Following a Massachusetts high school petition protesting the treatment of dogs in Call of Duty: World at War, the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is now joining the protest as well.

The organization has also sent the company a package of Nintendogs for the DS, which it deems “dog-friendly.” PETA hopes the puppy sim will help influence Activision’s treatment of animals in future games, with the organization’s blog noting “perhaps the next Call of Duty game will have you unlock achievements for petting the dogs you encounter and going on walks or playing Frisbee with them.”
