By now, you’ve probably heard about this whole Pokémon GO thing. A lot of people are getting super-into it.

But is no one concerned about the game’s shocking promotion of animal cruelty? This sounds like a job for PETA!

Im surprised @peta hasn't stepped in to stop this sudden surge of people capturing pokemon

Has PETA started rescue efforts for all these newly captured pokemon yet?

— R.B. Propst (@RBPropst) July 9, 2016

Waiting for PETA to start coming at people for catching Pokemon because it's cruel to capture things from the wild.

I wonder how @peta feels about this #PokemonGO revolution. These kids out here capturing Pokemon. Anyone stop to think how the Pokemon feel?
