It turns out that PETA thought they saw an opportunity after seeing Majesco's initial reaction. They tried to play off the press release from Majesco by duplicating its tone and asking for a "vegetarian" version of cooking mama; even going so far as to offer to help promote it. Most people seem to think that this turn of events was a little unscrupulous. http://kotaku.com/5094386/peta-beats-a-dead-horse-asks-for-veggie-cooking-mama Elana, thanks for your insightful comment!

What a great response from Majesco. They were civil and employed concrete examples (the 25 vegetarian recipes and the dog, Max) to prove their point that there is a difference between supporting an omnivorous eating lifestyle and abusing animals. Personally, I am disappointed with PETA's recent actions with both this game and Ben and Jerry's. It's supposed to be an organization that focuses on the fair treatment of animals, not the admonishment of those who choose to eat animal byproducts. I wonder what PETA plans to do with Majesco's response? Tristan, thank you for sharing this! What a great response from Majesco.
