Super Mario 3D Land is finally here and PETA isn't happy about it. Nintendo have pleased a lot of fans by bringing back the Tanooki suit, but PETA believe that it sends out a message that it’s acceptable for people to wear real animal fur.
“When on a mission to rescue the princess, Mario has been known to use any means necessary to defeat his enemy – even wearing the skin of a raccoon dog to give him special powers. Tanooki may be just a ‘suit’ in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur."
Pretty deep stuff. PETA have even created a Flash game called Super Tanooki Skin 2D, where you play as a Raccoon who's had its further stolen from Mario and you have to catch him.
