PETA is Campaigning for a kinder gentler Thanksgiving with a flash game based on the Cooking Mama series; Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals. This amusing little flash game is meant to gross you out and put you off your feed, but it’s actually a lot of fun for those with a darker sense of humor. It provides a decent challenge along with haranguing you for trying to be a saint if you don’t score high enough. Somehow I never had heard that abstinence from meat was a requirement for sainthood, but it has been a long time since catechism.
My mother-in-law grew up on a working farm where she had to prepare real turkeys for the dinner table. According to her, PETA got a few details wrong. After you actually catch the bird, wring it’s neck, chop off it’s head and hang it to drain; the blood runs out of the carcass so there’s actually none involved when you finally get to plucking the thing.
It’s very hard for me to take away a lesson from this game considering PETA euthanizes most of the animals it “rescues.” Apparently it’s alright to kill animals as long as you’re not going to eat them.
Tear into Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals and enjoy your Thanksgiving turkey U.S. carnivores.

you gotta hand it to PETA, they at least have a flair for the dramatic.
PETA are scum, and I hope they get their asses sued for copyright infringement with this shit.
I used to support the organization but these days they’re just publicity whores, and the euthanasia part of this story is 100% correct.
PETA are hypocritical scum.
