I'm all for animal rights, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[New Super Mario]

Wow, I agree schmutz.

It's weird they just start to complain now

 

[Mariomario64]

What. Is. This.

 

[MnSG]

Okay, what I just saw, is rather disturbing.

 

[ToxBox]

I have played the game and it is creepy and if I catch Mario, Tanooki say a bad word

 

[BEEEEEAAARRRS]

sounds like petas suddenly pretty mad bro

whyd they randomly speak up now when tanooki was done in like 1987 or whatever

...

WHAT

 

[Glowsquid]

After their Battlefield 3 antics where they made a huge deal out of the protagonist stabbing a rat,

I know Peta's essentially trolling for hits by picking huge targets (and as the existence of this and 2997 other enraged forum thread's shows, it works), but... seriously?

 

[Propeller Toad]

So Peta has enough time and money to create a campaign against a children's video game character wearing a fur suit instead of trying to protect the rights of animals? This is very sad.

Seems like they're pretty late as well. Like what Toadbert said, what about the Tanooki Suit from SMB3, and Frog Suit? Penguin Suit? I guess stomping on turtles was missed as well. :P

 

[BEEEEEAAARRRS]

yeah i was gonna say that too

why are they wasting time doing stuff like this when theres some pretty crazy cruelty to farm animals

 

[ToxBox]

And I played games that Chicken Mario Bros is trying to save all chickens, I think PETA is crazy and is there a PETA forum?

 

[Propeller Toad]

I have no idea. Apparently on another forum, there are statistics for what PETA has done (have no idea if it is correct, but I might as well post it):

More killing than saving I see.

 

[ToxBox]

There is scary video about Tanooki under the game, I have watched it, if you don't like to see someone beat up them up, don't watch

 

[Smasher]

wow what the fuck

 

[ToxBox]

Why they want Tanooki fur?

 

[UltraMario]

The official PETA page for it.

[Propeller Toad]

Ugh, that video was horrible. Seeing the raccoon dog move its head while its fur was being removed was probably one of the most horrifying things I have seen. :O

 

[Paper Yoshi]

Even though this is very stupid and pointless, PETA is rather late. Tanooki Mario (and Frog Mario for that matter) debuted in 1988. That's 23 years ago.

 

[Propeller Toad]

Let us not forget about the many creatures that were stomped underneath Mario's foot in SMB or mice that were blown up (SMB2). Wouldn't Donkey Kong's abuse from the original Donkey Kong arcade games be something to talk about as well? :P

So indeed, why now?

Exactly. PETA could've done this basically anytime since Donkey Kong was released. They must be out of items in their to-do list.

 

[Mario Super Sluggers]

PETA means:

Protect
Endangered
Tasty
Animals

 

[ToxBox]

I sent Nintendo a e-mail about PETA

 

[UltraMario]

PETA means

People
Eat(ing)
Tasty
Animals

They suck.

No u. But in all seriousness, they're trying to PROTECT animals, not KILL them for fucks sake.

 

[Mario Super Sluggers]

Good for you. Now PETA will die.
