Honestly, if I were to make a game the first people I would piss off is PETA for free marketing even though animals are awesome.

PETA should first stop mass-murdering thousands of adoptable pets in their so-called shelters and then talk about the representation of a historically documented activity in a video game. Damn hypocrites and money grabbers, that's all they are.

I dont give a f*ck about Animals in videogames. I kill all Animals with every Weapon. I dont care if they burn or they bleed to death! Why? Beause these "Animals" are made up of binary codes and graphics!!! PETA should do about animal cruelty in Real Life...

Far Cry 3 was bad with there animal killings I know it did show up gruesome and all but I thought to my self this isn't real so it didn't affect me that much because honestly whos going to blow up a rpg?

From what I understand they have quite a bad name even in some vegetarian / vegan circles because of how ridiculous and outright deceitful some of their tactics and marketing is. Not to mention I have heard stories of how they would treat local animal rights organizations very badly.

Oh yeah, I can see how I will play this game and then suddenly have the need to kill some whales in real life, so thanks PETA for rescuing the poor whales from me...löl ^^

I can agree that games like Cabela's Dangerous Hunt, which are focused strictly in killing animals, are messed up. But to condemn any kinda of animal slaughter, even if justifiable by the context of the game, it is just ideological fanatism.

Even that does not look like "cruelty" to me. I do not know about the entire game but in the scenario presented in that video it seems it was necessary to kill the animals in order for the humans to survive. That should always be valid, as the animals certainly would kill the humans to survive if they had to.
What's more, simply killing an animal does not make it "cruelty". PETA really needs to make a distinction between hunting, humane animal killing for food (and perhaps some other products), and necessary use of animals for drug testing on the one hand, and true cruelty like factory farming and animal testing of cosmetics on the other hand.

And the populace loses another bunch of valuable brain cells... I prefer to think that everyone who blame games for anything stupid like this are secretly plotting to take over the world by turning everyone else into brainless husks with all the retarded accusation they throw around.
Actually, that's it! PETA are secretly part of the Templars! It all makes sense now! :D

PETA is known for creating extremely controversial (and equally stupid, brainless and without any argument) statements, that's the way i take anything that comes from said organization.
When Greenpeace or any other organization whose owners have at least 1 more brain cell bring something like this to the table, i may pay attention.

OMG there's whaling in asscreed 4. Must buy a boat and harpoon right away to try this irl, so much motivation to do it now!!! Then I'll carve the whale up and make whale armor and weapons to hunt even more whales. Soon I'll be hunting G rank whales and my hr will be over 9999. Nobody can stop me.

Fuck PETA and their constant complaints, video games are harmless, it's not as if every time I kill an animal in-game, somewhere on the world, an animal drops dead

more i hear about peta more i hate them, i don't know if either they want attention on them and make know that they exists and are ready to annoy everyone with their stupid things or if only are stupids. I can't believe they have to accuse games every time there is something related to animals, why they don't only look at reality where also their usefulness it's doubtful.

PETA also did the same thing to Mario because of his costume

Well, where is the problem. Better in games as in reallife... PETA overacts a bit I think. (I love animals also, but I don't care about pixel animals lol)

PETA have slammed the inclusion of whaling in Assassins Creed IV.
Obviously this isn't the sort of acceptable whaling that goes on nowadays (solely for scientific research), but the mean 18th century sort, that was all about cruelty and making money.
Where should the line of acceptability be drawn in games? Is it acceptable to kill rats? Or whales? Or civilians in an airport?
