PETA joins protest against World at War's attack dogs

Via Joystiq:
Following a Massachusetts high school petition protesting the treatment of dogs in Call of Duty: World at War, the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is now joining the protest as well. Upon seeing news of the protest, PETA sent publisher Activision Blizzard an invitation to take one of its "Developing Empathy for Animals" seminars for free. The organization has also sent the company a package of Nintendogs for the DS, which it deems "dog-friendly." PETA hopes the puppy sim will help influence Activision's treatment of animals in future games, with the organization's blog noting "perhaps the next Call of Duty game will have you unlock achievements for petting the dogs you encounter and going on walks or playing Frisbee with them."

Is that before or after the Nazi attack dog bites the player's hand off?

Wow... they never complained about this in the Command & Conquer Red Alert games... I have had to kill a lot of dogs...

If this article was posted April 1st, I would have thought someone was making a joke... I can't believe these people are taking a video game seriously... Should send PETA a video of animals attacking people... I hope a zoo breaks out and overruns their headquarters. Go and pet the lions, I dare you.
