PETA's VR Campaign

PETA has been visiting colleges around the United States to give students the option to 'live life as a chicken' and experience what chicken's go through in today's meat industry and then hands them a free Vegan Stater Kit, no joke.

 

 

PETA is rolling out a new high-tech and innovative project that’ll allow people to experience firsthand what it’s like to be a chicken.

 

I, Chicken couples the most cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) hardware available—including wireless VR goggles, motion-capture cameras, and a powerful computer—with guidance from leading VR psychologists in order to immerse participants in a world where they can flap their wings, communicate with other chickens, take dust baths, and engage in other natural chicken behaviour.

 

 

 

 

 

Over the next year, PETA’s youth division, peta2, will take the cutting-edge, three-minute I, Chicken experience to more than a hundred college campuses, where thousands of young people will discover firsthand what it’s like to be a chicken—seeing their reflection, socializing with other chickens, and enjoying a dust bath.

 

So what are your opinions? Personally, I like that PETA is showing the world a new use of VR and I hope that more companies will see the need and the use that VR has and that its more than just for games.

Supercapacitors? Faster hardware? Progress? Space exploration?

vegetarians annoy me, I don't even know what vegan means because I feel that if I were to find out it'd cause anguish.

I myself am a Vegetarian, however Im not a Vegenazi (try decipher that meaning); so whether you eat meat, vegetables or little children it's fine by me just don't force me to eat meat. Vegans are the most extreme form of vegetarianism where they don't eat eggs or milk and eat only things like Soyamilk and vegan bread etc.

Oh PETA... I'll just leave this here:

Content is content and I'm happy to see more content...

 

What's next for stuff like this??

[Trik'Stari]

That way you will have caused more harm by not eating meat, than if you had just STFU and eating meat like a normal human being.

Time to reheat the pot roast from last night lol, damnit I'm hungry now.

Something told me that this topic which should've been about the Use of VR out of gaming would spiral into a Vegetarian vs Not Vegetarian thing.

[Jerakl]

PETA's stupid. They have no idea what they're talking about most of the time.

I think I just barfed a little......

[ForsakenLive]

Vegetarian and vegans don't reach out to me because I know my facts, I know that actually the only reason I'm eating meat is because of cultural tradition (which I don't care about) and mainly: flavour. And I'm ok with it, I grew up partly in the countryside and I know the in and outs about livestock and dairies, and I'm very insensitive, I know what is to stab a sheep you used to know, hang it into a metal hook, pierce it, crack it up, skin it, let it bleed out and retrieve its guts. I don't have any feels or emotions towards it, I just do it.

[Scheer]

My in-laws own a feedlot... No way, shape, or form similar to the feedlot you'll see PETA showing you. I swear PETA operates feedlots where they abuse the living crap out of animals just to get videos and pictures to show how poorly animals are treated.

 

Its not like the animals are treated extremely nice and pampered by any means... If PETA got their way, could you imagine how freaking expensive meat would be? Everyone would have to be vegetarian because they simply couldn't afford meat.

 

 

PETA people had a stand up at the state fair a few years ago, and police kicked them out of the fair for verbally abusing the 4H kids. They were yelling at 12-18 year old kids FFS... They're all psychotic.

Because PETA totally knows what chickens are going through.

[Sky Daddy]

Chickens are too delicious not to eat. PETA should put 100% of their time and money into helping the development of 3D printed meat.

[Raichuboy17]

Cool concept. I must say this is very clever, and I would like to try it out. That being said, there are way too many falsehoods that PETA is trying to enforce here. PETA doesn't rely on scientific data most of the time, and instead relies on emotion. Not a group I particularly trust on at a place of higher learning. If someone actually fell for that there than they should drop out of college and start flipping- well... veggie burgers. None the less, still a brilliant idea and I hope they invest money into making VR better!

[MeltingPoint]

Somebody should shove a chicken up every PETA employee's asshole who decided to make this up

[StingBull]

peta still exists? As long as there are stupid Americans to donate money to bullshit...

[That Norwegian Guy]

I don't even know what vegan means

 

Vegans don't eat meat, they don't eat anything that comes from animals, nor do they wear clothing made from animals or use products made from animals.

 

They are essentially arch-vegetarians.
