Get meaner than Mama: PETA targets Cooking Mama for serving meat dishes
Why Mama?!? This is what’s on the mind of many fans of Cooking Mama (DS and Wii) as they find that the adorable cookin’-loving Mama has become the unwitting recipient of animal rights group PETA‘s rage. Why? Cos she serves dishes with meat.
Not content with the success they had over Sega‘s pullout of a Samba de Amigo ad with a chimpanzee as a cast member, animal rights group PETA has now set their eyes on Nintendo’s Cooking Mama (DS and Wii).
Yes, the domestic food-loving mama has found herself to be the new target of PETA as she allegedly serves dishes made from dead animals. Explains the org,
Why is PETA picking on poor Mama? Because the games are so heavy on dishes made from dead animals that the only things missing are the blood and the slaughterhouse. So in the name of accuracy and honesty, PETA decided to introduce a little of both…
We wish that all cooking games would allow to prepare more vegetarian dishes instead of just slicing up animal flesh over and over – so on our site we encourage players to contact Majesco to ask for an all vegetarian-recipe Cooking Mama game.
They’ve even thrown in their own version of Cooking Mama in flash, complete with the subtitle: “Mama Kills Animals” for good measure. It’s got several stages, too, from plucking the turkey feathers to removing its internal organs under time pressure and a shrewd-looking Mama’s gaze all the way to stuffing it and taking off the head. Speaking of which, you think Majesco Entertainment will succumb to the pressure and come out with an all-vegan Cooking Mama edition?
If you think you’ve got the stomach for it, you can check out their game via the source link below, leading to PETA’s Cooking Mama site.
Looks like the Iron Chef shows (Japan and US) are gonna be in trouble next. Cos you know, they have meat for their secret ingredients.
