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.

In the end, all ended as it should. I hope PETA enjoyed the love. ^_^

Am I the only one who's really, really curious to know what happens when that DK in the first few pictures activates the macro mapped to 4 on his actionbar? Look again if you didn't see it the first time.

Don't blame PETA for being slow in getting this to work. They don't eat meat, so their brains aren't quite as fully developed as the rest of the meat eaters.

The Ogre philosopher Gnerdel believed the purpose of life was to live as high on the food chain as possible. She refused to eat vegetarians, preferring to live entirely on creatures that preyed on sentient beings.

I went and skinned some of the leftover seals. I got two Arctic Furs. I consider that a success.

I expected this to happen. Further proof the WoW Community is full of idiots. No wonder we get such a bad rep. Seriously "Seal Cub Clubbing Club" what pre-teen minded jerk off thought of that. Do you people honestly have nothing better to do then ruin an event created for a good cause. Wait stupid question forgot where I was. Well at least they still got some media attention. Unfortunately so did the horrible actions of the player base giving us an even worse reputation. And I got to admit rightfully so. So mission accomplished for PETA. Despite people trying their heart out to stop it. Further proving they're all losers and failures.

Clifton, being part of the WoW community you are now an idiot by your own admission.
Also, members of PETA are a bunch of raving loons and PETA 2 is a hilariously lame spinoff.

...here's some fun logic for you to mull over if you ever take the blinders off.
-Plants take in wasteful gases and create oxygen for animals to breathe.
-Cows produce high levels of methane.
-People eat a large amount of beef (read: cows)
-People who are vegetarians eat large amounts of greens (read: plants)
So... I had a hamburger for dinner and stopped the production of methane. You had a salad and stopped the recycling of carbon dioxide and such into oxygen.
You are causing global warming. You are the problem, I am the solution.
Thank you and goodnight :p

Well, considering they essentially reasoned in the fashion of "the Horde's killing seals, let's kill them", what did you expect the reaction to be? Candy and lollipops?
Besides, when -is- PETA ever satisfied?
A protest, inside of a video game? While the concept seems ingenuitive, PETA's actions did not truly accomplish anything signifigant other then draw attention to themselves without them really ever having to explain how their position will truly help anyone. It's all done for distraction so they do not need to truly argue their point or persuade their target audience to back them. After all, what have they to fear of opposition when they can demonize them for wanting to "hurt the adorable little seals" or "kill the cute and cuddly sea-kittens". We also call these creatures "fish"; a little change in wording, and suddenly they sound -appealing-.
Really now... when does something that is cold-blooded, lives in the water, stinks of ammonia and scaly sound likable at all for most?

I have to laugh at any PETA antics these days. I used to work at a Wild Oats store (natural foods supermarket, plenty of organic "vegan" food along with REAL MEAT!). Some of the employees were PETA members (or just radical vegans). They were trying to get the meat department shut down. Needless those of use working in the deli (my dept.) and the meat dept used to mock the PETA members. It wouldn't have been so bad if they A) didn't wear their damn slogans on their cloths (most of them were cashiers) and B) would keep their damn mouths shut.
Anyway, excellent job to the Horde of Whisperwind. I wish I could have joined you all. Now back to my breakfast. Mmm eggs and leftover pork chops.
