PETA Attacks Battlefield 3 Over Animal Cruelty

[shortbus25]

PETA STFU I wish these idiots had something better to do then give people that make games and commercials a hard time about all the stuff they put in them. Hey people at PETA do you drive cars? You can miss every bug and creature while driving, everyone kills every day whether bugs rats whatever. I thought they were only against mistreating and killing if everyone killed stuff the way you kill the rat in the SP campaign I think it would be more humane then using a trap. One quick jab through the head Nighty Night.

Oh totally.. Because seeing things in a game is likely to make me want to do them in real life too... sure..

You don't see them complaining about Oblivion or skyrim where you kill bears, birds, WOLFS.. Foxes etc..

[citation][nom]trex2488[/nom]Wow, If PETA got on BF3 case for killing rats... Idk what they're going to do when they notice MW3 has dogs with bombs strapped to them...[/citation]
Did they ever complain about the killing of animals in World of Warcraft???

[citation][nom]mediaslave[/nom]Seems quite a few people here don't quite get the point. What they are saying is that the behavior in the game could possibly inspire the same behaviour in real life. People obviously aren't going to go out and start mowing down others BF3 style (although, I guess, some have) but certain idiots could see it as "just a rat" and go out and do it in real life. Then what's next? Cat? Dog? YOUR dog? I can see their point, and for once its not really a bad one. PETA is usually so completely full of crap its laughable, but I think they actually have a point here. Its an unnecessary part of the game, with possible negative real world consequences, so why have it in there?[/citation]

Nice slippery slope fallacy...

Imagine this, what if taking out killing caused people to do it more. Maybe killing things in games satisfies that need to kill something an d turn makes you less violent in the real world. WHAT A CONCEPT. If you get easily swayed by video games then don't play it.

Also, the rat fucking bit him in the hand and was going to give away his position with all of it's squealing, he had to kill it.

Ahahaha, I had to log in just to say that I almost died laughing from that..

The rat was biting him....it was self defense!

See I didn't know the rat was gonna get him killed (not as if I cared anyway I hate rats), and now that I know it is done in order to survive I totally support this virtual vermin destruction (again I would kill it anyway).

PETA makes the most hardcore OWS and Tea Party people seem sane in comparison. Complaining about rat killing in a war game, nutjobs!

It's street a virtual rat, it will bring virtual disease.

I'd like to know PETAs thoughts on MW3s depiction of suicide bomber dogs in the Special Ops Survival Missions.

 

[gokanis]

Not these nuts again? It's a game, but then again, people that can't tell that humans are more important than animals in the first place really don't have their ducks ligned up too straight. Although I do like dogs better than most people but cats are great grilled with orange sauce.

PETA is such a PITA.

 

[KelvinTy]

What about Skyrim or hunting simulators?
Got to love the way people trolling in Germany, just like in Youtube, full of trolls.

 

[alyoshka]

They ought to add the PETA people in the next series... as the enemies..... bet we'd shoot every little bit off

 

[spacey1]

this is silly.. these guys are just mad there lives didnt turn out the way they wanted so they are mad,or they didnt get enough huges as a child..they are miserable and they want the rest of the world to be as well..
disclaimer..I in no way promote or support animal abuse in the real world..
I bet they dont say anything when that server brings them that medium rare steak out of the kitchen lol..

In all fairness, the rat brought it on itself. The rat bit the characters finger after the character tried moving it out of the way by brushing it out of the way.

If a dog bites a human, it is put down. Same principal applies to the rat, just a little more harshly.

 

[hoofhearted]

WTF?!?! It's a freaking rat! Where I am from, we use those to practice our golf swing.

Maybe they need to mess with Fable and the chicken kicking. Now I always have this urge to play some football every time I seem a real one.
