Grrrr! Animal lovers bark at dog killing in Call of Duty: World at War

Posted Mar 20, 2009 at 1:28PM EST by Glenn M.

It doesn't even have to be a real dog. Apparently, killing a dog in a video game is disgusting enough. This is according to the Animal Rights Club of the Academy of Notre Dame, who is protesting the canine killing spree in Call of Duty: World at War (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, DS), saying that killing animals should not be a form of entertainment. Wow, the game nitpicking doesn't stop.

Breanna Lucci, president of her school's Animal Rights Club, was hanging out with her brother, who was playing World at War at the time. Sitting right next to her Pomeranian, named Winnie the Pooh, she saw as her brother shot and killed the hostile attack dogs in the game. "This looks horrible!" she said.

So now, Lucci and her band of animal lovers are now "petitioning to heighten disgust" for Call of Duty: World at War. I'm not even sure what a "petition to heighten disgust" is, but yeah, that's what they're after. More than a hundred of her schoolmates have already signed the petition, and she hopes to forward it to Activision of Santa Monica, Calif., a subsidiary of Paris-based Vivendi.

"Killing dogs as a form of entertainment ... over and over again. That's one of the objects of the game," says Lucci. "Parents need to know what they are buying their kids. Killing animals should not be a form of entertainment." But on the subject of her CoD-playing brother, "My brother is a sweetheart. He won't be killing dogs after playing. But some people might," she explained.

"I fear young kids playing these games and thinking it's all right to do this -- because they do it in a video game," says Danielle Morin, the club's VP. The game, by the way, already has a "Mature" rating from the ESRB.

As a dog lover, I can't stand the idea or killing dogs. I'm all for animal rights, and I wouldn't support any activity that undermines that. But c'mon, lighten up, it's a game. It's no different from killing people in games, which you find more often than canine killing sprees, I might add. If people are gonna kill dogs, it won't be because of the game, but it's because they're sickos! Ask Michael Vick.

Back to the video game violence debate again, are we? I guess there will always be people who will blame every form of media for others' shortcomings. But it all boils down to you - if you're gonna screw up, you're the one who's gonna hit the big house - not the game.

What else can I expect from some whore who names her dog "Winnie the Poo". She's obviously the type who is too afraid to see that the world isn't all flowers and sunshine happiness 24/7. It's okay to kill other human beings, but somehow a dog, that's not even real, is this supreme act of terrorism?

Get over it. Just don't watch your bro play the damn game. Winnie the mother-effing Pooh.

I hate those people that think what you see is what you`re gonna do. Plus why she talking about the dogs getting killed when there are people getting lead pumped into them all over the place.

oh pleaaase... shut the hell up, damn hoar, and stop wasting your time over a f*king game and go do something that the world would actually give a sh*t about.

Ps. (she better lay off the drugs after seeing that picture)

# lol — majorbigss 2009-03-20 16:36

i like the fact that they are complaining about the dogs rather than killing human beings in the game rofl!

# so she is telling me that... — lavino 2009-03-20 16:43

If a dog charge at me, pin me down and trying to bite off my throat... I am suppose to pat on it's back and say "Good boy.."??? In the game you don't go hunt for dog sitting at the corner peacefully shaking their tails. Each dog you kill in the game all come charging at you with one intention: bite your head off. If she will greet one like that with open arms I would love to see that!

# OOOOK — stressfactor381 2009-03-20 16:55

So its wrong to kill a dog thats attacking u but yet u can kill all the humans in the game and its ok with her? lol maybe shes into beastiality and wants them dogs to give her some good loving I mean cmon girl the game is a war game it really happened and people and animals all died and plus I would love to tell her about this dog I shot the other day in real life then it was in my yard and it was eating my dogs food so instead of buying both of them food I shot the stray dog so ***** on that stupid drama queen litlle girl I hope she gets pregnant by a animal

# To stressfactor: — sergeidragunov 2009-03-20 18:27

Why did you kill the stray dog?! you are so CRUEL!.. you act that way because your brain is in your ass!

I hope someone shoots you in the HEAD right between the eyes! Fu**ng blhowjob!

# Hmm.... — girandhistacos 2009-03-20 18:54

Actually NarooN, I need to interject. Not that I agree with that Breanna person up there, but I'd much rather see a human get killed than a dog.

This is only because most people deserve it for some reason or another... a dog does not.

Now, back to shooting the Nazi pooches in face!

# Uuuhh.... — girandhistacos 2009-03-20 18:58

I agree that he's a douchebag for killing the dog... but why did you call him fellatio?

That doesn't make much sense.

# Yeah — NarooN 2009-03-20 19:02

I mean, I don't want to see any media dedicated to the murder of animals at all. Animal cruelty isn't cool at all. What did these cute puppies and kittens do to us? Sure, they make mistakes but whatever.

But this chick here just took it too far. It's also self defense, these dogs in the game bite you once in the toe and you die!

