People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, also known as PETA, is now taking issue with Mario Kart World and specifically the Cow character.
Cow is playable for the first time in series history. With that new popularity and overall interest in the game, it’s caught the attention of PETA. The organization is requesting for the nose ring to be removed.
PETA says that in the real world, these rings “are used by the meat and dairy industries to exploit, control, and even drag animals to their deaths.” The letter further goes on to talk about issues with the piercing.
PETA’s full letter to Nintendo about Mario Kart World’s Cow is as follows:

Sakurai thinks he’ll be able to share Kirby Air Riders information soon
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
There are a lot of question marks surrounding the rest of Nintendo’s Switch 2 lineup for the rest of the year, including Kirby Air Riders. Outside of the initial reveal back in April, we haven’t heard about the project at all. Making things stranger is the fact that the game is supposed to launch this year, even though we’ve yet to see any actual footage.
We do at least have a brief status update from director Masahiro Sakurai. Just a few minutes ago, Sakurai shared on social media that he thinks he’ll be able to share more information about the game soon. We’re already in mid-August, so fans are wondering what’s happening with the project.
