PETA: 'Stop Using Anti-Animal Language'

[schwank05]

I just cant take these people seriously. People Eat meat, get over it.

[Kaver]

"Feed a fed horse"?????

WHAT! Are Peta encouraging us to force feed a horse? Evil Bastards. That's Animal cruelty!

[Lanfall]

I bring home the bacon every other Friday. We should ask PETA to stop beating the dead horse and just accept that not everyone is a vegan.

Anyone else think itd be nice if this was a real debate, so instead of debating whether its ok for people to say ' the white race is superior and i want ti exterminate all other races" to intstead debate whether or not animal words are offensive because humans came to a global consensus that genocide was inherently wrong? if only

[exochaft]

The big difference between this and other cultural/social norms that evolve over time, is that we are omnivores. As such, we were designed and built to eat meat.
It's healthy for us to get a certain amount of the enzymes and proteins we do from meat.
That isn't a cultural or social thing at all. That's biology.

Sadly, this is the crux of the problem when it comes to many societal trends nowadays: biology is passed off as a cultural/social construct, which is lunacy. Comes up quite often in gender hot topics, too, where biology must be discarded because it's a construct of <insert bogeyman>. With respect to the idiom in the OP's quote, again it's super similar to the Christmas songs getting banned due to idioms, where the real meaning behind the benign idioms is discarded in favor of outrage with nonsensical dribble as reasoning.

[Gestopft]

Hold up.

PETA is still a thing? I thought we stopped paying attention to animal rights when shit got real for humans in 2008

I'm not trying to say we CAN'T redefine how we want to live culturally, or what we want to call things.
I'm just saying that this particular instance of a group trying to push societal change through language is really absurd due to the fact that we are omnivores.
I have no problems with anyone defining their gender as what they feel comfortable with. It's their sex that is set in stone, and is the biological part. Gender is more a mental or cultural construct, as plenty of societies through the ages have had some form of 'third' gender/social class outside the man/woman norm.

But eating meat?
Nah fam, that's ingrained in us cause it's healthy for us.
No change of language will ever modify that.

[Mister Cheese]

I like this one better.

[Xandrigity]

Surely the guys at PETA have bigger fish to fry.

I see what you did there, well played.

Yea, isn’t forcefeeding and overfed horse animal cruelty?

[Hobbidaggy]

I used to really respect and like peta but that are just being a bit too much now. They used to stand for something good and proper. Prevention of animal cruelty now they seem to be struggling to stay relevant as more people have adopted their message of no more cruelty and they are scrambling to find new things to attack. Go back to being outraged at rabbits being sprayed with perfume or having lipstick rubbed on their skin to see reactions and less about stop saying mean things to animals

[Xandrigity]

The best response was senator Hatch eating bacon on Twitter.

[Oneirophobia]

I think you mean you feel like a dish out of butter

Not a bird out of scones?

[Kellorion]

I’m really heavy pro animals but really who cares about anti animal speech? Hell I tend to insult my dog to his face and just use a voice so
He thinks I’m praising him.

my cat is a half lynx, half racoon drunk toilet drinking like said drunk excitable goofball, so yea
=D

[FeinHammer]

Fickle things like this seem to crowd out legitimate concerns about animal cruelty and safety which directly relate to public health

[Rennadrel]

When do we reach the bottom of the stupid well?! Why does it have to be so deep?!

We've gotten rid of all the Darwinism and natural selection. Stupid people are allowed to live and they wind up breeding more stupid people.

I got a chuckle actually


I am all for taking flowers by the thorns I am sure they'll hurt a lot less than a bulls horns :P

I personally make up words all the time, but I found this pretty comical. On a fun scale I can probably come up with many alternatives just for fun lol

'BRING HOME THE BAGELS?! WHAT IF I HAVE A GLUTEN ALLERGY!?'

Seriously, PETA should just shut up. They've not said nor done much of use lately.
