Games that Actually Deserve the PETA Parody Treatment
Red Dead Redemption – So PETA thinks we should be outraged by Mario wearing the equivalent of a child’s teddy bear pyjamas, but this goes without comment by them?
Cabela’s Hunting games – These games are nothing but shooting furry woodland creatures in the face. Also, lately the development teams behind the games have been infiltrated by crazy people who think nature is out to murder us all.
Harvest Moon series – Succeeding in these games means exploiting your collection of livestock non-stop for wool, milk and eggs. Sure, you can do the “free range” thing and let them wander outside if you want, but you get about the same results if you leave them cooped up in the barn. You can even give your animals a whack or two with your axe without the game penalizing you much.

More like “Island of Hellish Animal Exploitation“!
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 version) – This game boldly went where no Sonic game had gone before — human/hedgehog romance. Surely PETA is against bestiality, right? Probably? Hmmmm.
What games do you guys think actually have the PETA parody treatment coming? Just want to list your top 5 tastiest animals? Or maybe you’re a card carrying PETA member and want to explain how we here at GammaSquad are missing the joke. Leave a comment below!

PETA stands for Poorly Educated Teen Activists, right?
They are also against eating beaver, which is just stupid.
Do you have any idea how many dens of wolves, packs of boars, and roaming hordes of endangered species in Middle Earth have fallen to my axe so I can make a critical success version of a cloak from a Wooly Mammoth?
The auction hall on Lord of the Rings Online is akin to a virtual slaughterhouse with stacks of hundreds of furs and leathers. I personally have at least 100 in my vault.
PETA is a joke. They are a bunch of hypocrite idiots. They actually kill any animal they deem ‘un-adoptable’ In fact, here’s something I just found.

“Ethical” Defined
After more than 100 dead dogs were dumped in a trash dumpster over four weeks, police in Ahoskie, N.C., kept an eye on the trash receptacle behind a supermarket. Sure enough, a van drove up and officers watched the occupants throw in heavy plastic bags. They detained the two people in the van and found 18 dead dogs in plastic bags in the dumpster, including puppies; 13 more dead dogs were still in the van. Police say the van is registered to the headquarters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and the two occupants, Andrew B. Cook, 24, and Adria Joy Hinkle, 27, identified themselves as PETA employees. An autopsy performed on one of the dogs found it was healthy before it was killed. Police say PETA has been picking up the animals — alive — from North Carolina animal shelters, promising to find them good homes. Cook and Hinkle have been charged with 62 felony counts of animal cruelty. In response to the arrests PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said it’s against the group’s policy for employees to dump animals in the trash, but “that for some animals in North Carolina, there is no kinder option than euthanasia.” (Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald) …Oops, my mistake: that’s “Playing God” Defined.