# Sniper Mantra — HeroZero 2009-03-20 20:09

Hope you got the little bast'ad in one shot, otherwise it would be just a little cruel if you shot it and it ran off to die slowly somewhere like a culvert. For those of you who think I too am sick at least realize that after having a dog come wandering onto my property and kill my kittens that trespassing is punishable by being shot whether you are man or animal. One shot one kill thats the least I can do if I do end their miserable lives.

# ... — Musev 2009-03-20 20:32

"My brother is a sweetheart. He won't be killing dogs after playing. But some people might,""

lmao, typical brain dead animal rights idiot.

The people that are going to kill animals will do regardless they were doing it before games and will afterwards

AND the type of people that are so easily influenced by film and game art are more likely the types that are wrapped in cotten wool by the likes of this idiot animal rights prick.

# O.O — xCraftx 2009-03-20 20:49

As a punishment is she going to make her brother play Nintendogs instead of CoD? but seriously... When i play cod4 at Chernobyl (on intense) those dogs annoy the heck out of me, but that doesn't make me want to kill real dogs...

# oh my f'n god... — PS2GT 2009-03-20 21:06

today i was playing socom and i obliderated(tha t the word?) all the birds,rats and bats every map, does that mean socom is wrong too?? im pretty sure the fat emo girl from the wimp.com vids will shed another river of tears if she played socom and gta4 as in gta u have to kill 100 pigeons lmfao!!!!!!!!!! !!!! makes me wanna kill her precious dog and stuff him in her mailbox.

# girandhistacos.. — sergeidragunov 2009-03-20 21:27

nah it's nothin really...Lol doesn't make much sense. Anyway...Stressfactor, you will not go unpunished!

# a — saldude2 2009-03-20 23:30

I really hate the dogs in Cod:Waw if she would've played the game she would know

# Chill Out... Everyone! — SonnySoul 2009-03-21 04:41

Everyone needs to chill out.

Firstly, there is no objective in the game for killing the dogs. The game depicts WWII and is trying to be realistic. The dogs are only in the game because they were used in WWII. Anyone who takes the time to play the game will see there is no encouragement for killing the dogs, it's only for self defence.

Secondly, some of you guys posting on here really need to calm down. You don't even know the girl and you're calling her a whore. Grow up. If you're going to debate the issue, you need to be a bit more fact-based, and a lot less childish.

Anyway, it's clear that these people complaining haven't played the game and don't understand why the dogs are really there. You always get this with people complaining about game violence. Look at GTA, people was saying GTAIV promoted violence, but if they played the game they would have seen that the main protagonist, Niko, was not just out to kill and had a choice to let people go. If you think further back, people moaned about the game Bully, promoting bullying in schools. If you played the game, you would see that you played the role of a kid who was looking out for the weaker kids, and clashing with the bullies.

People need to do some research and get the facts before making a big scene.

P.S. Just for the record, I'm an animal lover too..!

# SonnySoouls IS F**** Smart +] — eddynightmare 2009-03-21 07:08

I Agree With Him .... Still There Is Alot Of Games That Include Animals Being Killed And Shes Dumb enough to Tell Activison If They Shut Down *Never Happend* ........ Resident Evil Has Had Alot Of Animal Killing or House Of Dead Acctualy Alot Of Horror Games Have Animal Killing and She Wants To Pick On Activison ***** MAN SCREW ANIMAL PROTESTER I Love Animals Too But Cmon animals arnt supposed to live forever and what if there too many animals like frogs there dead and at school my teacher told me that a student made a threat of killing him for disecting a forg which i thought was reaaaaaaaalllll ly stupid cmon if animal lovers think testing is wrong look at medicine for an example we test it on rats before they sale it so yea thats a reason right ok im done PSN: eddynightmare

# ... — Justingraziano 2009-03-21 07:20

I seriously cannot understand how so many people can really be this stupid. I would expect to find these type of morons in a loony bin, not out on the streets.

Not long ago they were accusing the game "Stubbs the Zombie" of promoting cannibalism! Does that not show you that these people are sick? There needs to be far better efforts put on finding these mentally challenged persons and putting them away, where they cant hurt us normal human beings.

# ... — Justingraziano 2009-03-21 07:25

Every single thing game developers make one of these retards manages to find something to complain about. I bet they would even find something to complain about in a church simulator! "Those bibles aren't big enough, they might convince children to stop reading them. This dangerous satan simulator must be banned!"

# OMG I LOVE THIS — BRAV04 2009-03-21 08:19

IDK about you guys but all i do is look for the dogs in cod 5...one time when i was little a dog jumped on me i punched that sucker in the noes...like i was saying i try stabing the dogs in the game i try giving head shots. i let try to bit me then BOOM HEADDD SHOTTTTT. man i wish her dog was in the game, get like 10 points for that fluffy little dog..

