Gotta catch em all??? Not according to PETA….

The animal rights organization has launched a campaign against super franchise Pokemon and their new release, Pokemon Black and White 2.

PETA believes that the games encourage animal captivity, likening the games to chained up circus elephants in cramped cages.

So what better way to protest the game than creating your own?

Yesterday, July 1st, marked a great day for ducks all over.

California's ban on foie gras became official, meaning that restaurants in Cali can no longer serve fatty duck liver from force fed ducks to patrons.

But those in favor of the delicacy aren't laying down. Protests have continued to put pressure on the situation while restaurants had been stuffing customers' faces with foie gras up until yesterday's ban.

At least a few more ducks get to lead a happy life.
