created awareness, so they're pretty damn successful as much as people are too proud to admit.

The sad animal video made me unable to sleep. It's like Sarah McLaughlin's (sp?) SPCA commercial all over again.

Also, I named my Tepig "Bacon". Does that make me a horrible person?

PETA actually kills more than half of their "rescues" from pet shelters.

Yeah, what kaxbe said, honestly it's the main reason I don't have any respect for them, because honestly PETA is pretty far from being extremist. ALF and ARM are extreme.

They euthanize most of the animals donated to their shelters and they play it off as being because the animals they receive are in too horrible condition to let live. They have shock pictures of dogs and cats with gaping headwounds to 'prove' it.

actually, PETA has supported the Animal Liberation Front several times in the past and they have wired some of their funds towards the group.

I dont like peta now for some reason I just cant put my finger on it.

what's actually wrong with this

Fake Edit: like not trying to be edgy or whatever, it is an actual fact that there are more animals out there than caring\wealthy humans, plus a lot of the animals they'd take in are surely mentally or physically unhealthy

Sadly this is true some animals have ben so abused they just have no trust and they can be more trouble for not just pepole but other animals.

I had a girlfriend like that. You have no idea how hard I cried when I had to put her down.

SuitCase, on 13 October 2012 - 10:21 AM, said:

I'm aware of animal cruelty without PETA's creatively retarded methods of grabbing my attention.

But some other people are not! And hey, negative attention is better than no attention.

SuitCase, on 15 October 2012 - 02:24 AM, said:

it's just incredibly hypocritical since PETA will protest animal shelters not just for "inhumane living conditions", but also for euthanasia themselves

PETA does a lot of the dirty work that nobody else wants to do.

As stated earlier, there are so many more animals than there are homes to put them in. The option to euthanize animals isn't a pretty one, but it's one everyone has to accept unless you're open to having cats and dogs and other pets roaming freely around your home town. Or you could pay the salaries of the men and women who would have to take care of them indefinitely if euthanasia wasn't an option. And pay for the extra buildings to house them in and the food and the...

But most people won't do that because hey, some dog on the street ain't worth it them. And then we call PETA out for being hypocrites when they're actually one of the few groups actually doing something instead of nothing.

A topic as complicated as animal cruelty is one that's ripe for hypocrisy. Organizations like PETA are often forced into these situations just because of the sheer magnitude of the issue. Some animals are going to be beyond saving, some cities are going to have animal population problems. So animals are going to be put down, many perfectly healthy ones too. Instant hypocrisy in some eyes. But necessary hypocrisy. It's just the truth of the world we live in.

There isn't a single issue sacred enough where I can't point out some hypocrisy on the part of some group supporting it. That's the price of admission for going big in this world.

The only true hypocrisy is the hypocrisy drawn from combining expectations with apathy. These are the people who want something but aren't willful enough to do anything about it.

I disagree. While I'm certainly aware of it, I've developed an unhealthy contempt for the entire operation. Diplomacy is key in any organization on that scale. If they weren't run by unimaginative, petulant children, they could plan something beneficial to animals and the community all at once, something big that could change public perception. But no: they get the attention they want, but it's such a horrifically short-sighted method for their cause in general.

Where does "woodchipper" fall on the scale of humane treatment?

Oh, look, another parody game that PETA made so they can spread awareness about the "evils of eating innocent animals".
Whoopee.

Id'e give it a 10. I hope you did it over a river thats a big mess to clean up.

don't pollute the rivers.

Dont think of it as polluting think of it as fresh fish food.

I love how PETA is against using animals in medicine but the vice president of it uses medicine made from animals.

Also if they dont have the money to care for all the animals in their care, why do they keep making games like this? Couldnt it be better used on the animals and not on ads comparing the living standards of chickens to the hollocaust?
