PETA Releases Gory Video Game

PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, wants you to think twice about cooking up that turkey for Thanksgiving Day.
The organization has released a gory Flash game that parodies the popular Wii cooking game Cooking Mama by Majesco. PETA’s game, titled Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals, has cartoonish gore as the player plucks feathers and removes guts from the turkey. To top it off, Cooking Mama has been transformed from a smiling mother into a demonic, evil grinned, killer.
On its gaming merits, PETA’s version is not bad. The graphics are cartoonish, but above average when compared to other Flash games. The music is catchy and the sound effects are decent. However, this game really isn’t meant to be played repeatedly as it only contains a few scenes. The player must first pluck all the feathers from the turkey and then he/she must control a hand that reaches inside to scoop out the guts. Players are rated on speed and accuracy. After completing the game, the player has the option to view a gory (real gore this time) video of a turkey slaughterhouse.
While many gamers may laugh while playing the game, PETA is dead serious. The organization created the game to parody the original Cooking Mama game. “Majesco’s game is so heavy on dishes that are made from dead animals that the only things missing are the blood and gore,” PETA says and their reimagined game merely adds the blood and gore back in.
PETA claims that 40 million turkeys end up on our tables during the holidays and PETA spokesperson said, “There’s nothing funny about the suffering endured by turkeys and other animals who are killed for food.”
PETA is encouraging players of the real Cooking Mama game to petition Majesco for additional vegan recipes.
You can play PETA’s Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals here. The game is also available as a downloadable PC or Mac program.

My PETA membership reads, "People Eating Tasty Animals"...
Any chance of PETA getting sued by Majesco for this? The flash game making parents reluctant to buy the actual game for their kids maybe?
Why they dont stop eating then? Plants suffer too...
Maybe they should start sucking and munching earth and stones!
These organizations are soo stupid it hurts! :-X
LOL This is hilarious. Does PETA really think a video game containing violence against animals is actually going to sway people AGAINST violence against animals??
Come on. Apparently PETA has lost a few collective brain cells...
Kaotc, you beat me to it.
Plants are composed of living cells, even though it does scream, doesn't mean it doesn't feel hurt!
At the same time I can understand what they trying to say. We do kill way too many turkeys on Thanksgiving only to have most of it go to waste.
LOL Okay, so I had to go play the game. It is extremely short (maybe 30 seconds of gameplay) but it was humorous. My coworker was even laughing at it a little.
Thanks PETA, you put a smile on my face during work hours! Can't wait to eat some white meat Turkey in a couple weeks!!
Yah, I'm planning to stop eating veggies because of the poor growing condisions, some like corrots are forced to grow under ground, and because I think it is cruel to pick the fruit and leaves from living plants it must hurt them greatly
Sorry, these PETA guys bug me, about as much as the stupid Greenpeace wakos.
@ Eothayne I love the "People Eating Tasty Animals" acronym
Man, this article makes me want to eat a big juicy piece of yummy meat. I was going to have a salad for lunch, but now I'm switching to a burger.
Oh, and fuck you PETA.
I love vegetarians... they say
OOOOOOOHHHH NOOOOOOO we can't hurt animals they are alive and what not...
then they go and chow down on something else thats living... its the way of life get over it... like really...
Peta are a bunch of crackheads anyway. The bad part is, I know people that are vegetarians and Vegans, and not for the reason of the way the animals are treated. But almost 90% would tell you to kill and eat most wild animals. Or are smart enough to realize that most of the domesticated farm animals have no place in the wild.
Besides all it takes for a vegan to decide that it's ok to kill wild or food animals, is for them to have a deer or other animal jump out in front of their vehicles and cause them to get into an accident. Usually the second time it happens they finally crack and decide it's ok to kill em all.
And as long as I'm higher up on the food chain I'll continue eating animals. Cause I'm 100% positive that if there were an animal higher up, they'd go out of their way to eat me.
Of course dogs don't eat raw meat, and bears dont slaughter anything in its way.
If we didn't kill things and it them they would still die, albeit more horrifingly.
I think everyone on the earth should go emo because you just killed 4000000000000000000000000 bacteria because your body fought them off and killed them. You murderer.
It's also kinda funny because alot of these groups are evolutionists too.. (at least the ones i've seen) so how does this go with "Natural selection"? hmmm?
AND WHY IS THIS NEWS DANG IT
I know my spelling sucks. lol

Is that like a Burger King burger? Are you going Tony Stark on us?
I personally think that turkey is delicious. People are animals to, it is just how mother nature works.
“Majesco’s game is so heavy on dishes that are made from dead animals that the only things missing are the blood and gore,”
I'll make sure to ask for a McChicken chicken next time; nothing like eating an animal alive.
On a side note, if you don't suck the blood dry every time, your human won't die. Just make sure to cover up the wound and have them wear high collar sweater. It is very wasteful to kill a human just to suck their blood.

Well Whopper Wednesday is tomorrow....
I keep telling people:
If chickens (and turkeys) were as big as we are, they'd be having US for dinner.
Chickens are ruthless predators, and we MUST keep them away from all nuclear waste spills or we run the risk of suffering dire consequences when they mutate and grow!!!
Beware... beware...
Just played the game and man it makes me hungry (except for the bonus game at the end, tofu doesn't belong in thanksgiving).

