PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has lodged a complaint against Uniregistry.
The thorny issue seems to be the Uniregistry chicken game, that appears during a 404 error.
What is the Uniregustry chicken game?
Visitors of non-existent pages can play a game of jumping chicken, or by visiting the URL https://uniregistry.com/eric directly.
By hitting the space bar, the chicken jumps over an obstacle course, at an increased speed; it’s “game over” when it hits an obstacle.
Many domain investors appreciate this novel game, but PETA apparently disagrees:
“We’re dismayed by the violent death of the chicken, a living animal, on the Uniregistry’s 404 page,” said Marcus Dickermann of PETA.
“Not only it should be treated humanely – and clearly this does not happen – but hitting the space bar aggressively is a clear demonstration of violent behavior and it dehumanizes the visitor’s psyche – it’s just not cool to kill animals!” exclaimed Dickermann.
The PETA complaint about the Uniregistry chicken game is yet another bizarre demonstration of ultra-liberalism, and many domain investors should be concerned about such uninvited interventions in the future.

Hey PETA, GFY and go be smelly hippies somewhere else. You morons try to ruin everything for everybody, all the time. Just go away.
Uniregistry should have recognized that the use of chickens would create a sentimental bond with its players. Next time they should pick a creature that no one could ever become attached to, like a congressman or Spammer.
Will Godaddy be bringing back the puppy farm game I wonder?
