Mafia Wars
After receiving a request from PETA to remove a chained pit bull used as a weapon from the latest edition of Mafia Wars, Zynga president and CEO has complied with the request.
Mark Pincus will be getting his vegan chocolates from the animal rights organization very soon.
“Mafia Wars is obviously only a game, but the suffering endured by thousands of pit bulls who are treated as if they were nothing more than burglar alarms or fighting machines is very real,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman in a press release. “By removing Mafia Wars’ virtual pit bull, Zynga is no longer perpetuating the mindset that it’s acceptable to chain, neglect, and abuse real dogs.”
We just knew it was impossible for a guy who used to bring his bulldog to work to keep this horrible feature in the game.
And the employee who’s idea it was to put it in there?
No free massages at work for him for a month.
