PETA have come out today and said that Pokémon: Black and White 2 promotes animal cruelty.
The statement from PETA reads:
“Much like animals in the real world, Pokémon are treated as unfeeling objects and used for such things as human entertainment and as subjects in experiments. The way that Pokémon are stuffed into pokéballs is similar to how circuses chain elephants inside railroad cars and let them out only to perform confusing and often painful tricks that were taught using sharp steel-tipped bullhooks and electric shock prods …if PETA existed in Unova, our motto would be: Pokémon are not ours to use or abuse. They exist for their own reasons. We believe that this is the message that should be sent to children.”
They’ve also created a spoof game on their website where the aim is to free all of the Pokémon, rather than catch them.
What do you think about this? Have PETA gone a little too far, or do they have a point? Let us know below!
