PETA has issued new guidelines for helping people remove what it has dubbed speciesism and anti-animal language from daily conversations.
Words matter, and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves along with it, reads a tweet on the official PETA Twitter account.
An accompanying chart gives several examples of common terms that PETA has dubbed offensive to animals alongside handy replacement phrases.

I can’t even pronounce it, let alone use it in a conversation.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat...but a 22-250 is the fastest.

Peta is offended by such talk, but I think it really depends on whose ox is being gored. I mean, if we want to stop offending, there is more than one way to skin a cat. So I say we shouldn’t chicken out, we should seize the bull by the horns, and just treat PETA like vermin that infest our home.

PETA wants a lot of things. I take none of it seriously. That being said, some of the naked ladies they bring out are cute.
To: albie
Negative on that. Instead, say:
"Im going shopping this weekend for deer.

speciesism sounds specious to me.
what’s that red wiggly line underneath it?
Hey peta, pleas feel free to ‘husband off!’ You are a bunch of husbanding husbanders, responsible for nothing but nit-wittery and husbandry.
