PETA Wants To Stop Anti-Animal Language So Everyone’s Roasting Them
PETA took to Twitter today in an attempt to redirect the general public’s disposition toward “anti-animal language” by posting a list of popular phrases and idioms that we should be substituting with less speciest verbiage.

The tweet did numbers, largely because bringing home the bagels is objectively funny, and also because in the grand scheme of human history – people don’t really like being told what to say. So instead of obeying PETA, here’s a bunch of people who just decided to make fun of them instead.

Aww hug the books
Just as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialise cruelty to books will vanish as more people appreciate books for what they are. pic.twitter.com/PDDdmgyO8o
