PETA Creates "Mario Kills Tanooki" Campaign, because Mario said it's Okay to Wear Fur

GB: "If PETA has its way, Mario has stolen his last tanuki skin. The mustachioed plumber is back to wearing tanuki fur (“tanuki” is the Japanese word for raccoon dogs), and now Tanooki is fighting back to reclaim what’s his in Super Tanooki Skin 2D, a new side-scrolling game from PETA. In the game, which is the center of PETA’s new “Mario Kills Tanooki” campaign, players direct a bloody, skinned raccoon dog as he chases a tanuki fur–suited Mario through a surreal fur farm where raccoon dogs are routinely skinned alive for their fur. Quick reflexes and jumping skills will allow Tanooki to capture Mario and reclaim his skin."

Go die in a fire PETA.
Just go die.

[Karooo]

Yeah dude, that was ridiculous.

[Micro_Sony]

Dude its not right to wish death on anyone.

OT: Tanuki is so yesterday - Penguin is the new look.

Wishing the demise of an organization who try to subvert children, splash "Santa isn't coming this Christmas" ads all over because they claim milk causes impotence and generally waste people's time, not to mention their decades of organized misinformation, using outdated data and videos as "evidence," and did I mention, targeting their propaganda directly at children - I have no issue with wishing the demise of such a despicable organization.

And then the hypocrites turn around and slaughter cats and dogs themselves. Seriously, I'm all for animal rights to prevent abuses, but Peta just goes too far. They're a joke.

Die in a fire, Peta.

[ChickeyCantor]

Micro,

It's called comprehensive reading.
I never pointed the death wish upon a human, did I?

I explicitly said "PETA".

[ronin4life]

You're right. I don't want anyone to die: but I do wish peta would disband or something.
Edit: on topic, video games are awesome( exept peta's mario "spoof".)

[DarkBlood]

oh for the love of.....

[gamingdroid]

ANIMALS!

[360ICE]

Nintendo please sue. Besides, it's more like Mario kills Koopa Troopa... oh right.

add:
I gotta admit PETA's got a point. Reading this article made me realize that some humans might not be all that much more inteligent than animals after all. Have them skinned is what I say.

[ronin4life]

You do know peta regularly euthanizes animals, don't you?
They also spoofed ( if you can call it that...) cooking mama by turning her into a butcher for featuring cooking of meat/non vegetarian meals.

[360ICE]

Yes I've seen the Penn and Teller episode.
Not that I always agree with them, but PETA are pretty stupid. Or numbingly deficient to use a more appropriate terminology. One hot dog please is what I say. (in addition to "have them skinned") One hot dog with fur...

[Tommykrem]

"By wearing Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it's OK to wear fur"

I don't even know where to begin.

[Lionalliance]

The hell is this....

[ziggurcat]

just... stop, peta. stop.

[death2smoochie]

When organizations do this type of over the top antics, they becomes an excessive joke.
PETA just needs to go away.

[AdvanceWarsSgt]

When was PETA ever NOT considered an excessive joke?

[BDSE]

The thing is by reporting this the gaming website is drawing attention to PETA and inadvertently putting them in the reach of people who wouldn't normally have any idea who they are. The danger is that they may be drawn into PETA's lunacy.

The best thing would have been for the gaming press to have just ignored them and not given them the air space.

[Alos88]

The next suit you'll be dealing with is a lawsuit PETA.

[SonyNGP]

*repeatedly facedesks*

[KidMakeshift]

Well PETA kills about 80% of the animals it "saves"

Anyways, Mario turns into to a tanooki. I don't think they get the quirkyness of japanese lore.

Hell you'd think they would love Pom Poko

Though I will admit that Mario is kind of an ass to reptilian and sea life

[Squatch83]

''But now Peta - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - is itself on the receiving end of angry words over its own treatment of animals after it emerged that the organisation put down 96 per cent of the animals handed into its American headquarters. Of 2,216 animals taken to its premises in Norfolk, Virginia, last year, 2,124 were put to sleep - almost six per day. Homes were found for just seven. ''

Ugh. That actually makes me feel physically sick. Like, people are handing in their pets to PETA, thinking that PETA will look after them and give them a good home...and PETA just put them down instead. Without even giving them a chance. So wrong. :(

[Kakihara]

This type of thing is just like the Westboro baptist church and their 'God hates fags' nonsense. It's supposed to sound ridiculous so that people laughing at it turn it viral, in the organisation's eyes spreading awareness of their 'brand' to more people. The best thing to do with PETA is just ignore them. I say that as a vegetarian who is against eating meat or wearing animal skins when alternatives are possible.

[ExCest]

I don't think I ever thought about wearing fur because Mario does (he isn't. right? he just becomes tanooki right?)

Oh silly PETA

they're walkin on eu-thin-ice now (purposely spelled wrong and it's hard to spell euthanize lol i just did)

[mamotte]

You can save a few animals with the money you spend in making a crappy flash game.

Dear PETA people: Get a life.
