PETA Fights 'Dog Wars' With A New App

Kiss our Android!

PETA has unveiled its own iPhone app as a way to counteract the animal cruelty expressed in an Android app formally known as “Dog Wars.”

The nasty app, made by Kage Games and found on the Android Market, touted itself as a way to train virtual pit bulls to fight other dogs and pick up “street cred” along the way.

The game upset everyone – from the head of the LAPD police officers union to Michael Vick!

PETA unveiled its own iPhone app last week that highlights stories about animal cruelty, inviting users to share the details on Facebook and Twitter and take action by sending letters of protest to politicians, corporate executives, and other officials.

The app also enables people to donate money to the cause through PETA’s mobile Web site.
