Not content to let sleeping or dying animals lie, PETA is at it again with the flash games and instead of speaking out on the evils of the evil KFC, this time, it is against the fur industry - especially the high end clothing line at Burberry.
In this poorly executed (pun intended) flash game titled The Fur Fighters, you are either a rabbit, a fox or a raccoon who must set animals free from their cages, walk into the Burberry fur showroom and spray paint all the fur coats, or walk across the runway shoving signs in the models faces. You must accomplish all of this without being picked up by security or Angela Ahrendts the CEO of Burburry who is compared to Cruella DaVille and is depicted as a fat, squatty, loathsome creature (which she is far from) hellbent on butchering you and turning your glorious fur into a hat. Your character is slow as Christmas, you can get stuck in the oddest of places, and the whole thing reeks of bargain basement game design.
*SIGH*
While I personally do not condone killing an animal just for its fur - because I think it is wasteful - if someone decided to eat a rabbit, raccoon, cow, or any other edible animal why not put that unused fur to good use? Granted, Lynx, fox, minx, beaver, bear, baby Harp Seals, etc are not eaten by most people (Ted Nugent excluded) and you should not kill these creatures just for the sake of fashion - unless of course you are Inuit which by all means kill them to eat and stay warm. This sort of hyperbole that PETA spouts forth from their forked tongue is not only reprehensible it is also terroristic and the pot calling the kettle black. PETA collects millions in donations by pretending to advocate for the welfare of animals, the group has killed 17,400 pets since 1998. Some animals are killed at PETA headquarters and stored in a giant walk-in freezer.Others are killed in roving death vans and tossed into dumpsters. In fact, less than three percent of the animals handed over to People for the “Ethical” Treatment of Animals actually survive. That is 97 % “murder” rate - they are nothing more than terrorists who use shock tactics to brainwash people into thinking they are a benign conservation group.
In this new little flash game, they say that models are too dumb to know better than to wear fur on the runway. So, all these models who have appeared in their adverts naked are all dumb and do not know better - yet they use them to get their message across. The women in the game, coming out of the Burberry store, are depicted are horrid looking fat creatures worthy of ire and disgust - they even go so far to say that the only women who wear fur are ugly. Yeah, right.
I am all for freedom of speech, and you can protest to your heart’s content on anything and everything under the sun if you like, but keep your damn propaganda out of the gaming world. Gaming is suppose to be a form of entertainment and escapism, not a tool for terrorists to get their inane and contradictory messages across.
Personally, I think that Acclaim and Bizarre Creations should sue PETA for creating a game with a title so close to their Dreamcast game, which unlike this one is awesome.

Someone from Bizarre Creations needs to sue PETA for trademark infringement for using the name "Fur Fighters" for this piece of trash masquerading as a game. The real Fur Fighters video game for the PC and Dreamcast was a decent third-person cartoon shooter.

I can't believe you said this: "the group has killed 17,400 pets since 1998. Some animals are killed at PETA headquarters and stored in a giant walk-in freezer. Others are killed in roving death vans and tossed into dumpsters. In fact, less than three percent of the animals handed over to People for the “Ethical” Treatment of Animals actually survive. That is 97 % “murder” rate…"
You're just parroting (word for word) the propaganda on the Petakills website. Petakills is an industry front group funded by the animal abuse industries, meat, dairy, and gun lobbyists.
Did you think to check any of these factoids before spreading them around? Did you ever think to find out what is really going on? Of course PETA kills animals. That's not their fault. That's the fault of the abuser who reduce animals to a stage where euthanasia is needed.
PETA is not an anaimsl shelter, it is an animal advocacy group. That's what people send money to PETA for. Other organizations run the shelters. The animals that end up in PETA's care are usually the ones that cannot be placed in shelters. Any decent person would euthanize them. And in addition PETA offers euthanization help to smaller shelters that don't have the facilities to do it humanely themselves. But of course the front groups don't tell you that. They pretend that PETA is going around slaughtering animals that could easily be saved.
