“In the wise words of Kratos ‘No'”- Fans Stand by God of War: Ragnarok Developers as PETA Demands Cruelty-Free Mechanics

Sony PlayStation’s Blockbuster father action game God of War: Ragnarok is in the news once again. It started with getting universally positive reviews and being the fastest-selling first-party PlayStation game.

It was lauded for its representation of the Father-Son relationship and coming to odds with various issues a parent faces, all the while fighting numerous mystical creatures.

And now, after securing a spot on numerous top 10 lists and a bunch of awards, PETA has taken notice and they have something to say too.

PETA wants a cruelty-free version of God of War: Ragnarok

Peta recently released a statement on their blog detailing how God of War: Ragnarok has taken the gaming world by storm. They went along and explained that Garm being chained in cold Helheim is cruel to him. Further, they mentioned that it was good of Kratos to free Lyngbakrs and Hafgufas, but riding a sled pulled by wolves is not good.

In the game, Garm is an angry wolf, who is captured by Tyr and gets freed by Atreus. The wolf then goes on to cause a lot of damage to the realms by causing rifts between time and space. Kratos then goes back to Helheim to get the wolf in control and has to fight it.

PETA is strongly against treating the wolf as a boss and they even disliked the fact that he was tied in the first place.

The post said “Kratos and Atreus are a bit of a mixed case—you should rescue Lyngbakrs and Hafgufas but definitely not ride wolf sleds—but fighting the hound of Hel is a Bifröst bridge too far. Ancient myths may lay the blame on Tyr for having chained Garm up in the first place, but Santa Monica Studio didn’t need to make this very good boy a boss fight!”

PETA then went on to mention that using wolves to pull a sled carrying Kratos is also not good. And then asked the developers to release a “PETA mode” for God of War: Ragnarok.

PETA’s statement is not sitting well with fans

PETA’s blog also talks about how using wolves for a sled might send out the wrong message to people playing the game. And there are, in fact, animals suffering such cruelty.

Even though PETA just wanted to deliver an important message to society with their information, God of War: Ragnarok fans are not very enthusiastic about this post. They took it to themselves to deny this request by making various comments.

So what are your thoughts on this matter? Does God of War: Ragnarok need a “PETA mode”?
