Why PETA is Protesting in Animal Crossing

  • PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, have a bone to pick with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Specifically, the activism group seems to really, really hate Blathers and his carefully curated museum?
    The reason? Because the museum has an aquarium and a vivarium. According to PETA, catching (digital, pretend) fish and insects, then putting them in (digital, pretend) cages is cruel and simply not vegan. Blathers is cancelled.
    (This despite the fact that Blathers doesn't actually WANT a bunch of creepy crawly insects in his museum, but puts them there to tolerate the player...)
    This is far from the first time PETA has picked a fight with Nintendo. The animal rights group can't seem to stop harassing the company for making games featuring animals.
    Pokemon Black and Blue, the parody flash game, kind of makes sense. After all, we've never really bought Professor Oak's repeated claims that no, seriously, Pokemon LOVE battling each other.
    Less logical is the claim that Mario's tanooki suit is made of real tanuki fur. Is it? Really? Honestly, if you're going to go after Mario, he's perpetrated far worse crimes against animals in his long history.
    It almost seems as if PETA's motivation isn't actually an attempt to stand up for oppressed animals. It ALMOST seems like their goal, instead, is to get as much attention as possible by doing weird stuff.
    If this is the case, congratulations PETA, mission accomplished.
    For the record, this video was written by Kotor, who tries to eat vegan whenever possible, but isn't strict about it because he hates seeing food go to waste. He agrees with some of PETA's efforts to stop animal cruelty, but with issues like this, he just doesn't understand what they're hoping to accomplish.
    Anyway, hope you're having a good day and staying safe. Next week: Xenoblade Chronicles!
    Lots of love,
    BretonStripes ( / bretonstriped ) and Kotor ( / kotorcomics )

    “Not vegan friendly”
    *Literally the only thing you can eat is fruit
    *Option to release things after catching them
    *Blathers doesn’t kill the fish and puts them in the aquarium and specifically says he’ll take care of them every time, even the bugs

      Don’t forget at 0:22 They claim their “tiny” tanks when in reality their huge tanks like I’m talking as big as the ones in a real aquarium plus the bug in the museum are allowed to roam free even though the keeper of the museum is terrified of them and they could in theory escape at anytime!

I haven't even payed off my house and he's over here getting fossils that are worth millions of dollars for free. I don't expect a million bells from him but at least 5,000 bells would be nice. And even when you sell the fossils to nooks cranny you only get 100 bells🤨.

  • @Dreamy_Requiem
    @Dreamy_Requiem 4 роки тому +784

    honestly, they're just doing it for attention, like how they'll cover their people in fake blood and then have them lay down in together in the middle of a city as a ''''protest'''when in reality they're just traumatizing children. also, case in point in the video: the mario and pokemon ''''parodies'''' that're generally very sickening and also have a VERY bad faith take on those games.
    they make claims such as ''''domestication hurts animals'''' (which is their reasoning for why they kill all the animals that go to their shelters--even as far as stealing animals from families. there's a notable case where a nine year old's pet dog was stolen by PETA and then put down immediately after arriving at the shelter. also, their shelters are so bad that some states have considering labeling them slaughterhouses instead of shelters.) and such. also the idea that domestication hurts animals and that all domesticated animals should be put down is, uh, bad.
    especially as there's a scientific theory going around that humans domesticated themselves. meaning, to PETA's values, humans should probably die too.
    furthermore, they don't actually do that much fro conservation efforts. DISNEY does more through donations at Animal Kingdom, last I checked, than PETA does.
    PETA may have started as an actual animal rights group, but these days they're more like a creepy cult than an actual organization that works for the betterment of animal rights.

      since peeps are liking this comment (which means it might be popular soon), i just want to say that this comment is a joke and that i’m not trying to send hate to peta. trying to save animals is a great thing to want to do, even if their tactics of trying to do so are...questionable and maybe not actually helping animals that much. animal crossing is just a game, so i feel like people should be able to have almost complete freedom in-game, even if those things aren’t considered vegan in real life. so, if any peta supporters or members read this, then please don’t take this comment seriously. but i do have one suggestion. if you want to try to oppose things like fishing and catching insects, then i’d recommend going for a real-life example approach rather than taking on an internationally beloved game series. i feel like that would get less backlash than just basically trying to dictate how people should play a virtual video game. once again, no hate intended.
      also, might be worth noting that “GO VEGAN, EMPTY THE MUSEUM AND FREE THE ANIMALS” is not the worst behavior possible (and certainly not the worst message possible) regarding the modern-day, post-new horizons animal crossing community. if you want to play the game like that, then go ahead, i’m not intentionally trying to stop you from doing so. everyone’s preferred playing style is unique, so if you want to play the game in an entirely vegan way, go for it!

      I mean, I think they went a bit far with this (and many things they do), being a video game and all. But like, if a human was storing animals in tiny cages, then getting mad at the human is helping more animals (of course only if they actually are going to change anything). I guess it's a case of the lesser of two evils.
      But I do agree some of their ideas are kinda hypocritical.

    If you'd like my two cents, my guess is this: they don't have to do anything to protest within virtual spaces, aside entering them. If they actually target companies and real-world organizations, then PETA would have to deal with various laws and lawsuits each time they went to court against one company or another. Obviously, they have neither the time nor energy nor money to do that, because all of theirs is going to making another protest that they can use to vaguely "highlight cruel practices toward animals (in other companies, never mind our own)" - without actually naming who and what, specifically. Not to mention they'd likely lose a court battle if they actually had one.

    Yeah, well, owls eat rats, frogs, and other small furry creatures. What's your point?
    Not to mention, I've been on an island with a lion named Elvis for a few weeks, and he hasn't eaten anyone else yet.

    Imagine Nintendo taking the game out and “getting rid of catching fish and bugs”
    *WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO EARN MONEY!?!*
    Well you would probably ask “just sell fruit” well eventually you will run out of fruit and have nothing to do to earn money.
    and the game would be *extremely* boring.
