Here’s PETA’s latest desperate attempt to get attention that may or may not help animals.

–PETA has issued a press release announcing their next target is . . . Super Mario. Yes, the video game character Mario.

–In several of the Mario games for the past few decades, Mario has been able to find and wear a suit made out of fur. It’s called a tanooki suit . . . tanukis are Japanese raccoon dogs. The suit usually gives Mario the power to fly.

–PETA says, quote, “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 okay to wear fur.” (Forbes)
