In college, I learned about all the nuances about the things we say. I'm not sure I agree that everything that people say that is homophobic, transphobic, or ableist is actually so, but I guess words can have a certain meaning to people and this is something we should be aware of. But if we're going to have a discussion about words like "stupid" are ableist, we might as well talk about the elephant in the field: Anti-animal, speciesist phrases.

Wake up, people. All the time we are using words and phrases that promote animal abuse and suffering and we don't even think about it. Thankfully, PETA has made this wonderful list of alternative phrases we can use that are not offensive to animals and animal lovers. Take a look.

I think that we can all take the time to think about animals and how the words we use when talking about them or using them in our language affects them. Don't be cruel to animals, whether physically or verbally.

PETA is such an amazingly horrific organization I believe it has to be satire in order to retain my sanity

I'll follow these guidelines when PETA stops euthanizing the vast majority of animals that end up in their shelters.

Take the flower by the thorns?

One grabs the bull by the horns because that is the direct head on approach to bring it down.

Grabbing a flower by the thorns is just stupid and doesn't convey any sense of directness or tackling a problem head on mentality.

PETA should feel bad that this is something that they spent effort on. I'm embarrassed for thek.

LJA, you're beating a dead horse here. You should take the bull by the horns and come up with new ways of trolling Board 8. Doing so would kill two birds with one stone.