# LOL — FreePlay 2009-03-21 08:21

"Hey why does this Bible say 'Koran' on it?"

# In America... — papajag 2009-03-21 09:20

People complain about the stupidest things. RE series had a lot of animal killing but I guess it's okay because they're zombies.

Instead of looking at certain animals people should look at the world and realize that it's f****** dying and that.....................Damn this chicks got huge boobs I would do that in an instant.

# BOOOOOO — ptspyder 2009-03-21 09:50

Hey, animal rights activist, shut the f*** up!

# Huh !!!!!!!! — NEOL 2009-03-21 10:20

ARE YOU *****ING KIDDING WITH ME

killing dogs in the game is a bad thing XD rofl

WTH is she talking about c'mon if we see the things from her angel then we are killing humans in games which may make some of us think killing human is normal thing "im just quoting from her speech XD

somebody tell that ***** to get a real life

BTW she have a BIG BOOBS XD

# Wow... — lordoftheluis24 2009-03-21 10:29

What an idiot, the game already has a M rating. I love animals too, but she's just being a ***** now

# cool idea... — eggwonder 2009-03-21 12:34

If she thinks killing these vicious hounds in the game is so wrong... We should invest in a group of vicious dogs similar to in the game and sick them on her and give her a gun. It will leave her wih 2 choices... Die, or kill the cute puppies with sharp teeth showing while they're growling at her waiting to take a bite of her.

# Man... — sesa 2009-03-21 13:06

Why do you have to put religion joke in this issue?

# this makes me mad. — Dark-Show 2009-03-21 15:31

i know animal rights are their to help animals but i mean comon soon kids will try to pet a raging dog foaming at the mouth the way these people wana so their buisness. killing animals is one thing, but self defence like in CoD5 is a totaly different thing. no matter what is a pit bull it running at me, and about to jump at my neck, im gona kill it. plus as many people said its fake and also has a "M" rating, so why should they strip a game clean of this, for the kids, when the game isnt ment for kids, its like putting barney in a porno, then making all the actors were clothes, that wont happen because its not porn isnt meant for kids...but i mean comon, i know you all know where im comming from.

# The real problem here is... — Neko Kyu 2009-03-21 16:20

Shes not in the kitchen, amirite?

# rofl — grimmer190 2009-03-21 17:18

This has got to be the funniest bit of news in a while, yet it does piss me off, because those congressmen who hate video games might take advantage of such situations to gather support against video games.

People, you have to chill, games are not evil.

# heh — xXxZEROxXx 2009-03-21 17:58

Shouldn't she be more concerned about real life animal abuse, and not games depicting WWII. Also FarCry2 has you able to be running over Zebra's, gnu's, and i believe warthogs, it's not like I'm just all of a sudden gunna goto Africa and get into a Jeep, and start a runover rampage against the wildlife. Also, it didn't start in CoD: WaW. You could kill dogs in Modern warfare.

This is one of the reasons I'm like Anti-Peta.

# err — xXxZEROxXx 2009-03-21 18:04

its not call of Duty 5.

Its call of Duty: WaW

# err — xXxZEROxXx 2009-03-21 18:13

there's 200 pigeons.

And uh? which Socom we're you playing?

# *****OFF!!! — NakedFaerie 2009-03-21 22:40

Nobody has complained about Wolfenstien which came out how long ago? 10/15 years ago now....

I say Get *****ED!!!

I would like a game to just kill protesters and put all these peoples faces as the people you kill with Jack "the wanker" thompson as thier boss.

# to papajag — marich06 2009-03-22 03:31

like u my friend i was only concerned about the placement of this girls boobs...

# i agree girandhistacos.. — marich06 2009-03-22 03:37

lmao, dude, i too was lost at the end of that one, thanx for bringing that point up.

# lol — jesuschristmonkeyballs 2009-03-22 04:55

haha, beat me to it

# . — jesuschristmonkeyballs 2009-03-22 04:58

I think the whole big twist in this, is that SHE is actually the dog, no-one seems to have realized yet.

p.s if i saw her in the street i would headbutt her, then knee her brother in the head

# ... — Justingraziano 2009-03-23 05:47

Because religion is destroying the world, thats why.

# whos with me? — Rooker156 2009-03-23 05:47

i tried to facebook her, got nothing. Anyway, as far as boobs go, meh...

oh right the game, yea, it's not real, chill little lady.

(P.S. If your pic was topless i may have taken you more seriously)

I hereby decide to start my own petition, to raise disgust at the lack of topless young coeds on every video game related website i read.

Endorse below:

# here here! — Neko Kyu 2009-03-23 16:40

Tits or gtfo amirite?

# What about the ducks!? — hbk19 2009-03-31 05:37

Somebody save the ducks!

Stop playing Dunk Hunt!

That was sarcasm.

Anyway, almost EVERYBODY wanted to shoot the duck hunt dog in the face (stupid laughing dog), but NOBODY complained then. Not that I know of.
