Peta Is NOT worse than Westboro, although they are incredibly annoying. And stupid. Just like Westboro. Boy, I sure hope these two groups never join forces.

Pardon me while I brush the dirt from my turtle-waxed shoes on my timberwolf skin rug, take off my leather jacket and put down my chicken nuggets I just got from macdonalds that I drove using my diesel fueled truck which hit a raccoon on the way to with. Now that thats over with maybe I should explain what I think about PETA. Read my previous statement and you'll see how much I embrace their ideals.
I'm sure glad they spent money donated to them for saving animals on making a promotional Flash game! Hypocrites.
The only reason they pick on this, instead of anything that makes sense like Skyrim or Red Dead Redemption (both have animal skinning, I didn't see PETA pipe up in the slightest), is because it gets them attention. It gets the web hits. It gets them media coverage on websites just like this one. They're clever, in this regard, I guess. But they're also backstabbing their very cause. Wankers.

Ughh. I'm really not surprised at this point. I've been pretty disgusted with PETA for a while now.
But who will protect all those poor mythical Japanese animals being slaughtered to make Mario's suits?
Why does this make me wanna play the game so much more. PETER, erg, I mean PETA is just a bunch of assholes with nothing better to do.
Screw PETA, they're incredibly hypocrites and do more harm to their cause than good! Not to mention, why react NOW when the Tanooki suit has been known about for years and was reintroduced earlier this summer?
BTW, the image of Grey Carter's avatar fits PERFECTLY with how I feel about this.

PETA is just undermining it's own efforts. It's making a huge deal of things that really aren't a big deal, with no actual malice behind them. Anybody remember what happened with PETA and the Colbert Report when they put on those free shows for those Iraq war vets? The nearly had a frickin' heart attack just because they were giving them hot dogs instead of veggie dogs, or whatever. At this point, they're just picking fights where there are none to be had, and for stupid reasons. And people wonder why no one takes PETA seriously anymore.
im against animal cruelty but these guys are simply idiots. do i have to refer to this again?

I haven't seen this many media whores since Charlie Sheen's Tiger Blood video. PETA is doing everything they can to stay in the headlines, aren't they? At this point it's not even about making convincing arguments or profound stances, they're just taking the name of any popular game or series that has a commercial out and construing them for anything that could even resemble a form of animal cruelty. It's just like that Kevin McCullough article about Mass Effect when Fox News was trying to stir up sentiment about what could laughably called a "sex scene".
I'm actually not sure how I feel about this.
On one hand, I do believe in consumers moving away from fur products, but on the other hand this is a pretty tasteless way to handle the issue.
On one hand, the Tanooki suit comparison is ridiculous, but on the other hand, they aren't actually attacking Mario. They're using the suit as a parallel to real life fur products and using his popularity to spread their message.
On one hand, the game is pretty mediocre, but on the other hand, it amused me for a good 15 minutes which is worth something.
Overall, I give this a 5/10.
