Apparently with the new Super Mario 3D, PeTA has taken it upon themselves to poke at the Italian plumber's infamous Tanooki suit, saying that it promotes wearing fur, and that they are using this time to bring to light the very real tanuki (raccoon dog) raising for fur.
By making another flash game.
Oh lordy... Because their Cooking Mama ripoff from last year did wonders for sharing the perils of eating a turkey at Thanksgiving, I'm sure. When the nerd outrage apparently hit them, they had this to say:
"Mario fans: Relax! PETA’s game was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, a fun way to call attention to a serious issue, that raccoon dogs are skinned alive for their fur. We wish real-life tanukis could fly or swat enemies away with their tails and escape from those who profit from their skins. You can help them by never buying real fur."
Whatever, I'm still going to eat my sea kittens.
