Thank you for writing this (and linking back), Rico! I wanted to be a lot more harsh but I wanted to remain objective. That protest is ridiculous. Honestly, I don’t understand where they get this crap sometimes.

Well maybe what Scott said is right, and that PETA’s tooting its own horn again.

And yep, I meant “aren’t”. Sorry for the typo.

Great point about good parenting Scott. A lot of those who attack video games seem to forget that, at some point, personal responsibility also plays a part.

“…These dogs are cute and innocent things lined up for your minigun. They are attack dogs out for your blood.”

I assume you meant “aren’t” . Though a poodle-minigun game might be fun for a minute or two…

Also, it’s funny that they’re attacking this game for having dogs that must be killed when they didn’t noticed it in the previous release… there were dogs to be killed in cod4:mw as well. Heck, I think the original wolfenstein game had dogs in it, too.

I can agree with you to an extent on the GTA subject. The problem is mainly that parents should not let their kids be introduced to some of the content of these games at young ages and when they do let them play them, they need to explain to them that they can not emulate what they see in games and teach them that violence has grand consequences and I don’t think parents are doing that enough. People like to find scapegoats for the lack of better excuses but I wouldn’t blame movie or game violence for the shortcomings of good leadership through parenthood.

As far as Peta goes, they have obviously run out of things to bitch about. Have they played the Cabela’s Big Game hunt lately? I hated the dogs in Call Of Duty 4 and it’s not like you were just picking them off for Sh*ts and giggles, they were attacking. In real life if a dog was attacking me and I had a gun in my hand, I would put him down before he had a chance. I say lets unleash some attack dogs on Peta and see how they react. Maybe then they will understand the concept of self defense.
