Woof: Activision responds to PETA's dog-killing complaint |

Nooooo! Fido's in there!
War is hell, for attack dogs and humans alike. Just because dogs happen to be cuddlier than humans doesn't mean that they were spared the horrors of war. Activision has responded back to PETA's complaint about killing hostile attack dogs in Call of Duty: World at War (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS), saying:
In order to create believable, real-world scenes and heighten the game playing experience, Call of Duty: World at War depicts the ruthless and gritty combat of World War II.
Dogs are included in the game for authenticity since they were used extensively by German, Japanese, U.S. and Soviet troops during the war. Activision in no way endorses or condones cruelty to animals, and we donÂ’t believe the game will encourage cruelty in any way.
Cooking Mama then burst into the scene and made vegetarian dishes for everybody. And they all lived happily ever after.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about:
- "I would never put rat in my Ratatouille" - Cooking Mama responds to PETA
- Get meaner than Mama: PETA targets Cooking Mama for serving meat dishes

you just can't keep everyone happy all the time so why bother trying? "to shut them up" is usually the answer... which is a piss poor reason to do anything.
either everything is okay or nothing is...

I shot the crap out of the resident evil 5 dogs, i knife that thing to death, blow it up with a rocket launcher, if they allowed it I'd skin those poor bastards
just to piss PETA off I send them a picture of a dog impale in mid air with a stake.......MUHAHAHAHA
That'll give them a real reason to cry about

for goodness sake, I can head-shot someone in COD, I can kill someone with a syringe in Manhunt, and I can watch a child having lead poured into his eyes in Slumdog Millionaire..
...but shoot at a virtual dog and I get castigated?
This is not liberalism. It is completely the opposite, like a kind of politically correct BS fascism...
..you WILL be nice to puppies, OR ELSE!!

Your mentality is exactly the type PETA sets it's sights on - the immature, morally skewed one. In all honesty, we all know that PETA isn't aiming directly at the game, it's directed at the dolts that play the game and find humor or misguided entertainment out of shooting an animal.
Comments like yours just fuels PETA to boost their message across the media spectrum - it isn't long before some sensationalisti c local news network pegs all video games as a socialpath's playground.
As I said, if you aren't part of the solution...

Oh well, I'm sure there is another group out there actually watching out for the animals while PETA is out getting naked and lieing to children.
I know I know, anti PETA source has little credibility, but I'm lazy and it's the first one to show the milk thing.
