PETA criticises 'Cooking Mama' games

505 Games

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has criticised Majesco Entertainment's Wii and DS series Cooking Mama for using animals in its cookery mini-games.

The campaign group has launched a dedicated website titled Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals to encourage Majesco to include more vegetarian recipes in future titles.

The site includes an unauthorised flash-based game in which players decapitate a turkey, pluck its feathers and then cut out its giblets in preparation for a meal.

PETA said in a statement: "If Mama knew what happened to animals on factory farms, she very well might want Majesco Entertainment to make a new Cooking Mama game that is much more animal-friendly."

The group welcomed the upcoming Gardening Mama title but added that "we'd love to see a more vegetarian-friendly Mama as well".
