Oh indeed. I remember thinking 'why do I have to make them kill other Pokemon?' when I was playing the game for the first time. Then I realized what an evil I was commiting on other Pokemon who had not spent their whole life with me. So I abandoned all except my starter Empoleon (Diamond and Pearl) and my first catch, one of those bird things. Then I bred them to create an army of penguins with which I conquered the continent.

Fun fact: Unova is supposed to be America in the same way the other regions are japan. WHich means Lt. Surge is from there. Fuck yeah, Lt. Surge, killing people with magnemites.

But it's not every pet owner.
Well, in this case it is, but it's because this is a society where there is a large portion of society whose career revolves around getting animals and having them fight to the (almost) death. Plus it's funny.

This. Plus, you know, hyperbole, satire, all that.

magnemites: how do they fucking work?

By eating the souls of orphans.

I personally made a living selling Hordes of pretrained Metagross, all equipped with attacks like Hyperbeam, and Meteor mash.

So everyone. It turns out PETA isn't so bad. They have a game about clicking breasts on that site.

Weakmindedness, thy name is man.

[penguinofhonor]

PETA is almost as skilled as WBC at advertising at this point.

[Oliolli]

he has a theory that the earth was once ruled by penguins, before being beaten back by polar bears. the ice age ended, and the polar bears retreated to the arctic, then humans took over from there.
the penguins are biding their time.

their first emergence appears to have been on these forums.

That explains the penguin army at the Bay 12 Member map...

I don't see why you guys are all (mostly) dissing PETA.
Admittedly I don't know all that much about them, but here they are raising their point in such a way as to make it relevant to people who usually wouldn't think twice about such things. The very fact that we've devoted several pages to it here means they must be doing something right. Imagine how it will affect some average Joe in his pickup truck with a shedful of poorly-treated dogs back at his house. Who knows, it might actually inspire thought!

...And besides that it was kinda funny. Win-win, right?

Most of the time we hear about them, they've been either incredibly hypocritical, posting frivolous lawsuits, or someone has said something that's getting them knee-deep. PETA, if they had any more power or gained access to weapons, would be an extremist group. That's just the kind of mindset they have.

They're like a real life Liberal Crime Squad.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Except the Liberal Crime Squad don't run animal shelters where animals are put to sleep the same day they're brought it. While at the same time smearing other animal shelters for not doing so.

[Yoink]

I see nothing wrong with using violence to liberate abused creatures. Euthanising healthy animals due to space shortages is very, very bad however. I've never known a lot about PETA, but I have heard plenty of bad things about them before.

[RedKing]

What MZ said. Here in NC, there was a rather infamous case where two members of a PETA chapter were taking animals from a rescue group (not "the pound") and then gassing them in the back of their van. These weren't animals doomed to euthanasia, they were animals liable to end up in good, caring homes.

When caught, their justification was that any animal would be better off dead than suffering the "indignity" of servitude and captivity. Admittedly, their local PETA chapter disavowed these two, but they'd have been idiots not to, considering that they had death threats against them almost immediately.

*headdesk*

Jeez. I don't know if the rest of PETA is anything like that, but I don't exactly hear any good things about them.
