PETA Cries... Again: PETA Bashing Nintendo For Super Mario Wearing Fur

PETA is making another complaint to someone who they claim is sending the message that it's okay to wear fur. This someone is Super Mario. Apparently Nintendo has released a game called Super Mario 3D Land, where Super Mario can power up and change costumes into a Tanooki suit. PETA is making sure everyone knows that a Tanooki suit is no joke. In fact, they made a whole website called Mario Kills Tanooki where anyone can play a game as a Tanuki chasing Mario to get his skin back. On the website, there is some text that reads, "Tanooki may be just a 'suit' in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By wearing Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it's OK to wear fur." Listen up, PETA. Tanuki fur may be a real thing to wear to the opera on the weekends, but Super Mario is not a real fucking person. If anything, you're sending the wrong messages because everyone knows a Tanuki can't fucking run if it's been skinned alive.
