"Just as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are and start 'bringing home the bagels' instead of the bacon," PETA said on Twitter.

Sounds more reasonable in PETA's words tbqh

ok first of all, they're not trying to stifle it

but also PETA has a troubling history of comparing cattle to enslaved humans, when it has often gone the other way as an attempt to dehumanize people

Especially when you're actually not suppose to . . .
Feed wild animals.
Feed them complex carbs.

Giving them an unnatural diet is a form of animal cruelty.

It's not a good thing when the highest profile animal rights organization is a fucking joke. Yes, there's the WWF and a few other good ones but little shitty PR things like this matter.

In what should be it's truest sense, social justice needs to be a bout equality. Not everything can be truly equal, nor should everything be, but we should get as close as reasonable.

Somewhere along the line, I can't deny that changing the way people speak did crop up in the agenda, tho.

That's definitely true. I agree that more conservation efforts need to be backed, and the layperson is more likely to lump PETA in with conservation groups rather than a movement dedicated (lmao) to animal rights and liberation.

Animals can't understand human language like that, therefore this language isn't to protect the sensibilities of animals, rather it is language to protect humans who are concerned with animal well-being, which makes them not at all comparable.

PETA is really, really dumb.

the point is to not trivialize animal abuse / cruelty / murder like its nothing. it IS taking lives, after all.

whether or not you agree with the point is a different issue, but the point isn't "not to hurt animals' feelings"

But that's the thing. You can't compare it to racism or homophobia because those ARE specifically for the people in question. The main reason why racist language is important not to say is not because it trivializes the sufferings of minorities, it is because it belittles those people.

Therefore comparing language directed at animals and people is no way at all comparable, and it's silly.
