PETA attacks Bioware over mistreament of animals in Dragon Age: Inquisition

Video Games Made Me Do It: "The American rights organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or for those that like acronyms, PETA, is pursuing legal action against BioWare, creators of Dragon Age: Inquisition, and have the game immediately removed from shelves, due to its cruelty towards animals."

[DanielGearSolid]

Oh jeez

[Aleithian]

AHHHAHAAAAHHHHAHAAAHHHAHHAHAHA HHAHA!

PETA. Is that cult of wackjobs still a thing?

And this is why political groups shouldn't be ignored by gamers.

[rdgneoz3]

Peta should worry more about not killing every animal in their shelters than virtual animals dying...

[AliTheSnake1]

I like Pita Bread.

[NewMonday]

BioWare forgot to put a disclaimer: "no real Dragons were harmed during the making of this game"

[windblowsagain]

Shocked at those numbers below if that is a fact.

Peta seem to me more like a Government set up culling agency to wipe the cost away.

Very Strange.

[Blues Cowboy]

Real talk, rdgneoz3. PETA are hateful and even their own on-site manifesto is worrying. I'd much rather give my money to an animal charity that actually tries to, you know, SAVE animals like the RSPCA in the UK.

@ AliTheSnake1

Thank you for cheering up my day a bit. :)

[badz149]

seriously, WTactualF?!

[MRMagoo123]

The faster the world realises games aren't real life the faster this kinda crap goes away. You could make a game about killing and eating domestic dogs and not one animal is hurt in the process. Why don't all these douche go try change something important.

[Omnisonne]

On top of that, they moan about killing dragons

For real

This better be a joke though, otherwise -1 faith in humanity

[Th4Freak]

This is a click bait, you can't find any reliable source or any other news about it. It could be a satire but considering that the author of the article published it as news (in their website not N4G) and not a satire i'm labeling as a click bait.

[spicelicka]

This is a satire article guys

[N311V]

Shhh. I like reading their comments.

[700p]

LOL. Humans too? or elves..? Such cruelty

[Kidmyst]

This can't be real but then google searches turns up PETA suing Dreamworks and Nintendo. So the nut cases sure could be. One funny read though!

[mechlord]

erm...that cant be right, right?

[Snookies12]

Seriously, don't they realize they're just a joke by now? I find it hard to believe they don't know that they're just made fun of for doing stuff like this. I mean, I love animals, but these people are insane.

[BiggerBoss]

You do realize this article is satire right? At least read it before commenting

[Halo2ODST2]

Peta is still full of insane ppl

[Batnut00]

Honestly, I'm having a hard time believing this is real and not satire.

[Kingdomcome247]

Didn't anyone tell PETA that dragons aren't real? S/ No, seriously... this is pretty dumb. I've been skinning Rhinos all week in Far Cry, but I know it's just a game.

[Relientk77]

Oh well now I'm sure you kill and skin rhinos in real life now

/s

#PetaIsRetarded

[isa_scout]

I accidentally hit disagree on my IPAD but I meant to hit agree. Those Rhinos sure can take a lickin and keep on tickin to... I kept ruining the skin until I realized that you can throw down a mine then shoot at the Rhino to make it charge you and once it sets off the mine it'll die instantly without ruining the skin....lol
Having said that, I think it's time to book a trip to Africa so I can experience the real thing. Because according to PETA there isn't a difference anyway./s

[Kingdomcome247]

I know man. I don't know how a Rhino sneaks up on you, but multiple times I'll be looting a body just minding my own, and then out of nowhere I get Lawrence Taylored by a Rhino.

[Gore-Content]

PETA makes me so angry Imma kick a puppy!

[Scatpants]

I guess they havent played Far Cry 4 yet. Also i hope they realize the animals aren't real.

[mixelon]

PETA intentionally ridiculous to get people talking.

It does have the side-effect of making it impossible to take them seriously. XD

[JamieLeeC93]

PETA making their own based off dragon cults? Haha this is definitely satire..

[Bossmon]

Lmfao, anyone remember when Peta killed animals cause of the living conditions
http://m.huffpost.com/us/en...

