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:
