PETA relentlessly mocked after asking people to stop using 'anti-animal language' to reduce 'speciesism'
A post asking people to replace age-old English idioms with animal-friendly alternatives was not met well by netizens
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have often been mocked on social media for some of their suggestions in the past, and their most recent promotion looks set to be one of those. In a recent post the animal rights organization claimed was aimed at reducing and eliminating "speciesism," they asked readers to stop using certain age-old "anti-animal" English idioms in favor of newer, modern alternatives.
To the haters: with so much negativity in the world, why not lighten up and use language in a way that encourages being kind to animals? 😻
