Gamers mock PETA for bizarre vegan Animal Crossing guide NintendoPETA shocked the world by venturing into video game guides with the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and it\u2019s safe to say that the internet isn\u2019t a fan of the organization\u2019s efforts. \u2018PETA\u2019s Vegan Guide to Animal Crossing: New Horizons\u2019 reminded players that fishing isn\u2019t vegan, and if you don\u2019t fish in real life, you shouldn\u2019t do it in a game, either. \u201cSure, unlike in real life, the fish in the game don\u2019t feel pain, but fishing is harmful to animals and the planet,\u201d the guide explained. \u201cThis is your island, and it\u2019s your job to protect it.\u201d This isn\u2019t limited to fish either; according to PETA, \u201cjust as fish don\u2019t belong in tanks, insects don\u2019t belong inside cramped cases in a museum for other villagers to gawk at.\u201d The guide went on to suggest players give their island an \u201canimal-friendly name\u201d to spread animal rights, and answered the age-old question: Is Tom Nook exploiting you? Yes, really. Surely, right on schedule, the internet blasted PETA for their strange tips. I\u2019m vegan and even donate to PETA & this is too much lol\ud83d\ude02. I play call of duty but don\u2019t shoot people in real life. Fishing in a game is no different than that. Who thought of this? \u2014 Jus Kap (@jus_kap) March 24, 2020 \u201cI\u2019m vegan and even donate to PETA & this is too much,\u201d one Twitter user wrote. \u201cI play Call of Duty, but don\u2019t shoot people in real life.

My main priority during this time of international pandemic where hundreds of thousands of people are dying was the ethics of animal treatment in this fake world where no feelings exist on either side of the screen!\u201d a critic mocked.

In the game, Pikachu fights to free his fellow Pokemon from their abusive trainers. Whatever the case, it seems that PETA has officially jumped the shark \u2013 or is that somehow animal abuse, too?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
