ALF, but they dont count because theyre more badass than PETA and not such pussies

PETA supports them financially! They are just PETA's "special ops".

I'm surprised they haven't gone after other games for depicting the treatment of animals as inhumane.

Like Overlord, where you massacre sheep for life force. Any MMO where you kill anything that moves for EXP and the occasional pelt. Etc.

Considering that the majority of people aware of PETA existence despise them, if there was to be a vegetarian cooking mama game I doubt that they would want there game promoted by PETA.

Yeah, PETA has supported ALF for a while

"Sirdanrhodes requests PeTA to shut the fuck up!"

I propose to Majesco to respond with a new title, Protest Mama! Help mama create fake facts to present to the public. Work with mama to make stupid protest signs and write annoying chants. Create propaganda videos on how poorly we treat our food before it's prepared.

Irish is fully tired of PETA's bullcrap. I tolerate your dietary choices, now you do the bloody same!

Probably because they are terrorists. The tactics they use, the acts they commit, and the demands they give anyone who doesn't see things their way, PETA is by definition a violent terrorist group. Why the governments of Canada and the US don't shoot-to-kill storm their meetings baffles me.

They havn't killed humans on a large scale yet. The extremists PETA funds have thus far only destroyed property and issued death threats.

See, that don't make any sense. If someone from Hezzbolah (sp?) threatened to kill a bunch of people, they would act against them before they either did or did not make good on their threats. But PETA threatens to kill people, and nobody will get involved unless they carry out their murders. It's a double standard.

Especially given that PETA murdered over 3000 animals surrendered to them in 2006. Sorry, 'euthanised'.

Better to die then to be killed?

I think the idea isn't bad: there definitely is a market for all things vegetarian, why not a game? The only problem is the overtly militant approach PETA took when confronting the issue, instead of talking business with Majesco directly.

Majesco would certainly publish a vegetarian version if it made economic sense, but I somehow doubt they would be in the mood to deal with PETA who is more intent on tarnishing them than anything else.

I wonder what Cooking Mama would look like if it was officially launched in other countries. What would Cooking Mama look like in India? Would the game be "kosher" for countries with Judaism as the main religion? How would you handle Halal in Cooking Mama?

Hmm *has an idea for the next Rainbow Six game*

"Rainbow Six: PETA Patrol"

PETA=Loonies
I defined the thread!

"Rainbow Six: PETA Patrol"

Knowing ubisoft it would be about fighting russians invading ukraine or some other completly unrelated event.

Can't vegetarians just ignore the meat recipes in Cooking Mama?

AceDiamond:
I love how PETA doesn't even realize when they're being made fun of, they're that delusional.

Of course. I mean, I'm sure their thoughts are something like this: "We've antagonized a lot of people. So, none of them will hold a grudge and be passive-aggressive sarcastic, right?"

Lvl 64 Klutz:
In the words of Jim Gaffigan: "You know who else loves meat? Vegetarians. They're obsessed with it. Their goal seems to be to get every vegetable product to taste and look like some kind of meat."

I see your Gaffigan quote and raise you one more "I'm a vegetarian. I'm not a strict vegetarian, I eat beef and pork...and chicken, but not fish 'cause that's disgusting!"

On to the article itself, "We played and studied them as we prepared our lighthearted parody of your successful series."

Wait, are they fucking serious? Lighthearted?! You showed her covered in blood demanding that you be "mean."

You fail to realize the idiocy that is PETA. PETA isn't going to be satisfied with an all-veg game being released if Majesco still makes other Cooking Mama games with meat in them. They aren't the kind of protester who want something for themselves and are willing to let people who don't share their views still have their own way. No, PETArds want the abolishment of any meat eating, and are unwilling to live with the idea that some people will never live a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. They're fundamentalists, as bad as the KKK or Al-Queda (sp?). It's convert to their ways or die, and they really wish non-vegetarians to be dead. They have ZERO love of humans, if you're not with PETA, as a person, you are expendable for the sake of the animals... Animals they kill just because they've been around people.

Why are they turning this into some kind of prejudice ordeal. They don't like meat, they shouldn't eat it then, they should also shut up about it and stop telling us not to either.

Exactly. PETA plays a game by zero-sum logic. They have to win outright or it isn't a victory.

And that makes them very dangerous (and detrimental to whatever agendas they try to advance).

Its odd that when a shelter puts a pet down, its the holocaust, but when they do, its euthanasia, isn't it?

That's PETA's problem, and frankly being a meat lover and a vegetable hater, I could care less about PETA's militant stance against eating meat. There are plenty of idiotic groups out there. You named two yourself: Al Qaeda and KKK. They don't concern me, and I could care less what their manifests state. Extremism is bad in any way, period.

All I'm stating is Cooking Mama is a game that could benefit from having a vegetarian version released from Majesco's point of view - and Majesco may very well release such a game, but it won't be from buckling under PETA's pressure; it would be because Majesco can make money out of it.

If PETA won't be satisfied until all meat references are removed from Cooking Mama, well, they can remain bitterly dissatisfied because that day will not arrive.

They really aren't doing the majority of vegetarians any favours with responses like this. But then Majesco's genius comments put them in position where either way they responded (militant or "hey-where-really-all-friends-aren't-we?) would make them look like dicks. Which they are.

The KKK and Weather Underground come to mind.
Seriously, all PETA does is make bad flash games and through fake blood at people. That's not terrorism, that's just being annoying.

What I find really bothering are the vegans/vegetarians who are so damn polite. It makes me feel really guilty for finishing my hamburger.

3000 animals taken in good faith and then murdered, people's live and properties threatened due to a difference in opinion?

Here's my favourite though.

First, Fox News, really? I might as well quote Counter Punch then.

Second, Peta does not threaten peoples lives. It's not like they're the unabomber or idiots like John Zerzan who want kill off almost the entire human population.

Sure they may comically bombastic, more interested in the spectacle than any decent critique and they have of nasty habit of destroying stuff. That doesn't mean they're advocating bombing people though.

That was a joke. The 3000 pets taken away from their owners and then euthanised wasn't.

Ho really?
Rabbi receives hundreds of death threats
Even the FBI considered them terrorists...

I'm still laughing over the idea of them saving animals by lethal injection. Not.

PeTA is crazy. They're talking to Cooking Mama as their ambassador to gamers.

PETA has handled press for the ALF, as well as given members funding. ALF gets in the way of animal testing for medicinal reasons, which gets directly in the way of producing cures for diseases. They have funded, lend legitimacy to, and defend the ALF in public

Ingrid Newkirk:

"Thinkers may prepare revolutions, but bandits must carry them out."

-Terrorists or Freedom Fighters? Reflections on the Liberation of Animals.
Best, Steven & Nocella, Anthony J (eds). Lantern 2004, p. 341

And a fun bit of hypocrisy, they often advocate nothing good comes of animal testing yet founder Ingrid Newkirk takes animal produced insulin

Ingrid Newkirk:

"I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still contains some animal products -- and I have no qualms about it ... I'm not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don't see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals."
--Glamour, January 1990

PETA isn't just some benign organization. They have funded, and will probably continue to fund the ALF and similar organizations that impede scientific progress. They are a danger to medicine and the people who rely on medicine to survive.

As I always say :

Lynch PETA activists, save animals !

Slimy two-timing double-speech hypocritic assholes deserve no press, only a good licking...
