PETA has condemned Assassin's Creed 4 because it contains whaling.
Ignoring the fact that it's a video game and people won't instantly condone real-world whaling because it occurs in the game, it's just what happened back then, but for some reason PETA is okay with murder, thievery and general criminality but not the death of whales. Makes total sense.
Ubisoft's response is just perfect, by the way.

AC4 whaling is somewhat historicity correct. And doesn't PETA kill any animals that they take in to "have them adopted"? Didn't they find a dumpster filled with dead dogs and cats? They have no adoption centers and they even said they can kill animals when they want.
