Since Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 6, the most recent game in the series, would have a cockfighting minigame, more than one knew that at some point PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) would complain.
Indeed, this is how it happened, and through Twitter The Latin affiliate of this organization expressed its displeasure at this initiative of the French company. The first advance in this note allows us to appreciate the rooster Pork rind slipping away.
Chicharrón and the cockfighting game from Far Cry 6
As for the second, it shows the minigame in action. Apparently this is a parody of Tekken, but PETA Latino he has not been amused at all. So much so that he shared the message ‘glorifying this blood sport is SO FAR from entertainment’.
To the above, he added ‘Real roosters in fights are given sharp knives that tear off MEAT AND BONE, causing fatal and agonizing wounds’. Sadly, that is true.
Freeza, that’s not your franchise! Far Cry 6’s Latin dub will feature a familiar voice
PETA Latino ends by saying ‘We urge @Ubisoft to replace the horrible mini-game, # FarCry6!’. Despite these comments, it should be noted that the company is not ‘glorifying’ cockfighting.
Actually, it is an illegal activity, but the authorities of the island of Yara turn a ‘blind eye’. They are not part of a corrupt government for nothing. So this minigame is very good to set what happens in this fictional place.
PETA Latino has accused other games in the past
In the publication in Twitter can also be read ‘turning this blood sport into a Mortal Kombat-type game trivializes the cruelty behind it’. It is not the first time PETA has its sights on video games, but companies generally ignore its complaints.
For example, he has attacked more than once Nintendo and The Pokémon Company by Pokemon, for the fights between the pocket monsters, which are similar to animals.
They are certainly fictional, but PETA you don’t see it that way. But the companies have not paid the slightest attention to it. So it looks difficult that Ubisoft give in to the pressure of this organization.
There is no shortage of comments that PETA Latino ends up promoting the games he criticizes and that he should be more careful with real animals than digital ones. There are several accusations against them for mistreatment against them in their facilities.
