Ah, the holidays. A time for dinner with family, twinkling lights … and carnage. At least, that’s the opinion of PETA, which has released a parody of Majesco’s Cooking Mama video game series called Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals. In PETA’s version of the game, a grimacing Mama plucks feathers from a bloody, hanging turkey, and then scoops out its guts before decapitating and stuffing it.

PETA, the Lakshar e Taiba of the food world.
