Nintendo’s Mario Kart World Character Design Condemned by Animal Rights Group

In the game called Mario Kart World, the cow is one of the many characters you can choose to play. This character, being an animal, joins a small group of similar animal racers. Although Donkey Kong and Yoshi are also animals, they have specific names which sets them apart. The cow in the game is unique due to its nose ring, a feature that some real-life bulls and cows possess. This detail has caught the attention of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), leading them to write a letter to Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa (as reported by GeekWire).
