These people are ridiculous.

quote:

Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has set its sights on iconic video game character Mario for wearing fur in Nintendo’s latest 3DS game Super Mario 3D Land.

Since the game launched Sunday, the organization has launched a scathing online campaign entitled “Mario Kills Tanooki.” In Nintendo's new game, Mario sometimes dons the skin of a tanooki, which is a Japanese raccoon dog.

This gives me an idea for a next year's halloween costume.

"Evil Tanooki Slayer Mario".

They have a video of tanooki's in China being killed. Doooon't watch it.

Unless you like to see a still alive and blinking animal with no skin on.

But still, PETA sucks, and protesting Mario games...

I think the video is from Japan. I don't doubt that the Japanese are heartless bastards when it comes to the ethical treatment of animals. Look how they treat dolphins, whales, and sharks.

I just think it is ridiculous to protest a video game character that gets his suit from a box with a "?" on it. It's not like there is a minigame where Mario skins the Tanooki alive and then kicks it in the balls.
