It is like they look for things to be upset over.

While killing tanuki for their fur is horrible, PETA has always been insane. They used to have protesters outside a shop that sold fur and leather products near my old workplace, and every day I had to walk by their extremely graphic, horrifying signs. As much as I am not into wearing fur, I really kind of wanted those people to be arrested by particularly taser-happy cops. That crap doesn't make anyone want to support their cause, it just makes people hate them.

Oddly, I have actually seen images of Mario in the little raccoon suit. I just figured he was a furry. But that might hit a little too close to home for PETA-types. *snerk*

I never thought about that until now - I did figure that the various animal costume powerups in the Mario series were popular among people that are into furries, but I never thought of Mario as one. Then again, there's only been seven games where Mario's used such powerups...

My issue with PETA is that they tend to be very classist and ableist. Hello, people are also important.

Mario does not support animal rights! Lol.
