PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has started a new ad campaign targeting the brand new Super Mario 3D Land video game for the Nintendo 3DS.
The group seems to be up in arms over Mario's "Tanooki" racoon suit.
Says PETA:
Tanooki may be just a 'suit' in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By wearing Tanooki, ... [ read the full article ]

I just tried the game...it is terrible. You can't move any slower or faster and there don't seem to be any enemies (although I kept falling in holes because I couldn't run). PETA can't even make an 8-bit video game!

PETA now says that they were just joking; they just wanted to draw everyone's attention to the fact that Tanooki suits really do exist.
Why do I get the feeling that mario fans are going to drive up the price on these as they buy all the Tanooki furs they can find?

Maybe PETA is having financial problems like the rest of us & they have a skeleton in the closet... like stock in Tanooki furs...

I am just waiting for Tanooki Burger to open up a franchise in my area. We have a Panda Express but they look at you funny when you order Panda. :)

OK we all know PETA is good for one thing , a big LOL ,, they have good intentions and over the years they have done some good , but has anyone ever seen the episode that SOUTH PARK did about PETA ??? They did a great job making a fool of them !!! LOL --- We are at the top of the food chain and animals are a part of that chain , unless you choose not to eat them , and that is your right to do so !!! Misstreating animals is not just a F#$%^& up thing to do and good for PETA for going after these types of sick people ,,, But to bash a company for making a game with a animal in it that is hunted for it`s pelts ,,, grow up and get a life ,, over the course of the past what , 50 or so years every cartoon on tv has had a animal that has been hunted for it`s pelt !!!!! This is just stupid and I hope that it never even makes it`s way into the courtroom doors ,, thrown out before it makes it in there ,, call it sencorship all over again --------- PEACE

PETA is not about protecting animals; that is what the ASPCA is for. What little good PETA sometimes does is done using donations that would have done far more good if given to the ASPCA.
