Animal Rights Club Attacks Call of Duty: World at War
Anyone who has had the pleasure of playing Call of Duty: World at War has at least some familiarity with the attack dogs featured in the game, as well as the ability to save their own hides by shooting down these canine foes.
But a group of students at the Academy of Notre Dame in Massachusetts are particularly upset about the ability to shoot dogs in CoD:WaW. And they’ve taken their anger directly to Activision Blizzard, the publisher of this best-selling FPS franchise. Breanna Lucci, who serves as president of the Animal Rights Club at the Academy of Notre Dame in Tyngsboro, said:
“Killing dogs as a form of entertainment … over and over again. That’s one of the objects of the game. Parents need to know what they are buying their kids. Killing animals should not be a form of entertainment…
My little 12-pound Pomeranian, Winnie the Pooh, is sitting next to [my brother, who is playing CoD:WaW], and I’m thinking, ‘This looks horrible!’ My brother is a sweetheart. He won’t be killing dogs after playing. But some people might.”
Wait until they find out you can also kill people in the game.

This is a joke. People will find anything to cry about these days,
they should spend their time helping real dogs.
RIDICULOUS!
God, these people are losers. They must not understand the context of which the “animals” are being killed in the game. I say “animals” because they aren’t real animals. They’re digitized animation of real animals.
No animals were harmed in the writing of this comment.
another “games cause violence” arguement….except even more ridiculous
when will it end? NEVER! that’s when. this “group”, like many others, is just looking for publicity. what better way to catch the public eye than to attack a large well known company. i’m sure they know their claim is ridiculous, and that no one is going to blast away at random dogs with WWII era weapons after playing this game. i don’t forsee much becoming of this. you had to kill attack dogs in COD 4 as well and no one said shit about that.
They’re surprised about killing animals in games?
They need to play Harvest Moon… seriously… I can’t tell you how many love interests have had chickens named after them that got hoed, axed, or even just starved to death.
When someone tells you “No I don’t want to go out with you” playing harvest moon and seeing “(insert name here) has died)” is a fun stress reliever.
Animal killing is by no means new.
This is mental, why don’t they try saving REAL dogs!?
It’s a VIDEO GAME. Sure, there may be a miniscule percentage of mental defects which would go out and actually harm dogs– but so what? It’s unfortunate that those things occur, but Notre Dame (let alone a small group of students) can’t control what other people do (as far as how they will react to a video game). This is a cry for attention on the part of a few students of the Fighting Irish. They’re probably upset about have a screwy year or two in sports, so they need to take it out on something or someone. But why a video game? Nothing’s going to change the fact that the game has attack dogs that you need to defend yourself against. No real dogs are being harmed– IT’S JUST A VIDEO GAME!

“Wait until they find out you can also kill people in the game.”
That cracked me up lol.
So…..they are concerned about the killing of dogs but dont mind the killing of humans in the game? Someone’s priorities out of line?
These people kill me. Its a game….get over it.
If you don’t think animal rights is a serious issue you should watch this: http://meat.org
…what i don’t understand is that in call of duty 4 u actually got up close and personal with dogs sometimes and snapped there necks….where were these ppl then???
attacking COD??? this is a joke!!!!! How about you fuckers go after the sites on the internet that are hosting people skinning animals alive!!!!!!! Do something good for a change, stop attacking video games.

Ridiculous, besides aren’t you supposed to make a complaint before the game releases,
What a joke, it is a game. Plus, if a dog was trained to attack you wouldn’t you defend yourself, especially in a damn war? Save real dogs like others have said.
