  • Now PETA is thundering against Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Kyoto / Virginia - While the new Animal Crossing: New Horizons * delights the hearts of the gaming community, there is someone who thinks the Nintendo Switch game is going against the grain. If it is normal for the player to fish and catch butterflies on his island with the animal crossing animals *, an author from the animal welfare organization PETA felt this at the border to cruelty to animals and published a guide to animal-friendly life in "Animal Crossing: New Horizons " .

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Nintendo Switch) - PETA shoots game over fish fishing

The new part of the Animal Crossing series is currently very popular that even a game analyst made a shocking forecast, reported ingame.de *. Like a kind of vacation, the Nintendo Switch game offers a change from the domestic isolation during the coronavirus crisis . But playing with the cute animals with which the player leads his idyllic island life is anything but animal-friendly. At least that criticizes PETA . But don't worry, with a strange campaign the animal welfare organization is promoting an animal-friendly and vegan lifestyle that would also be possible on the Nintendo Switch.

A sworn AC gamer knows this typical situation at Animal Crossing , because fishing in the Nintendo game can sometimes be a real nerve test: not only do you scare away the fish quickly, no, sometimes the angles are just not right when you throw in the homemade fishing rod *. But PETA goes one step further and suspects a serious nuisance behind the supposedly harmless fish fishing. It would be simply disappointing that the game would allow the gamer to coexist harmoniously with its animal inhabitants (from elephants to pigs), but would then "catastrophically annoy fish and insects". "Instead of registering them as living, breathing and feeling individuals, they are excluded from any form of entertainment like the other residents," the PETA organization complained about the Animal Crossing game from Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto.

But not only is fishing a thorn in PETA's eye, Eugene's museum should also border on cruelty to animals. If there are cracks in the floor, Animal Crossing: New Horizons gives the player the chance to collect fossils and then sell, exhibit and admire them in the museum. In his animal-loving guide, PETA therefore instructed the Animal Crossing players to refrain from doing this, because the animals would be better off in the wild than in the museum. PETA not only wanted to set an example for animal-friendly gameplay, but also to clarify the references to reality.

If the gamer wants to campaign for animal rights, it would be very simple: The name of the island at Animal Crossing could also be "Veganville", because one thing is not to be criticized in the Nintendo Switch game: the diet, at which even the PETA author couldn't help but praise. The diet in the simulation game is exemplary vegan, because the animal crossing player can only feed on different types of fruit.

With "Now the world knows the answer to the eternal question of what a vegan would eat on a lonely island: fruit!", The otherwise insulting organization nevertheless found good words. But with that, PETA has probably crossed a line, at least find the users on social media. For most, the switch game would be just a game at the end of the day and far from cruelty to animals.
