Surprise!: PETA Also Upset Over Dog Killings in Call of Duty

Last week, we wrote a story about a bunch of Massachusetts high school students who were bothered by the inclusion of dog killing in Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty: World at War. They were upset and confused because they thought all dogs are ‘cute and cuddly,’ which means in return, we have no right to kill the fake virtual ones. As ridiculous as it was, the folks over at PETA have now chimed in. The guys at GamePolitics received this statement from the animal lovers group:
“Not since we were pitted against Nazi attack dogs when we first escaped from Castle Wolfenstein 17 years ago have we seen such barbaric treatment of dogs in gameplay as we did in Call of Duty, World of War. To help the folks at Activision Blizzard learn about the ethical treatment of animals, we’re offering to let them take PETA’s ‘Developing Empathy for Animals’ free of charge and are sending a package of Nintendogs games to their office.â€
What’s funny, is how think Nintendogs is just a innocent dog simulator and it teaches people how to take care of a canine. Little do they know on several occasions, I’ve abused my dog in the Nintendo DS game. Not only that, I’ve neglected him for so long, I’m sure he’s sleeping in his own feces, while bugs nibble on his flesh.
