    Point 1 I see on many responses. Most of us didn't even know there WAS a Ringling Bro. Circus game.

    Point 2 Why hasn't PETA said anything about WoW? You know you can kill bunnies in that game?

    Point 3 It won't sell anyway unless it is an awesome remake of Big Top.

    I don't own a wii, but I want 3 copies of this game. Not because it will be a good game (it looks like more shovelware) but because Peta told me not to. Of course, momentary whims like that dissipate when I realize it will cost me money. Oh well. #peta

    @Four--Eyes: Yikes. Reading comprehension, READING COMPREHENSION!

    PETA's qualm with the game isn't about the content (I seriously doubt they would allow you to beat elements with sticks in a game rated E) but the circus itself. PETA's saying when you buy the game, you support the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, a company they apparently have a problem with. #peta

    In reply to PETA Doesn't Want You To Buy The Ringling Bros. Game
    Damn. Now I'm faced with a moral quandry.

    You see, I had absolutely no intention of buying a Ringling Bros. (poor excuse for a) video game, for a multitude of obvious reasons. However, they have managed to rouse the ire of PETA, an organization that is far more worthy of detest and distrust.

    So here is my dilemma: Do I spurn and refuse to support a pathetic time waster cash grab game, the likes of which ruin the image of legitimate and meaningful gaming? Or do I defy PETA out of principle for being a terrorist cell hell bent on forcing their ass-backwards beliefs on everyone and buy it (to collect dust on a shelf in the basement).

    Decisions... #peta

    Anytime PETA gets brought up, witty members of society have to comment appropriately.

    "I'm going to call out PETA on the negative things they have done, without even imagining the positive things. I will also only bring these things up and not mention anything I do or have done to harm animals."

    What's that, you thought of clever meanings of the acronym PETA? Well aren't you just hilarious? I, nor anyone, have ever heard such funny things. The acronym YOU just explained is the exact opposite of that organization, creating a humorous event. Oh, the play on words.

    Also, we can't forget the "I'm not going to buy [product PETA protests] and buy [product equally/more cruel towards animals] instead."

    Such funny, original people most of you are.

    The treatment of Circus animals really is atrocious. It doesn't matter how you all feel about PETA. Sure they may be a bit nutty, but I still think the organization does some good. #peta

    "Oh those poor animals..."

    Sigh.

    Nothing would cause a bigger drop in animal populations than PETA actually getting their way.

    Seriously...cows would be extinct except for in India. If we aren't going to raise them for dairy and meat, what's the point in keeping them around. There aren't exactly a lot of wild cow herds that roam the grasslands in America. Chickens would largely be gone too.

    Can't have cats and dogs for pets in the PETA world...its cruel. So time to set your dog Fido free...they might survive for a time in stray packs, but eventually they'd be hunted down and wiped out too once enough kids got bit by strays.

    Zoos are cruel....so kill all the animals in the zoo cause there aren't enough sanctuaries in the world to take all those animals in.

    Horse racing would be outlawed, so millions of thoroughbreds are no longer worth the billions their owners pay for their upkeep. All to the glue factory with 'em.

    Bravo PETA, you win!! Your concern for animals rights denied millions of animals a chance to live in our cruel, little world. Bravo! #peta

    In less than a month PETA will declare themselves as a winner after they see the game didn't sell. PETA then will think people actually listen to them instead of figuring out the obvious. #peta
