PETA wants Zynga to reconsider adding animals to Mafia Wars
- fleitz 16y agoIf PETA's logic is correct, that doing something in a game increase the likelihood of doing it in real life, shouldn't they be far more concerned about the swelling of mafia ranks that the game should be causing?
- xenthral 16y ago"Some of the campaigns have been controversial. Newkirk was criticized in 2003 when she sent a letter to PLO-leader Yasser Arafat asking him to keep animals out of the conflict after a donkey was laden with explosives during an attack in Jerusalem." PETA isn't logical. The Bullshit! episode on them (and animal rights advocacy in general) is very good.
- anigbrowl 16y agoI doubt PETA gives two hoots about it, but yet again they win themselves some free media coverage. Whatever you think of them (me: not much) they are absolute geniuses when it comes to marketing/PR.
