Veggie group attacks Cooking Mama
p2pnet news view | Games:- “Mama gonna make a chef out of you,” says Cooking Mama, Majesco’s Nintendo DS game.
But, Not if we can help it, says PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), releasing its own blood-soaked version called Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals.
Pluck the feathers from a still-living bird. Take out its organs. Hack the the head off the body.
And, “After you’ve completed a level, the player is told animal-abuse facts,” says Straight.com, going on:
“For example, millions of turkeys are scalded to death in tanks of boiling water.”
With Thanksgiving in the US just around the corner, “PETA hopes to raise awareness of the treatment of turkeys in slaughterhouses”.

Reminds me of my youth when my grandmother prepared chicken for supper… Sorry PETA, I’ve made my peace with my meal.

I can’t tell you how much I hate sites that play music without asking (essentially, without it being expected). This is a serious and important site, not youtube, and sound is not normal. Don’t you realise that many people will be reading this at work? It’s not practical to turn the speakers off, because many applications rely on sounds for alerts and warnings. And don’t tell me “it’s in the games category” because when you use the RSS feed, you don’t know that until the page loads.

^^ What!!! Reading this at work ?!?!? What’s the world coming to?
Anyhow, it is annoying and I’ve taken it off.
Cheers!

Luckily I played the game a few minutes before it was gone, and I must say… PETA people are bigger bastards than us meat eaters, they just wasted a perfectly good cooked turkey!

Why do they bother? Many HUMANS aren’t being treated ethically.
