As I said over in System Wars, another day, another PETA article I will ignore. I originally thought the Tanooki Suit was Mario's Pajamas. Mario was kicking ass and taking names...in his PJ's

Does that mean they loved his get-up in Mario 3? Or is it the same thing?

I thought it was already well-established PETA is a well-known media attention whore, who gives animal rights groups a bad name... Why do people continue to be surprised at their stupidity?

Just a group of trolls. People should ignore this group, because all they want is attention and they don't care how they get it....

Next you'll see "PETA attempts to sue video game industry for having animal protagonists harm and being harmed by animal antagonists."

Dear god. PETA has gone too far. They're getting out of control. They really should do some research before making official statements about something. Besides Mario is way older than PETA so he wins by default.

They are protesting the skinning of tanooki by dipping them in boiling water and then stripping the fur off them by using an eye catching advertising campaign. They most likely don't actually think Mario is a murderer. And if they do think that ridiculous thing, they still are protesting something very worthwhile.

I swear to God PETA must be just one deluded individual, no way could so many others in a company even support these idiotic ideas and retaliations. I'm sure there porn site will fail.

I don't blame PETA at all.Mario skinned a tanooki and wore its body. If that isn't animal abuse I don't know what is.

Dear Peta

I played Red Dead Redemption and every time my horse was too tired to continue, I shot it and skinned it for profit... SO SUE ME.

Seems to me that someone at PETA was bored and wanted an excuse to make a satanic mario game where you play as a skinless rat.

The thing is, if Peta had of done it's homework it would have seen and played Naughty Bear to restore the balance.

PETA better not check out Red Dead Redemption or Skyrim... Animals get hunted, "skinned," and eaten by the player...

PETA probably played Super Mario Bros 3 as children and enjoyed every animal based power up but are only attacking Mario now because they couldn't beat it back then. They are spiteful I hear...

For example.....

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

They would probably takes this as proof of Mario's endorsement of skinning and eating animals. :twisted:

After hearing just about anything PETA does, it gives me the impulse to eat more meat than I usually do..... Its time for a nice hot Philly Cheese Steak.

Please. This is not real news. The PETA is demented, even if they have good intentions. So let's not spread stupidity like this.
