Mafia Wars adds ferocious animals to your family arsenal

Mafia Wars finally releases attack animals as a part of your mafia's arsenal, a move that will most likely have PETA up in arms ... again. Whether you like it or not, you will now be able to acquire and use animals to get a leg up on the competition in fights and robbing.

To see what animals are in your arsenal, head to your Inventory and click on the new Animal tab to see what animals are included. You'll be able to buy a Red Tailed Hawk (25A, 22D) for 300,000 coins and can spend Reward Points for a handful of new (and returning) animals in the store.
