The cow is one of the unexpected stars of Mario Kart World, the new Mario map of the Nintendo SWITCH 2. The cow of the meadow You has one of the new playable characters of the game and against all odds, probably, the favorite of the players.
However, the character aroused the attention of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), the famous association that seeks to establish and protect the rights of all animals.
In an open letter addressed to Shuntaro Furukawathe president of Nintendoand published by Geek Wire, PETA is delighted with the popularity of the cow (Cow) to a detail: the brass ring in its muzzle. Peta recalls that his “Nasal rings are used by meat industries and dairy products to exploit, control and even drag animals to death.“.
Peta asks Nintendo, a small update of the character so as to remove the ring …
Find the translation of Peta’s letter below and as always, do not hesitate to tell us what you think in comments.
Dear Mr. Furukawa:
Good morning ! I am writing to you on behalf of the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) association. Peta has more than 10 million members and sympathizers worldwide. We heard That a new star arrived in Mario Kart World: the cow! She already conquers all hearts, including ours. But a detail stops: the brass ring in the nose of the cow. Could you be empathy for cattle and remove this ring? Here is why it is so important:
The nasal rings are used by the meat and dairy products industries to exploit, control and even drag animals to death. These brass rings are roughly sunk into the sensitive nasal partition of cows and bulls, which can cause lasting pain and discomfort. The dairy industry also fixes nasal rings with peaks with calves, which causes intense pain due to breastfeeding of their mother, which is rejected and pushed. To control the bulls, a chain can be attached to the bull’s horn, which still accentuates the pain.
The brass ring in the nose of the cow hides violence and cruelty to animals in the real world. This is why we ask you to offer this beloved cattle a small significant improvement: remove the nasal ring and let the cow run freely, without the painful memory of the industries that treat animals as well as machines for profit.
Each animal is someone . So leave the rings to Sonic and let Cow breathe freely!
