PETA has unveiled its first edition of an animal rights version of a very popular board game.

PETAopoly, a spin on the real estate themed Monopoly, is available for order both from the organization and through select online retailers.

Last year, the group championed Hasbro for putting a rescue cat as a new token.

It’s version of the game has several key themes, including:

• Popular pets and farm animals as tokens, including a cat, dog, chicken, cow and pig.
• A jail that puts players in small, cramped cages akin to those animals endure on factory farms. Players must pay extra money to overcome conditions and diseases animal develop (e.g. avoid getting de-beaked, finance their own antibiotics).
• Get out of Jail Free cards that allow shelter pets to find permanent, loving homes.
• Multiple properties available for purchase to start small-scale organic farming and/or other plant crops.

• Bonus money awarded for seizing former livestock farms and turning them into sanctuaries and/or farms that grow vegetables and grains.
• Currency printed on recycled paper with facts on how meat consumption affects the environment.
• Several rail lines that will increase the use of public transportation and cut down on cars on the road
• Electric Company that runs entirely on solar energy

This would be a really fun game to play.

Unfortunately, if you haven’t already guessed it, this story is a bunch of vegan baloney.

Happy April 1st!
