Killing hookers and blowing up policemen? No big deal.

But cutting off the heads of animals? Now we have a problem!

"The makers of this game have traded decency for money. Encouraging the darkest impulses of young people is not an admirable pursuit," Carone says, adding that "animals don’t need any more targets painted on them in the name of fun."

The murder of animals is not a new Grand Theft Auto feature, but with the latest version clearing $1 billion in just three days on the market, perhaps this organization has finally taken notice.

So, you tell us: Should there be a boycott of Grand Theft Auto V?
