Cooking Mama: Bloodthirsty Murder Meals!

I think she once brutalised a cauliflower too ...

New from those serious-business-types at PETA, rather than those anti-vegan, discriminating Majesco bastards, comes Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals!

This parody game was made by PETA in response to the lack of a full vegan version of Cooking Mama. After playing the game – which includes enough blood to make it a dubious contender for MA15+ – the site gives you the opportunity to petition Majesco to create a vegan only game, saying ‘Mama’ herself would be saddened by where her meat comes from.

She looks innocent enough—a happy woman who has a twinkle in her eye and loves to cook—but if you take just a minute to think about what happens to the animals who are killed for Mama’s meals, a fun cooking game no longer seems quite so innocent.

The game centers on the plucking, gutting and stuffing of a turkey for Thanksgiving. I don’t celebrate the holiday, not being a North American, but holy shit it sounds like fun! You get to cut the neck off! Pull out guts! Mix them around in a bowl with what looks like acid! What’s not to like? Oh. Right. All of this is bad for the turkey.

For some reason, you also crack open eggs full of blood into a bowl. I’m sorry? Last time I cracked open an unfertilised egg, blood didn’t come out of them. In fact, the last time I had the misfortune of cracking open a cold, dead, fertilised egg, there weren’t any splatters or blood either.

Have a play of this amusingly bloody game. If you really want to support PETA, or pledge to become vegan, then there are links on the page. You can also sign the petition. I hear for every petition signed, you save one blood filled egg from being cracked into a bowl, saving at least $7 in bleach alone to get the stains out of your clothes.
