People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has criticised Majesco Entertainment's Wii and DS series Cooking Mama for using animals in its cookery mini-games.
The campaign group has launched a dedicated website titled Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals to encourage Majesco to include more vegetarian recipes in future titles.
The site includes an unauthorised flash-based game in which players decapitate a turkey, pluck its feathers and then cut out its giblets in preparation for a meal.
PETA said in a statement: "If Mama knew what happened to animals on factory farms, she very well might want Majesco Entertainment to make a new Cooking Mama game that is much more animal-friendly."
The group welcomed the upcoming Gardening Mama title but added that "we'd love to see a more vegetarian-friendly Mama as well".
