Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
You have a point, but still you have to consider the fact that PETA basically takes in a lot of animals to their shelters, then kills an average of 85% of them. They arent trying to find good homes, they arent trying to care for them, they are basically wiping out as many pets as they can get their hands on, and not just because some are suffering from incurable ailments. There are even attempts to get the peta "shelters" renamed to slaughterhouses, because thats what they really are. Its a place where animals go to die. Calling them animal shelters is pretty much a direct lie as they arent going there to be sheltered, cared for, or to find a home, they are going there to be killed "humanely". Thats not even going into the scandals that have erupted of things like peta employees dropping animal carcasses off by the dozens in nearby shopping lot dumpsters. Whats the matter guys? Run out of places to legitimately store the bodies of all the pets you have killed?

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
Mario goes through, on average, 8 worlds of gameplay killing turtles, anthropomorphic mushrooms, moles, and an assortment of other reptiles and they call him out on the tanuki suit? It's not even an actual pelt, it's a magical manifestation that draws from the tanuki of folk-lore rather than having anything to do with the actual animal. Thats why you get it from a golden leaf and can turn into a statue.

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
And therein lies the problem (or at least, the biggest one) I have with PETA's stance - eating other creatures is part of the natural order of things, and helps keep the balance of the world. Humans are not above that order, as much as we would like to think we are.
Also, they're very kingdomist. When I used the word "creatures" above, I don't just mean animals. I mean anything that's alive, including plants, fungi, and microorganisms. What makes animal life so special? Why are we any better than the other organisms that share our world? I would argue that we're not, and assuming we are is just discrimination based on the fact that other animals are more similar to us than the trees and grass and bacteria.
Or maybe that's just me. It's probably just me."It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale." --Iroh

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
Last time I checked: cats were obligate carnivores, which means that they must eat meat.
But it is apparently possible to synthesise the missingchemicalsvitamins.π = 4
Consider a 5' radius blast: this affects 4 squares which have a circumference of 40' — Actually it's worse than that.

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
Thing is... even if it is possible to feed cats on plant filler and vitamin pills... why do such a terribly unnatural thing? I thought they were all for the natural order and whatnot?

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
I'm in agreement. A cat requires meat to live, but it is possible to replace that with a synthetic supplement.
But why? That's not exactly respecting the cat's wishes.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
I lost all respect for PETA when they openly rejoiced at Steve Irwin's death. I mean, c'mon; Steve did more to help animals than PETA ever did, and he didn't just limit himself to cute, cuddly mammals and birds.

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
Not that there's anything wrong with that, right? (Just as long as that's what the person wishes to happen to their body.)
Golden leaf? I have no idea where you're getting that. The Tanooki Suit comes from a little Tanooki Suit icon, just like the Hammer Bros & Frog Suits come from icons that look like their suits. Leaves give you the Raccoon Suit and come in green & brown, depending on the level.Avatar by me.

I know it's not what they meant, but on the subject of "meatless meals, this made me laugh:

That's just one paragraph. I'd read the rest, but my head is already bleeding from the number of times I've banged it on the desk, and I worry if I read the article any further I'll lose enough brain cells to start agreeing with it.Last edited by Aedilred; 2012-10-09 at 01:20 PM.

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
While it's 'just' a kid show/game/card game/ media empire, I think PETA may have a point here.
A world where kids capture semi-sentient creatures to fight there battles for them is pretty messed up if you think about it, especially when you consider that, canonically ,there is basically no other source of meat, yet meat is seen eaten.

Re: PETA releases statement opposing Pokemon
Any kids' show is messed up, if you really start hitting the moral panic button.
My Little Pony has an entire kingdom so estranged from the natural cycle of things they freak out because things grow on their own in the Evergreen Forest. Oh the horror!
Or how about enslaving AND eating sentient beings in the Flintstones? "Meh, it's a living", goes your steak.
