Teletubby 150,980 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Animal-rights advocacy group PETA wants Nintendo to remove the brass nose ring from Cow, the joyful anthropomorphic vehicle-driving character in the recently released top-selling game “Mario Kart World.” Yes, really. PETA this week launched a campaign to urge the Japanese game maker to redesign the Cow character “without the nose ring — a painful reminder of the cruelty cows endure in the meat and dairy industries.” “The brass ring in Cow’s nose glosses over real-world violence and cruelty to animals. That’s why we’re asking you to give this beloved bovine a small but meaningful upgrade: Remove the nose ring and let Cow race freely — without any painful reminders of the industries that treat animals like profit-making machines,” Joel Bartlett, PETA’s SVP of marketing engagement, wrote in a letter addressed to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, which the group posted on its website. He added, “leave the rings to Sonic and let Cow breathe free!” "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopeEnigma 1,477 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Maybe focus more on real life than a game? I still remember that bizarre Pokémon game PETA released. Edited August 16 by DopeEnigma 10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murakami27 5,213 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I don’t see them advocating for stopping the use of turtle shells to shoot at your opponents. Won’t someone think of the turtles! 5 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdrake 1,070 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) 1. PETA can suck it 2. so they don't care about hurling empty turtle shells around? gasp 3.

PartySick 161,532 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 PETA has slaughtered tens of thousands of animals themselves lmao. They can bite it. Dozens of acres of rain forest are torn down every hour. Imagine caring about a cow from Mario. You're stinky 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenNovember 567 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) I remember back in the 90s, when The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released, the cows in the Japanese version had huge nose rings, but in the European version the nose rings had been removed. Same with the sequel, Majora's Mask. The reason they didn't remove it in this instant is probably the fact, that Mario Kart is not depicting a regular cow, but a sentient being, which implies the nose ring is a fashion accessory. So, as per usual, PETA are making fools out of themselves, hurting their cause in the process and losing even more credibility. Edited August 17 by GoldenNovember It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
