PETA: Insults Like “Pig,” “Sloth” Hurt Animals
Answers in Genesis ^ | 2-8-21 | Ken Ham

Is insulting someone by calling them a “pig,” “sloth,” or “chicken” actually insulting animals? Well, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) seems to think so! In a recent tweet, they shared an infographic with alternative words to common animal-based insults such as snake (try “jerk” instead), rat (“snitch”), or pig (“repulsive”). They ask that people use these alternatives because “using animals as insults perpetrates speciesism.”

I would think oysters are apoplectic over the renaming of Aunt Jemima to Pearl Milling Company.

That’s just sad...

Also, PETA are a bunch of loons.

What am I going to call my piggies now? The ones that go to market and the ones who stay home and eat roast beef? Is saying “wee wee wee all the way home” out now?

Sloths probably high-five each other over the fact that they are the only species that has one of the Seven Deadly Sins named after it.

It's only a problem if the animal in question understands English. How to find out? Ask them a question in English and if they give you an intelligible answer, they understand English.

I have to agree that calling some democrat politicians pigs is an insult to pigs.

In today’s society, how about “leech” or “parasite”?

43 “Now when the unclean spirit comes out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.

44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.

45 Then it goes and brings along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they come in and live there; and the last condition of that person becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”

Does seem to be getting worse in this country lately.

On another thread i made a sarcastic comment about the Edmondton Eskimos changing their name.

Said that teams named after animals disrespected animals and also shouldn’t be done and asked “Where’s PETA?”

Guess maybe that’s next.
