GTA 5: Animal Rights Group Demands Boycott Of ‘Grand Theft Auto V’

[RizzE.]

I can understand why they would be outraged, but it's a game after all. But Rockstars should have only included wild animals instead live cows and dogs.

But having your rottweiler tear your enemies a new one is pretty sweeeet. You can also take your dog for a walk in the mountains, forests etc and have him scare the shit out of some joggers.

Again, game is set as 18 plus restriction for a reason. A normal person will never go around killing animals on the street.

As you said it is 18 plus ,People play games for Fun, as it is not MP so Rule breaking is allowed for an Individual...

Lemme get this straight.. It's okay to run over people, which is what GTA players have been doing for more than 10 years, but it's not okay to run over animals? Oh yeah!

When Grand Theft Auto III came out, they complained heavily about running over people. In a matter of time, they'll learn to get over this too. They need to remember that kids shouldn't be playing these games if they don't understand the difference between real life and a video game, and also that no one is forcing them to do anything in these games. Just because Rockstar Games added realism does not mean kids are required to explore it. Hell, if they really want a game to complain about, they should go after all the companies that make hunting games.

Ultra violence is a part of GTA.

Not really, there are tons of games and simulations out there, they should hunt shops who sell the tittles to underaged people.

That is something the ratings companies are responsible for. These people are angry simply because GTA V allows you to kill animals. You're going off to a different subject here man. D:

On a small scale this might be effective, but on a large scale I doubt - as the main problem are the parents who buy the games for their young kids, and not the kids themselves.

[Ragdoll]

So now they save virtual animals too? Bravo.

Tbh its not really that big of a deal.
Obv you shouldnt hand these games to toddlers, but teens today know more about sex and killing than adults do. The ratings do nothing more than make some hyperactive parents feel comfy.

Man...that animal rights groups are so fucking annoying this days...

[MikeSangelo]

So I heard that boycott went well.

[Mikal]

Man I ran over Chop like 5 times earlier before heading over to Mount Chilliad to tazer some deer, felt so good.

On a plus side I completed GTA V, shortest fucking story ever, honestly I was hoping it would just go on and on, was so awesome anyway.

[Huntsman]

Lol I saw that coming as soon as i found out GTA V will feature animals.
It's funny how animal rights demand games like GTA V shut down, while yet there are thousands of TV shows about hunting and fishing. These stupid animal right movement seekers are just seeking for attention. No mentally capable person would ever re-enact a video game, and if he is mentally uncapable, he'll do a lot worse things without the help of GTA V. And if children are playing GTA V - their parents problem.

People hunt and fish to survive, though I don't support sport hunting, thats just mean.
