Cooking Mama World Kitchen Angers PETA

Cooking Mama is apparently taking some heat from animal rights group PETA for the new Cooking Mama World Kitchen game.

Is the new game cruel to animals?

Game publisher Majesco Entertainment  argues that it isn't.

"I would never put rat in my Ratatouille," said a feisty Mama while beating some eggs. "Like any accomplished cook, I create my recipes to appeal to a broad range of tastes and preferences. My only goal is to ensure you leave the table well fed."

Cooking Mama World Kitchen includes more than 25 vegetarian-friendly recipes including delicious breakfast, dinner, dessert and snack options. And, while Mama is not a vegetarian, she fully supports the humane treatment of animals, particularly for her canine protege Max who makes his doggie debut in World Kitchen.
