User blog comment:TheKnightOfOyashiro/PETA condemns "brutal" rat stabbing/@comment-92.21.203.242-20111112214853

The entire point of that scene was to convey that in a real life battlefield sometimes you have to kill things in order to save yourself even if that is something like a rat to an innocent farmer who may give away your position accidently. And lets be honest in any game where an explosion takes place at least 12 rats must die or god knows how many other animals. Like people said their are scenes you have to kill dogs in COD. There are dead girrafes in Halo 3 ODST. You can crush cockroaches underfoot in Half life but do these things get mentioned? No because unlike Battlefield you dont die if you do. Does PETA think Blackburn wants to stab the rat? No but it was a life or death situation. Those happen in real life. Dont try and deny it PETA. Dont even bother.
