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!”

Maybe focus more on real life than a game? I still remember that bizarre Pokémon game PETA released.

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!

1. PETA can suck it

2. so they don't care about hurling empty turtle shells around? gasp

3. I would love if Nintendo came back and was like "it's a clip-in"

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.

Billionaires are a cancer. Even the ones you like.
