As noted in the report above, the suit in question has been around since Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES.... so talk about missing the ball on that one.
All they're doing is trying to cling onto anything that might be trendy and then finger wag at it so they get their name in the paper for another 15 mins of fame.
"Tanooki may be just a "suit" in Mario games, but by wearing the skin of an animal, Mario is sending the message that it's OK to wear fur," PETA says."Oh, so it couldn't be made out of synthetic material?
It couldn't have been made out of some magical element where it just suddenly exists and no animal was harmed?
It couldn't be that the fur and tail were specifically mutated from his own genetic makeup and thus, his own fur???
Gotta love PETA.... pulling assumptions out of their arse & wasting everybody's time for 31 years and counting.
