This has to be one of the stupidest things they've ever done ,and that is saying something.
Animal rights group PETA calls for Warhammer fur clothing ban.

To clarify, I abhor what GW has done to Warhammer Fantasy with Age of Shitmar, and don't really buy their overpriced models at all anymore, but I still love the hobby and detest when competely outsider groups try to play up as if they know what they're talking about to confuse people who don't know better.

"7:14 PM - Heavenhair Sixes: I've played since Rogue Trader, I'm fairly sure that most Earth animals were extinct long before the WH40k setting - most 'fur' comes from foul xenos or modified orphans or some such crap. If PETA want to start defending the rights of face eating beasts from strange fictional deathworlds then they are only going to end up looking like even bigger idiots."

Update:PETA has filed a formal complaint against Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. Quoting "the use of fur pelts in fictional fantasy is encouraging the normalization of slaughtering animals."
Also they believe animal farms are far more brutal than what goes on in Warhammer and Warhammer 40k.
That's a Grudge:

Animal rights group

If you want to fight for animal rights - you should at least have basic knowledge about animals you are fighting for.

PETA is group of attention whores pretending to be animal rights group :) But I guess every move is allowed if you need donations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Once again we see something absolutely ridiculous. I don't know if they really believe in their point on this case or just want to yell about something since they can. I suppose they are just starting a new way to piss off people by starting to nitpick fictional things!

PETA is just a big joke and not the funny one.

PETA is a bunch of whinny faggots that "save" animals by putting them down themselves. Or just protesting for 5 minutes and not actually doing anything, like, say, someone who actually cares, like the ALF a few years back.
Man, fuck PETA. Why anyone would take those idiots seriously past the age of 10 is beyond me.

PETA don't care if Necrons want to wear human pelts...

"“These battle-hardened warriors are known for their martial prowess – but wearing the skins of dead animals doesn't take any skill."

Wearing clothes in general takes little skill (comparatively speaking; 4 year olds might object). Making clothes from dead animals does take some skill though, and if the animals are caught in the wild that also takes some skill.

99% of the animals in Warhammer are deadly alien creatures that are more likely to kill a puny human for kicks than they are to be cuddly helpless little creatures.PETA doesn't bother to do that sort of research though.

Protip: PETA doesn't actually care whether fictionalized characters are wearing fur. They only made the complaint because people like you would talk about it and give them advertisement.

Except that none of the people reading this thread and commenting are likely to think better of PETA:)

Hearing about PETA always reminds me of this movie:

Dammit PETA, why do you feel a need to keep more animals alive for you to exterminate?

But seriously. I hate PETA. They are awful. Did I mention I hate PETA?

Yes? Well then, just to let you know, I hate PETA.
