1	''Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals'' is a short online {{horror}} game by the animal rights group PETA. As the name implies, it's a parody of the Majesco video game series ''VideoGame/CookingMama''.

3	The game has two levels. The first one has Mama cooking a turkey while the bonus level "Mama Loves Animals!" has the now-vegan Mama cooking tofurkey (a turkey made with tofu).

5	''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]] [[https://web.archive.org/web/20081226223951/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/87569-Cooking-Mama-Responds-To-PETA in an official statement]].

8	!!This game provides examples of:
9
10	* AdaptationalUgliness: Mama has MessyHair and bags under her eyes. Her clothes are also blood-splattered. She cleans up her look and changes her outfit after going vegan.
11	* AdaptationalVillainy: Mama in the actual games is a sweet woman who enjoys teaching others to cook. In ''Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals'' she's evil and cruel, because she's a [[EvilChef chef]].
12	* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: The game features "What Mama Never Told You" sections that discuss the conditions on turkey farms. It also features graphic videos of turkey farms abusing animals.
13	* AuthorTract: Like all PETA parody games, the message is "Eating animals is cruel, and you should be vegan."
14	* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: The turkey was already dead, but Mama is still presented as an evil murderer nevertheless. After going vegan she's shown happily hugging a turkey.
15	* BloodierAndGorier: Mama is cooking a full turkey. Everything is portrayed gorier (and more unsanitary) than it normally would be in real life, never mind in a bloodless series like ''Cooking Mama''. Even the ''eggs'' are bloody when they're cracked open.
16	* DarkParody: Mama is depicted as a bloody animal abuser.
17	* GrossOutShow: The game makes cooking turkeys as unappealing as possible in order to invoke an anti-poultry message.
18	* HeelFaceTurn: It's never mentioned why, but halfway through the game Mama turns from an evil non-vegetarian to a sweethearted vegan.
19	* 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).
