PETA Steps Into the Call of Duty Dog Killing Fracas

By Joe Haygood | March 23, 2009

Well, we discussed the Massachusetts High School that had some students complaining about the dog killing that occurs in the Call of Duty games in the last podcast (coming soon, as we have some issues we are working out).  All of us talked about it a bit, but in the end, we all seemed to agree that it was a few high school students, and that the dogs were portrayed historically accurate for the most part.

Of course, due to this story involving animals, and having gained a bit of steam from the media outlets, PETA has stepped onboard the banning dog killing in Call of Duty, or any other game for that matter.  Funny thing is that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been out since November 2007 and no one has ever complained about the dog killing in that game ever.  Suddenly, someone noticed it in Call of Duty: World at War, where dogs were used by Axis powers to attack and kill Allied soldiers, and went ballistic.  Why did you wait until now PETA?  Where were you when I was performing wholesale slaughter of dogs back in 2007.  Just hearing about this new twist makes me want to load up CoD4 and get my dog killing on.  PETA, isn’t there a Cooking Mama game somewhere you need to ban?
