PETA2 teaches children about the plight of circus-bound elephants with a pair of new flash games, giving the worldâs largest land mammals a chance to strike back against the clowns, trainers, and circus CEOs that are keeping them down.
PETA2 is the kidâs branch of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, so donât expect the blood and gore of previous PETA flash games showing up there. Itâs just good clean vengeance in Elephantâs Revenge, which puts the player into the pillar-like feet of an elephant shooting peanuts at an advance army of prod-wielding circus employees.
The second game, aptly titled Match It!, is a memory match game with music composed by Video Games Live front man Tommy Tallarico, one of gamingâs smaller land mammals.
âConsidering how they attack elephants with bullhooks and electric prods, circus trainers would be lucky to get off with a mere peanut pelting,â says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. âLife in chains is no life at all, and the kindest thing that parents and kids can do is to steer clear of circuses that use animals.â
