History VideoGame / CookingMamaMamaKillsAnimals

''Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals'' is particularly infamous amongst PETA's many parody games. It's very bloody despite the original series being a very tame CasualVideoGame about cooking. The parody was made with the intent of provoking a vegan-friendly version of ''Cooking Mama'' without the animal product-related recipes. Such a thing didn't occur. Instead, Majesco issued a TakeThat and used the game as [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity free publicity]] [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/87569-Cooking-Mama-Responds-To-PETA in an official statement]].

* MoodWhiplash: Halfway through, it turns from a game where you make and cook a grotesque turkey meal into a game where you make a tofurky (a turkey style food made from tofu).

* AssholesGotAPoint: About a decade later, ''Cooking Mama: Cookstar'' released with a vegetarian mode, but [[OvershadowedByControversy the game became controversial for a completely different reason.]]

* BloodierAndGorier: Mama is cooking a full turkey. Everything is portrayed more gory (and unsanitary) than it normally would be in real life, nevermind in a bloodless series like ''Cooking Mama''. Even the ''eggs'' are bloody when they're cracked open.

* ArtisticLicense: Nothing about the game is similar to cooking turkeys in reality. It's far too bloody and unhygienic.

* HeelFaceTurn: It's never mentioned why, but halfway through the game Mama turns from an evil non-vegetarian to a sweethearted vegan.
