Wait until the users learn how to leave trails of digital blood all over Minecraft landscapes.

Peta felt you were not paying enough attention to them lately. So they decided to announce a minecraft server so that you would talk about them.

It looks like it worked!

How is this newsworthy? To be honest, I figured a organization like PETA would already have one.

In August 2011, it was announced that PETA will be launching a soft pornography website in the .xxx domain. PETA spokesperson Lindsay Rajt told the Huffington Post, “We try to use absolutely every outlet to stick up for animals,” adding that “We are careful about what we do and wouldn’t use nudity or some of our flashier tactics if we didn't know they worked.” PETA also used nudity in its "Veggie Love" ad which it prepared for the Super Bowl only to have it banned by the network. PETA's work has drawn the ire of some feminists who argue that the organization sacrifices women's rights to press its agenda. Lindsay Beyerstein criticized PETA saying “They're the ones drawing disturbing analogies between pornography, misogyny and animal cruelty."

It's PETA. They'll do anything for attention, which is exactly why many vegetarians like myself despise them.

It's clickbait. Sends you to a site where they display videos with garish material.

Because it gets people talking about them and giving them attention. Basically, they're professional trolls.


With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that *you* don't fully understand, either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So, we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anybody who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.
So why steal them?
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

This is the most accurate description of PETA on earth

Well, PETA is apparently creating a Minecraft server to combat the abuse of animals in Minecraft. So no more killing sheep, cows, pigs or the newer animals now there. Personally, I don't understand why PETA has to be so weird and pretty extreme. The premise of the organization should be something we all agree with, which is the ethical treatment of animals. I am pretty sure most people believe in this from vegetarians to the most rabid meat eaters. So it just looks like the latest outreach of weirdness by PETA.


that server is going to be a fucking war zone because:
1. hackers
2.they might have no plugins that don't let people spawn in cow,pig,sheep or chicken spawners (i mean they can't be THAT serious ) so they can make traps
3.you don't even fucking know the amount of hack engines out there that can destroy the *Maybe* non-existent fire wall or hack detection peta has.
4.bread is gonna be diamonds

It's pretty ridiculous. PETA is a attention demanding, hypocritical mess that gives vegetarians like myself a bad name.

I'm very passionate about stopping cruelty to animals and the like, but this makes very little sense :p Not the best way to get people to take you seriously, PETA. I suppose crafting a bed would not be seen as cruel, since sheep do not have to billed to gain wool, but I'm sure people playing Minecraft like myself aren't going to become cruel monsters simply because we occasionally "kill" a pixelated animal :lol2:
