PETA blog author on Sony's GoW II goat slaughter

More on the God of War II goat issue, you've already heard Sony's apologetic statement. You've heard Future Publishing's statement. Now, while the whole hoopla erupted a few days ago and has probably watered-down the online community already, it was only a matter of time before a PETA-affiliated person would speak up. That's what we've sighted today.

Sony's dead goat from the butcher's shop - Image 1

From the PETA Files online blog, we quote an excerpt from an author's reaction to the God of War promotional event (i.e. the dead-goat-and-boobies pics):

I've always sided with the video game industry against the Jack Thompsons of this world who are out to make a name for themselves by blaming gamers for all of society's problems, but when a company of Sony's stature goes out of its way to commit an act of senseless violence for a promotion, you have to start questioning whether they have any concern at all about the message they're sending to fans.

Comments to this blog post from other PETA blog readers seem to echo the author's thoughts. From an "I just don't have words for this. Sick, sick, perverted people. Will this world ever change?" comment from Judith to a "Sony has enough problems without letting the idiotic do something like this. Someone was asleep at the wheel at Sony!" remark from Kelly.

When authers start making statements in their posts

about things I've said in prior threads. :) It lets me know

they read me. Well... a blank dark square instead of

images of muppet goats and black censor bars all over

creation looks better. Maybe I should become a QJnet

auther.

Lol, it gets me laughing that one of them trys to make us

feel sorry for their punk ass PETA org. by saying "I've

always sided with the video game industry against the

Jack Thompsons", when really I find that offensive and a

low blow as if they really could identify and uses it as

leverage aginst the gaming industry. Thats a move

Jack-ASS Thompson would have used.

we are trying to keep the blog rated-PG. besides, it is pretty easy to find the uncensored pic. they are all over the internet. LOL. and there are a couple of kind souls who would actually point it out to you. case in point ^^ the guy above me.

# heh — Guest 2007-05-01 18:12

WATER!

# GOO — Guest 2007-05-01 18:26

# LOl — Guest 2007-05-01 18:33

lol at captain planet... um whats with this GOW thingo i saw the original pic and nothing seemed out of whack except for the queer looking greek guy... oh no is it revenge of the jack thompson... "chu sing shot up a school and trained on CS'... well i played halo the other night does that mean today im gonna shoot up my school?

# the only stupid person here is you — Guest 2007-05-01 18:53

Its one thing for someone who is starving in a 3rd world country to slaughter a goat because theyre actually going to eat it. Its a whole different story when they slaughter a goat just to use its dead corpse as a centerpiece for a promotional ad.

How would you feel if someone just came up and cut your throat and let you bleed to death just so you could be the front page shot on a newspaper thats trying to get publicity? Im pretty sure you would have felt like you just died for no real reason, and it would definately ruin your day.

You probably still dont get the point to the whole thing, so ill just stop wasting my breath.

# peta is over reacting — Guest 2007-05-01 19:00

the animal was already dead :/

I believe in animal rights and stuff but I also undesrstand that youc an get em to cook em

# P.eople E.ating T.astie A.nimals — Guest 2007-05-01 19:30

Let tem eat animals!!!!

# Don't be an idiot aljf — Guest 2007-05-01 19:33

Don't he an idiot. The goat came from a butcher already dead in the most humane manner ever. They used a large amount of the goat in their little production.

If you've ever eaten a hamburger in your life or thrown away a loaf of moldy bread you're a total hypocrite.

# Whaa — Guest 2007-05-01 19:33

It's not so much that they are over reacting as much as it is they are reacting late. This HAS been circling around for some time now.

However, the comment about Jackie boy does seem a bit of a low blow.

# P.E.T.A. — Guest 2007-05-01 19:34

mmmmm goat.....

N boobies!!

# Pfft. — Guest 2007-05-01 19:41

PETA can go get *****ed for all i care

# . — Guest 2007-05-01 19:52

Reminds me of the time my girlfriends sister tried to preach to me about eating meat, and how her being a vegetarian was the right thing to do, all the while strutting around in a nice pair of leather boots.

# Best hijacked comments ever... — Guest 2007-05-01 19:56

By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!

# Lol — Guest 2007-05-01 20:45

Nice... kind of contradicting. rolf

# do what now? — Guest 2007-05-01 22:19

The goat was going to die and be eaten any way, correct? who's to say someone from the party

didn't take it home and make curry goat hahaha.

it's amazing how people get their panties all

bunched up over the DUMBEST THINGS!

thats right America, keep paying attention to

this and Angelina/Brad! I love how the news

companies (not speaking of qj) spew things like

this all over to dumb us down and keep our

attention off REAL problems. Speaking of PETA

didn't the singer Pink give up her affiliations

with you? Why was that again?

# lol — Guest 2007-05-02 00:31

It's a goat

# ever thing that — Guest 2007-05-02 01:41

we can care about both. you idiot

# have no — Guest 2007-05-02 01:43

respect. you have none.

by your logic the dead people from virgiinia tech should be used as extras in movies, to fill roles of dead poeple. heyyy! they're already dead!

# people are so *****ed up — Guest 2007-05-02 01:46

poor animals. use theier dead bodies as a promotion.

f' you guys/

i hope someone used a dead human body to promote resident evil. it's ok cuase he's already dead.

what happened to respecting what you eat

# WHY IS THIS STILL NEWS WORTHY? — Guest 2007-05-02 02:06

They might as well have just been using road kill.

Get over it, peta. Everyone get over it.

I used to work on my uncle's farm and he had himself a few goats.

GOATS SUCK. They stink, they like to ram you and they taste good in Goat soup.

So this is no big deal to me.

# yeah.. — Guest 2007-05-02 02:54

..PETA are such a shady organization. It's ridiculous how glorified they are in the media. If you want to make a difference in the world, start caring MORE for HUMANS than animals. Animals can't make a difference for themselves? Wake up! Neither can over a BILLION PEOPLE on this planet! Caring for Animal Rights is great. Putting the rights of animals above the rights of fellow human beings is just sick.

# Anti Cruelity — Guest 2007-05-02 02:56

Strange how anti fox hunters never demonstrate outside these kind of places and religious events where they slit animals throats and let them bleed to death. HYPERCRITES...

# what? — Guest 2007-05-02 03:25

Goat soup?

# Yes Goat soup — Guest 2007-05-02 03:34

Tasty

hot

# LOL — Guest 2007-05-02 04:23

# LOL STUPID PETA — PatrikStar 2007-05-02 05:33

You guys know that they already won all people have been talking about is God of War and Sony's Mistake displaying an already humanely slaughtered goat for the rest of the world to see.

Well let's look at some inhumanely slaughtered goats and why not have peta go bother these people.

Below are disturbing images do not click on them I do not take responsibility for what you see.

Now i think the goat in the picture had a good time.

PETA can blow me all they do is ***** and complain sony good job invite me to the next party would ya!

# Pain En The Ass — Guest 2007-05-02 05:47

plants are living organisms too. Plants are just as alive as animals. They have defense mechanisms, they get sick, they also evolve. Some plants evolve to become meat eaters too, like venus fly trap, and the pitcher plant. Maybe we shouldn't be eating anything that didn't die of natural cause. We should just be like vultures and eat dead animals rotting on the street.

# For every animal you don't eat... — Guest 2007-05-02 08:45

I'm gonna eat three! :-P

Earth. Damn, the black guy gets no love.

# Poor Goats — Guest 2007-05-31 16:13

P.E.T.A. = People Eating Tasty Animals.
