Skinned alive? Yeah, I think I would need something more than PETA's word for that one.
LOL are they serious?? Someone has got to tell PETA to get a freakin life!!! Its a VIDEO GAME..oh and by the way, thanks for reminding me, I gotta get this game!! I love Mario and its in 3D!
Now they’re chasing fictional characters and video games. The inmates are running the insane asylum.
“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.
“Tanooki may be just a suit in the game, but in real life tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur,” PETA’s site states. “By wearing a Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it is OK to wear fur.” “
First of all the Tanooki suit was used way back in Super Mario 3 in the early 90s. /nerd factoid
Second.....ARE YOU %$@%& KIDDING ME, PETA!?
"And I eat all of my meals out of turtle shells!"
Mario also steps on turtles too, i saw it in a video game....
The best way to treat PETA people is to douse them with water on a cold day, and then offer them a fur coat.
Well... that's because it IS ok to wear fur.
