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 1From 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.

(To those who were *looking forward* to us blotting out the entire picture this time... Sorry to disappoint you.)

You people care so much about animals but yet you can't seem to care about your kind. people are so stupid you care so much why don't you go to one of these third world country that do this things every day. all these people that support peta and those other organization are just being brain wash.

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.

» the only stupid person here is you

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.

» Don't be an idiot aljf

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.

by Blarg - 2007-05-01 18:33
» Whaa

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

» WHY IS THIS STILL NEWS WORTHY?

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.

by blub - 2007-05-02 01:54
» yeah..

..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.

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...

» Pain En The Ass

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.
