Avatar picked up a Golden Globe this past week, but it also won the favor of People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals.

PETA has awarded James Cameron a Proggy (short for progress) Award for the movie’s message about, “the importance of treating all living beings, no matter how ‘strange’ or ‘alien,’ with respect and dignity.”

“We hope viewers will come away from ‘Avatar’ with a new way of looking at the world around them and the way we treat our fellow earthlings,” PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange says in a statement. “For helping animals with the positive message of this film, James Cameron is PETA’s ‘King of the World.'”

The Sims 3 allows players to create vegetarian Sims

PETA has awarded The Sims 3 by Electronic Art a Proggy Award for being the Most Animal Friendly Game of 2009.

The Proggy Award is short for “progress,” and is intended for PETA to recognize companies that display animal friendly themes in their products.

According to PETA, The Sims 3 can feature Sims who not only eat vegetarian, but become ill if served vegetarian food.

Wonder if these Sims can force their meat eating virtual friends to have a Quorn patty here and there?

“Rumor has it that game testers have reported that vegetarian Sims live longer and age more slowly than meat-eating Sims,” PETA continued. “Of course, that would jibe with studies showing that real-life vegans and vegetarians are less prone to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening conditions.”

Do these Sims get better premiums on their health care coverage?

If not, it’s time to make changes for The Sims 4!
