PETA event: Seals got clubbed, pigs got eaten

by Mike Schramm Apr 13th 2009 at 5:00PM

On the podcast last Saturday, our friend NinthBatter (maker of the WI Song's machinima) gave us an on-scene report from the PETA event that took place earlier in the day. As you might expect, it was chaos -- while PETA's plan was to roll Alliance and attack a few Horde bad guys, lots of folks rolled Horde instead, and started up a guild called the "Seal Cub Clubbing Club." Many, many seals died, as you can see in the few pictures below.

And perhaps most hilariously, people brought plenty of Great Feasts to lay out for the crowd, which means that right in all of the (supposedly) animal-saving action, there was plenty of roast pig to eat. Not exactly the best day for PETA, but what did they expect? They did, however, get quite a few media mentions, so it was probably mission accomplished over there anyway.

Did you go to the event? If you've got more pictures of what happened, or even some video of what went down, let us know and we'll add them to the gallery below.

I was in this with TastyMurder and SpankNBank not to mention the rest of you awesome guys. Most fun I've had in a LONG time. We'll have to keep in touch and crash other parties eh?

I started unabashedly laughing out loud in the office when I read that and saw the pictures.

Bravo to the Whisperwind hordies who played along.

It's organisations like PETA that give a bad name to vegetarians - as one myself I really wish they'd stop pulling this sort of stunt, as if I ever have to mention that I'm vegetarian I usually also have to add that I'm not a nutjob. *sigh*

I'd never knock anyone for being a vegetarian, even though I'm definitely not one myself. That said though, veggies are great I think. I don't eat enough of them I know, but when I do I tend to enjoy it (typically in the form of a thai wok with chicken, sometimes beef or shrimp, heh). Brussel sprouts? Bring on the brussel sprouts! Same with broccoli, cabbage, carrots, lentils, beans... Ever had real genuine Greek beef tomatoes? They're so fleshy and succulent you'd almost think you were sucking down a real steak! :D

Not being a nutjob will never stop people from thinking you are. Just ask Lisa Simpson.

From their recent media campaigns, I thought PETA was more about running around naked. Not that I'm going to complain about Eva Mendez nekkid.

The best pic was with the bloodfang rogue with "Merrymaker" title in that chaos

PETA is really good at getting publicity for themselves. As for actually doing anything that helps animals - not so much.

PETA is becoming more and more like some sort of cult instead of serious protestation group.

Keyra Apr 13th 2009 6:39PM

Agreed. PETA used to actually stand for something, but that was a long time ago. Their work brought more realization and understanding to the plight of various animals, but then they just sort of went around the bend and never came back sometime after the mid-to-late 1980s, and now they're more like the rabid fundamentalist nutjobs who spew hatred in the name of JAY-zuz!
