Urge Nintendo to Give “Cow” a Compassionate Glow-Up

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

There’s a new fan fave in Mario Kart World: Cow! 😍 This adorable character has been taking over social media, but there’s just one problem—that brass ring in Cow’s nose is a tool of cruelty.

The meat and dairy industries use brass nose rings to exploit, control, and drag animals to their deaths. Workers stab the rings through cows’ and bulls’ sensitive septum and sometimes chain the ring to the bulls’ horns to cause even more pain.

Take a sec to unwind from that and get ready for the evilest thing you’ve ever heard: The dairy industry sometimes clips spiked nose rings on baby cows so that nursing hurts their moms and they’re rejected and kicked away. 😨 It’s a lot harder to have fun racing with that painful reminder on the screen.

The good news is, there’s a perfect and incredibly simple solution: Remove the nose ring. 🙏 Giving Cow this glow-up is a small change that can make a huge difference in how players think about animals.

Please urge Nintendo to leave the rings to Sonic and let Cow race freely! 🐮

Please Remove Cow’s Nose Ring

I urge you to please remove the brass ring from the character Cow’s nose in Mario Kart World. The meat and dairy industries use brass nose rings to exploit, control, and drag animals to their deaths. Workers stab the rings through cows’ and bulls’ sensitive septum and sometimes chain the ring to the bulls’ horns for even more pain-driven control.

The dairy industry even clips spiked nose rings on baby cows so that nursing hurts their moms and they’re rejected and kicked away. The brass ring in Cow’s nose is a painful reminder of the industries that treat real-life cows like machines.

That’s why I’m asking you to remove the nose ring: It’s a small change that can make a huge difference in how we see animals. Cow is an adorable character and deserves to race without a tool of cruelty on their face. Will you please show compassion to animals and let Cow breathe free?
