And this Is why Peta isn't taken seriously.

No, the turkey-dog thing isn't it...it's the fact they are protesting the Raccoon suit from Mario. Apparently the raccoon suit promotes violence.

Not the frogger jumping through traffic
Not the gorilla throwing barrels
Not the ability to shoot dogs in Call of Duty
Not mario jumping on turtles
Not mario shooting fire at animals
Not running over pedestrians in GTA
Not fishing games where the point is...FISHING

Not hunting games where the point is...HUNTING

No, it's Mario wearing a raccoon suit that is telling our kids that violence is OK.

To tell you the truth, this is the first time I have ever thought of it relating to the skin of a real animal anyways...I mean, it makes you fly, not sift through garbage. You get it after capturing a leaf, not an animal.

Peta, this is why no one takes anything you do seriously...you need a manager who can logically look at the issues you are attacking and let you know when it's just ridiculous.

The plight of Raccoon dogs and their unfair treatment is real. Saying that Mario promotes it does nothing but make the real cause look like a joke.