NO KIDDING. Never mind if they ever get into nuclear waste spills at Umbrella Corp. Then those huge ZOMBIE turkeys will destroy life as we know it...
So do your part. Eat a turkey for Thanksgiving and help prevent genocidal flocks of zombie poultry.

I'm soy-intollerant, so I have to eat faux-fu instead... :-(
The Bible clearly states that we can eat animals. Infact in the Bible God commanded that Jews eat the sacrificial lamb at Passover. If you were a vegetarian you would have gone against God's wishes. Personally I believe PETA needs to remove such an offending game from public access and make a public apology. Everyone cries when we share our "religious" views but its ok for PETA to force theirs on us so forcefully.
GOD , these guys make me sick , me stop eatign turkey it's a f-ing bird we are talking aobut for cryign out lound, had i't had it's evolutionary way , it would be as big as ahosue an eating us .. but wait nature didnt let it go that route, and piut us on top , I DONT GIVE A SH-T IF I HURT A TURKEY"S F-ING FEEELINGS, it is going to be my dinner not my date. infact this video not only makes me not want to be nice to turkeys , it makes me want to go grap a biog ass hamburger and shop on down on soemthginhtat is even a little higehr up on the evolutionary track than some stupid bird , screw peta i'm ahivng my thanks giving turke,y so go show your propaganda to some one that cares. if we wernt eatignt eh turkeys soemthign else would be eating it any way , this is a real simpel concept perhaps you heard of it , it's called nature ,something is always eating some other living thing, i bet if we shipped a milion turkeys to a strarving country ans releif, these a--es would still baby cry "what about the dumb birds" not like turkeys are near extinction , oh adn also remeber the bible says "god maketh man to rign over all life on earth " so go f- yourself , me i'm gonna go do some "reigning" and munch on a few animals right now... i suppose you want me to pet my hamburger next time i get take out ?
I think the main point of this game (which I really enjoyed) is to get you to watch the video at the end that you never otherwise would have. I do agree that the methods employed to maintain my supply of turkey meat is inhumane and they as living creatures deserve better treatment while alive. Will I continue to eat meat? Yes, until the end of time.
I respect PETA as an organization that prevents animal cruelty. I'm not a vegetarian, in fact I'm more of a meat lover, but I do not tolerate bad treatments to animals. As long as the animals we eat are treated well and killed humanely, it's fine with me. However, this game probably won't reach the goal it aims to sensibilize people about animal cruelty. In fact, it could even make things worse since it's in the form of a game. Think Happy Tree Friends...
I think PETA forgets that vegetarians are actually quite a bit less healthy than someone who is not. A vegetarian must take vitamin supplements to stay alive, and if you haven't stayed around one, they always just look ill.
However, you cannot convince PETA. They lie and overreact to things to make the meat industry look bad. For example, look at how they used camera tricks to make it look like there's low-light conditions in the pens. A few of the birds die of heart attacks and the like, yes, but isn't that a bare statistic of everything living?
Kaotc, you beat me to it.Plants are composed of living cells, even though it does scream, doesn't mean it doesn't feel hurt!At the same time I can understand what they trying to say. We do kill way too many turkeys on Thanksgiving only to have most of it go to waste.
Which proves they don't care about suffereing. They just care about their own damn guilt. They just can't stand to see something else in pain, so rather than excepting that to live is to experience suffereing, they fight all sorts of pain for animals.
They don't care if it can't scream, or express it's pain.

PETA doesn't care about humane death of animals. They're ideal setting would be where animals and people are equal, with equal rights. Which is retarded. Our very existence causes death.
But I agree that animals should be killed in a humane manner. I don't see why we don't guillotine animals.
@Wooblenoo,
I disagree with your assertion that vegetarians are unhealthy and need to take supplements. Uneducated, lazy vegetarians are unhealthy and need supplements. While I love meat, I do know a couple of vegans that are healthier than pretty much anybody else I know. It takes more effort to be vegan, and you pretty much have to make every meal yourself, but if you actually take the time to educate yourself, learn how to cook, and find out where to get good ingredients, you can live a healthy lifestyle. Of course, most people are lazy and stupid, vegetarians are certainly no exception, so most of them are pretty unhealthy. I find they are often lethargic and get sick a lot more frequently (could be the antibiotics in the meat).
wooblenoo is more right then you give him credit for. Most vegans i know say proten is protein who cares. Well thats not true. One ingrediant in your diet is animal fat well what veggy gives that? Sure for the rest though you can get away with it if your not lazy but there are some things that are just better for you from meat. We have evolved to incorperate everything into our diet. The draw back is to be the healthiest you can be you need a little something from every aspect. And to alot of people soy is a problem
Though i dont dissagree with being a none meat eater i do dissagree your really doing your self 100% good by cutting out sources of vitamins minerals that are easyer for your body to absorb. Im not a damn Dr. so i dont know all the techincal specifics about it so whatever.
O yeah and peta can blow me.
@enforcer,
I pretty much agree with you, you can be healthy as a vegan, but its way easier to be healthy as an omnivore.
