PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has created a headquarters, gardens, and abandoned circuses and slaughterhouses. And this isn't in real life; they've done this in the massively popular Minecraft.
And just as you might expect from PETA, people are not allowed to harm digital chickens or pigs on their game server. How could pretend animals being hurt possibly matter? PETA's director of marketing innovation, Joel Bartlett, explained, "Priority number one is that no animals can be harmed in PETA's Minecraft."
PETA said that they decided to create a PETA server and headquarters in Minecraft because many of its members are fans of the game. "PETA has heard from many of our supporters who love Minecraft as much as they care about the good treatment of animals," Bartlett said. "They said they would like to have an animal-friendly server inside their favorite world."
Playing on Minecraft's name, PETA is calling their world "PETAcraft." They even released a video to showcase their work, complete with pictures of the new world they've created.
Here are some pictures of PETA's hard work:

Worst MC server ever.
Meh. My kid plays it and created the “baconator” in one of his games, a device that spawns pigs, then directly slaughters them into bacon. No muss, no fuss, no PETA.
So their rule is you cannot hurt an animal. Are creepers and spiders considered animals you cannot touch? That would pose an interesting challenge in the game.
Won’t be long before somebody goes into their server and starts messing with stuff.
I bet in their MC Animal Shelter they kill roughly 2,000 animals a year though, just like in real life?

That is fantastic. Sounds like you’re raising him/her right. LOL
tell him to turn off the game and build a prototype..
you’ll never have to work again.
Lol, no one is going to hack that server.
