In celebration to the North American release of Black and White 2, PETA has set it sights on Pokemon for promoting animal abuse.
The way that Pokemon are stuffed into pokeballs is similar to how circuses chain elephants inside railroad cars and let them out only to perform confusing and often painful tricks that were taught using sharp steel-tipped bullhooks and electric shock prods
And in similar fashion to previous accusations, PETA has a provided a flash game which showcases Pokemon escaping from their trainer and engaging in a Pokemon Battle.
