Today, PETA released a new video, decrying the aquariums in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In the video, a group of villagers protests the museum in the Nintendo Switch game, since it encourages players to take fish out of their natural habitats. Of course, Animal Crossing players are having none of it, and have pointed out the fact that one of the PETA users clearly had fished in their own game, since the tanks are empty when the game is first started. PETA has been known for taking issue with elements in video games in the past, and this is actually the second time that the organization has done a video about Animal Crossing: New Horizons in the last two months.

Video games have allowed players to do far worse…
Leave Animal Crossing alone you sick freaks it’s literally a video game

…take GTA, for example.
PETA protesting for animal rights in Animal Crossing makes as much sense as someone getting arrested for killing someone in GTA.

It’s kind of baffling, to be honest.
there are fish in their tanks
โ zoginguโด๏ธ (@zogingu) May 20, 2020
that means someone on the PETA crew was fishing in their animal crossing game
despite their article saying not to
They need to put more effort in.

Poor Blathers deserves better.
Call me a bad vegan but I swear PETA are actually an anti-vegan organisation. Nothing makes vegans look more like arseholes than telling people they canโt play Animal Crossing #LeaveBlathersAlone

The secret origin of Donkey Kong has been revealed!
Finally, PETA took on the root of all animal rights issues – Animal Crossing!

From now on, no more lab monkeys will be killed in a secret Nintendo facility. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons
It certainly doesn’t seem to be winning them any fans.
Is this meant to be a statement against Animal Crossing,, or just a ridiculous method of protest in general? Either way, it looks so hilariously petty that it just looks like “PETA YELLS AT CLOUD”. How is this meant to be taken even remotely seriously?