[1nsaint]

Holy shit man. That's quite the article. Damn

[Aleithian]

Everyone should google "the truth about PETA". Quite the selection of truths out there to be found.

In general, ANYTHING that people want to support should be subjected to a jolly good googling. Amazing what you find out about groups and institutions when you step beyond your own limited practical and ideological position.

[Kingdomcome247]

Wow.

[slinky123456]

Yeah! Dragons are amazing mythical beings that don't deserve this sort of treatment... Now excuse me, I gotta go skin an elephant I just killed in Farcry 4.

[ziggurcat]

Someone needs to tell Pamela Anderson that dragons aren't real...

[vork77]

1 dragoons are fake. 2 Its a Video game in a Fictional world

[Somebody]

“Throughout the history of Dragon Age, these amazing and majestic beasts have been pushed to the edge of extinction due to bloodthirsty humans hunting them down, and destroying their nests."

I don't know what to say that...

What happens if we find a planet that is perfect for our colonization but there's a whole population of Xenomorphs there? Even Predators think they should be eradicated immediately.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

there at it again -.-

[Muzikguy]

What....the....phuck

These groups are more annoying than anything else

[quenomamen]

Upset by treatment of virtual animals, first world problem.

[Primal]

Peoples!!!

You usually need to read more than the headline alone.

S-A-T-I-R-E! That spells MOON!

[Muzikguy]

Now they're mooning us?! Yikes!!

[Primal]

Haha lol, it was a Stephen King reference from the movie the Stand.

[Muzikguy]

Shame on me for not picking it up! I love his books/movies!

[spicelicka]

Lol I'm surprised people are actually taking this seriously

[Relientk77]

...

Omg, Peta just shut up

[rivencleft]

PETA should see what I'm doing to the animals in Far Cry 4!

[yewles1]

It's satire...

"Says PETA member Julianne McManus “Sure, they may breathe fire, and eat sheep, which is gross, and, like, burn villages, but why do they do these things? I think it’s cos we try and kill them all.”"

[diesoft]

THIS is why I can't take them serious. When there's nothing to rail against they MAKE IT UP. GTFO of here with this crap.

[WeAreLegion]

Stop giving them attention.

[pandehz]

Lamb Gyro in Pita bread is super tasty.

[ghostrider32]

Skynet need to send a T-1000 to the past and obliterate PETA.

[MegaSackman]

Em... I've just read the article and no, this isn´t real.

[xActionBasturdx]

Why is this a thing. The folks over at PETA need to stop this already, its a game. End of story

[MajorGecko]

why doesn't peta go after movies leave games alone

[metalgod88]

PETA.... lol I don't see you jumping at the heels of games like Cabala's big game hunter? Or better yet, focus on real life animals rather than those portrayed in a video game? You guys are pathetic.

[BiggerBoss]

Dude. Its satire. Jesus christ.

[Overwhelming]

"Says PETA member Julianne McManus “Sure, they may breathe fire, and eat sheep, which is gross, and, like, burn villages, but why do they do these things? I think it’s cos we try and kill them all.”"

Ok, now I'm sure this is fake.

[WhyWai88]

How about people in the game!?!?! they kill people in the end! why no one stand up to fight them for human?!?!?!

[Mrgolden79]

Oh god I loathe these asinine click bait satire articles. It's like they think just because it's satire, it's an excuse to post dumb shit on gaming NEWS sites. It also reminds me of the dumb ass prank videos on YouTube that entitle people to act like asses and then yell "it's just a prank!" at the end, because they think that justifies being a prick, and then said person ends up getting knocked out by messing with the wrong person.

[assdan]

PETA kills tons of animals every day. They hate domesticated animals and kill them on site, this is not a joke. PETA is not for animal rights. PETA is an insane radical organization that should have been shut down years ago.

[CrowbaitBob]

When you see every mention on the internet about this story linking to the same website you know it's a load of BS.

If something sounds too stupid to be true, even if it's PETA related, it's always best to find multiple sources before taking the bait.

[joinsideke]

Yawn fake.

Even the quotes sound like they came from a child and not a well-established PR agent of a multi-million dollar org.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Stop giving these people exposure.
