And this time it's towards Pokemon.
Seriously, did they not learn from the Mario fiasco?

EDIT: Oh, and yes, they did not do the bloody research. Again.

Beaten to the punch years ago by these guys.

All PeTA knows how to do is #%@*& for attention and kill animals they "rescue" while suckering saps. There are far more legit animal rights groups that don't get a 10th the attention or needed donations because they don't pull stupid stunts like this.

PETA's a pack of lying ass glory hounds and they can blow me.

PETA; for when you're hankering for some burgers, they'll be sure to let you feel justified after seeing their drivel.  ;D

Though I have to say my favorite game of theirs was that Cooking Mama parody. One of my old coworkers (when I used to work for the big N) dressed up like her for Halloween.  ;D Needless to say, lulz were had at PETA's expense.

For those that want better animal rights activists to support may I direct you to the worst commercial (as in will ruin your day and make you depressed seriously, using spoiler tags because I find it super depressing) for a great organization, the ASPCA!

Also a link to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is here (http://www.aspca.org/ (http://www.aspca.org/)) and the great thing is they care about real animals instead of fictional ones! (Yeah I know that's missing the point for PETA's ad campaign, but it really does feel like that's what they're fighting for sometimes)

In case you guys were wondering if they could make even more of an ass of themselves...

Bloody hell, double post. Fucking connection hiccups, I really should make sure that the connection is going smoothly before prancing around on Opera Mini.

I don't think a burn heal is enough to fix that burn.  8)

I'm guessing people are trying to make protective services for games too??

The irony of this is that the first game essentially had this as a key plot point. But we can't have them going "hey, we resemble that remark" now, can we?

I have no idea why PETA would lash out at an anime that's been around for more then a dacade. Not only that but Pokemon aren't exactly animals. They're something else that are...well...Pokemon. So I really don't see why the need to go this far. Can't they just be...I dunno...normal about this whole animal cruelty thing? Animal rights activists are fine when they're doing their jobs "properly". But when they get out of hand like this they lose all respect and their future efforts are nothing more then a bad joke.

They'll never lose all respect because like them, there are many other retards living in this world.

Cool trailer for the live action you posted there. I know I saw a trailer before, but not one that long.

So someone tried to troll PETA with this:

Dunno if it actually worked though, but it was still kinda funny.

I really don't see why the government won't just pull the plug on them. If PETA won't do their jobs as they should then they shouldn't even be in business.

THAT.

Also, it's interesting how pokemon is still fairly popular and well-known by kids an entire decade after the initial poke-craze, when all the kids were after pokemon and everything related to them.

Isn't PETA an NGO?

Well Peta isn't a government organization. And it's not that surprising that they'd attack Pokemon after the success of their last video game attack.
If you missed that one-
The Big Picture: Skin Game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVjxspDHy_o#ws)

Realistically Pokemon is similar to a chicken fighting and bug collecting simulator so it's is a soft target for PETA who just want attention and not to talk about real problems. Pokemon can be one of those things that sounds cruel if you think about it too much, but then you remember it's just a video game, cartoon and comic.

PS- this is a pretty amusing old critique of the franchise though.
