PETA has condemned Assassin's Creed 4 because it contains whaling.
Ignoring the fact that it's a video game and people won't instantly condone real-world whaling because it occurs in the game, it's just what happened back then, but for some reason PETA is okay with murder, thievery and general criminality but not the death of whales. Makes total sense.
Ubisoft's response is just perfect, by the way.

I'm vagetarian and can say they are complete fools who should mostly be arrested for terrorism. And anyone with pets that sends them donations is rather moronic, they don't condone having animals. They re monsters.

I just started playing AC 1 last night. do ya think I can beat them all before black flag?
-
Cant be blind to history in a game that is based on history. PETA is made up of a bunch of liberal, wacked out, hippy, cockroach lovin, nincompoops (yes, I just used that word).
-
yeah yeah. I won't be surprised when CoD Ghosts comes out they go after that game since it has a dog and somehow the dog is getting abused. Peta is just a bunch of trolls.

People Eating Tasty Animals
-
I'm racist against whales. :-p
-
I remember seeing PETA ad of a lady in a white fur coat, some dude walks up behind her with a golf club....and I'm pretty sure can figure that one out. But, what I got from that is: PETA supports violence against women.
-
Oh yeh, but murdering virtual guys is perfectly fine. I mean, everybody who sees whaling is going to go and do that.
-
This reminds of me all the PETA talk about games like Pokémon Black and White and Super Mario 3D Land.
-
I like to eat meat on PETA bread. Heh heh, get it?
-
I dare you to walk up to one of their protest with a "I love animals because their so darn tasty!" Shirt on...
-
PETA just refuses to admit that man kind wouldn't be where it is today without the consumption other living creatures. I understand ethical treatment, and that if you are going to hunt or harvest wildlife to do it humanely.

Lol PETA. D'you guys remember the "Lobster Empathy Movement"?
-
Was there any doubt?

KENTUCKY FRIED STEAK!

[quote]Ubisoft's response is just perfect, by the way.[/quote] I agree so so so much.
-
We're whalers on the moon.
-
Oh geez, [i]shocking[/i] development from PETA. How surprising.
-
AC4 whaling is somewhat historicity correct. And doesn't PETA kill any animals that they take in to "have them adopted"? Didn't they find a dumpster filled with dead dogs and cats? They have no adoption centers and they even said they can kill animals when they want.
-
You can be as cruel and malevolent of a psychopathic killer as you want...as long as you don't lay a finger on an animal, because that'll teach kids the wrong lesson. ...makes sense.
-
I honestly can't remember if PETA was ever not a joke. They're pretty pathetic.
-
When has PETA not been stupid? They're a bunch of laughable hypocrites (WBBC could be taken more seriously...)
-
Fun Fact, PETA euthanizes a shitload of animals each year
-
sad part is that they the think that the mario tanooki suit is a form of animal abuse
