Nintendo has recently learned, if you play with the bull, you get Peta.
The people for the ethical treatment of animals (PETA) recently shared their beef with the Japanese video game company in a letter to the president of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, on their representation of the Cow of Character in Mario Kart Worldwhich was released in June on Switch 2.
The please of Peta’s marketing commitment, Joel Bartlett, wrote in part in the letter: “We herds there is a new star in Mario Kart World: Cow! She already earns hearts everywhere, including ours. But a detail makes us hit the brakes: the brass ring in the nose of the cow. Do you want to show empathy towards the beefs and remove the nose ring?
Note that in real life, the meat and dairy products industries use cow nose rings “to exploit, control and even drag animals to their death”, they detailed, “these brass rings are roughly stabbed through the sensitive septum of cows and bulls, which can cause sensitive pain and discomfort.”
“The brass ring in the nose of the cow shines on the real violence of the world and cruelty towards animals. This is why we ask you to give this beloved cattle a small but significant upgrade: to remove the nose ring and let the cow run freely – without any painful recall from the industries that deal with animals as well as machines for profit, “concluded the letter. “Each animal is someone. So leave the rings to Sonic and let the cow breathe freely! ”
On social networks, fans of the game took the letter with a grain of salt. “Hell is peta of all the organizations said to them now? The cow Moo Moo has always had a nose ring in the universe of Mario Kart, and it is not even a real animal,” wrote a person.
“I have a lot of respect for animals, but I have to ask. Has Peta has something better to do with their time than complaining about Mario Kart World Cow design? Another displayed.
In response to a title, a fan wrote with humor: “Breaking News: Mario Kart World called Peta to remove the stick from their paid to play ass!”
The letter is Peta’s last complaint against Nintendo, previously calling Animal crosspiece: New Horizons So that players fish and catch insects on a desert island, in addition to publishing their parody games “adapted to animals” Mario kills Tanooki And Black and blue Pokémon.
