    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

    To hell with that, I pre-ordered the game solely on the premise that there would be an elephant-abuse minigame. #peta

    Who knows? Maybe PeTA is trying to save us from another crappy shovelware title!

    Think about it, they're actually doing something cooperative for once!

    But at least we know they ain't sadomasochists! #peta

    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

    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

    @ThisCharmingMan: plenty of good indeed....killing animals in their protection....comparing the slaughter of beef cattle for food to the Holocaust. Your definition of good must be strange, did you like Superman 64? #peta

    @LordTobert: Your intake of propaganda must be healthy indeed. Peta does not kill animals. I should have known I'd be burned at the stake for saying ANYTHING positive about Peta on this website. God forbid I sympathize with the horrific treatment of circus animals. What on earth was I thinking. #peta

    We should change What PETA for from People for Ethical Treatment of Animals to People Eat The Animals.

    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

    Well crap, PETA doesn't want me to buy something? That's the best reason to immediately go out and buy it!

    I haven't even heard of this game, but if picking it up will piss off that bunch of criminal idiots, it'll be the best video game purchase I make this year. #peta

    So...they should slap a "no animals were harmed in the making of this game" sticker on it? Come on, PETA, the nonsense with Cooking Mama was just weird. Then again, it's PETA, we should be happy the developers haven't had their homes burned down. #peta

    Now I'll buy it on release and demand it to be wrapped as a gift in real leather with fur ribbons on each side. After that I'll have a triple Whopper with cheese and chicken wings as side dish.

    Peta even hands out footage to Uwe Boll for use in his movies. I resent them for ruining his movies. Yes, you heard me, I blame PETA for Boll movies. #peta
