The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has bestowed Fable 2 with Most Animal-Friendly Video Game of the year award.
I see two problems with this:
1.) So it can be animal-friendly but you hack humans to beyond recognition and that’s ok?
2.) Does PETA’s opinion on games mean anything to anyone?
I mean really, its fictional violence so it has no tangible affect on real life animals, or real life anything for that matter.
What is the audiences opinion, does PETA’s opinion matter at all?
[Ed] What I found really weird is that firstly KFC didn’t win anything and secondly one of the winners was in the category “Norfolk, Virginia’s Most Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurant” but there wasn’t a category for any other town. I wonder how much they paid to get their own category?Source: Peta Awards

Hell Peta most likely did not play the game.
You can kill fluffy bunny, even all fluffy bunnies, how can this game be animal friendly.

What about kicking random chickens? PETA must think that is okay 🙂

They obviously did not kick enough chickens, you eventually get an achievement for doing that and I’m sure that PETA wouldn’t condone that act.

Well chickens are not really animals, they are tasty meat bags.

Also, you are able to punish your dog over and over… doesn’t sound very animal friendly
