Isn't that a violation of copyright as well? And wait a second... isn't this counter-productive for them? They're wasting time and energy protesting a video game with (extremely mild) fake "violence" between fake animals, instead of directing their efforts towards protesting any one of the REAL companies which is actually hurting and killing real animals. That's about a mixed up as you get...
And seriously, does a fighting game get any more mild than Pokemon? Instead of protesting a game where people beat the bloody shit out of one another and crap on their remains, they go for the kiddy game where none of the combatants really get hurt, there's no blood, and nobody dies?
I just don't understand...
