NOW the Space Wolves are in Trouble...

You forgot PETP. People for the Ethical Treatment of Paint.

Speaking of 40K...

Kinda been getting the itch to do some Dark Heresy 2nd Ed. on the tabletop.  I wonder if RP'ing burning the flesh off heretics would be protest worthy too?

Because nobody expects the Imperial Inquisition!

Too bad we can't get any traction for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Other People

Eh, we have a bunch of churches for that. But they're too passe for PETA. ;)

Despite being a La Bataille kinda guy, all the 40k RPG stuff from FFG struck me as far too much futz for what it was.

Ran an inquisition campaign not long ago using Savage Worlds and it went well.  Just doesn't handle the full-on 40k combat well, but neither, frankly did Dark Heresy.

a recent statement from PETA.

who knows if this is post-hoc ret-conning or not

We're laughing, too! For the cost of a postage stamp, our website has received record traffic – and the people who were prompted to visit our site by this story can't have missed the prominently featured eyewitness footage showing that animals in real life are electrocuted, drowned, and sometimes even skinned alive for their fur.

Here's a little secret: we know that Warhammer characters are fictional, and we're not losing sleep worrying about what Leman Russ or the other miniatures are "wearing". We are, however, lying awake at night thinking of ways to make people aware that real animals who are raised for their fur, skin, or flesh are suffering every day. We'll sleep a little more easily tonight knowing that we've managed to get nearly a quarter of a million people (and counting!) to visit PETA.org.uk in the days since we sent our letter, because – whatever their reason for doing so – they'll now know more about the cruelty behind fur.

So by all means, have a laugh at this campaign – you can even laugh at us – but please remember that the fur industry is a living hell for animals. If that bothers you, and it should, please share our fur exposés with your friends and family.

As predicted, they're just good at getting attention by doing stupid / scandalous things -- for a good cause.  ::)
