PETA Releases ‘Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals’ Videogame
PETA has released a downloadable videogame parody of the Cooking Mama series usually found on Nintendo game consoles. The game includes such family friendly activities as plucking feathers and removing the internal organs from a dead turkey.

Not to spoil the ending, but after preparing the whole bloody Thanksgiving dinner from slaughter to oven, Mama has a change of heart and opts for a Tofurkey instead.
“We’re having a bit of fun at Mama’s expense, but there’s nothing funny about the suffering endured by turkeys and other animals who are killed for food,” said PETA’s Joel Bartlett. “With all the delicious vegan alternatives available, there’s no need to make the carcass of a tormented bird the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving table.”
Agree or disagree with PETA’s message, you’ve got to admit that this is a well-executed campaign. Hell, the graphics and controls might even be better than the first Cooking Mama Wii. To check it out in all its gory glory, visit the game’s site.

At least we’re not wasting our animals… damn PETA overlooking the millions of rodents killed by farm equipment… and WHAT ABOUT THE PLANTS?!?!? I eat as many animals as I can because we need plants to absorb the CO2
This was so lame. Anyone who has prepared a whole chicken will not find this game offensive. I love how PETA thinks they can gross people out. Only these hipsters that eat at TacoBell after their drunk binges and have never prepared their own meals might find this game “gross”.
Gravy is usually from boiling a carcass anyways, not whatever that stupid game said, and how is stuffing supposed to be gross?
The make a hamburger patty game would probably be more gross. What lame PETA attempts at trying to influence people. ANyone who donates to PETA just got punk’d and ripped off.
I don’t what kind of target they were trying to reach with that game, but if it was gamers, they should know that most gamers don’t mind some blood… So I didn’t found it a big deal (chopping a turkey’s head off? pff, done that with human ones). Anyway, I do know that we have to kill animals if we want to eat them, so I guess the point (for me) is not to stop eating but eating them responsibly (i.e don’t eating a whole turkey every day, eat some veggie meal some days a week)!
So, let’s see. PETA, not the Tasty Animals version, does not like animal cruelty. So in protest, they make and release a videogame where the object is animal cruelty, in all its gory glory.
Judging by their other protests, say shrink wrapping models to analogize packed meat, I’d say there’s some seriously fucked up hypocrisy going on here, and no one’s calling bullshit loud enough.
I respect what PETA is trying to do, but I’m always bothered when they go after children with gore. Trying to gets kids to hate their parents is a new low.
Awesome… finally a game that celebrates violence against stupid animals. Thank you Peta, I love it.
Aww.. The bird is already dead. I wanted to kill the damn thing. Peta spoils all the fun.
I have to give them props for the production value, looks like a great game.
PETA can go f*** off
I’m all for their fight against animal abuse and such, but they continue to step over the line and try to make us feel guilty for eating meat.
They actually called it “Cooking Mama”? Ninty ought to slap them with a C&D order for that.
