Are YOU guilty of speciesism?!

Oh. For. Fucks. Sake. 🙄

That was adorable.

It's like listening to a toddler explain something on Kids Say the Darndest Things.

Hey, it worked for trans!

I agree with that thinking.

Only about 7% of snake species on the planet are venomous, yet so many humans have been self-conditioned to hate all snakes want to kill them no matter what. Same with spiders, which are almost entirely harmless and in fact quite helpful creatures to have around. Same goes for bats, which are mammals and nurse their young, yet are a symbol of Halloween and all things scary.

I like the idea of avoiding words that might reinforce disdain for any innocent creature. There are plenty of other words to use. Think about it. It isn't such a stupid idea, really.

I gotta agree with R4. We treat animals horribly, and the way we talk about them and each other should change. The terms.

I lacerated them on twitter.

Don't get me wrong. At first the post made me VERY EXCITED because it obviously meant that it was the 24th century and we had developed interspecies communication and Capt. Jean-Luc Picard was going to invite me on the Enterprise to analyze some gaseous anomalies many light years away!!

But then I realized it was 2021 and it was a profound waste of resources and some one at PETA was likely insane.

Insulting animals is unspeakably fowl.

The hen you say, r7!

My cat says my tone of voice is condescending. Re-education camp for me.

Instead of “pig” and “sloth”... just say “Sarah Sanders”.

Sloths were called sloths because of the word meaning slow and lazy already though.

Rex Harrison is posting on DL.

I agree with what PETA is doing, I just wish they would do it without sounding so incredibly silly. Humans treat animals poorly, but PETA treats humans poorly.

PETA treats animals far worse than almost any other people or organization. I do agree with the sentiment but fuck the messenger

PETA Announces Plan to Help Elect Republicans in 2022 & 2024

The typical "animal lover" only cares about pet cats and dogs. They feel nothing about the tormented lives and slaughter of pigs, cows, chickens and other animals exploited for their meat and dairy addictions.

I was going to post what R11 said. The animal sloth got its name because they were perceived (by speciesists, of course) to be slothful.

So what do we call "bears" now?

I don't know, R18, but that's a beautiful specimen!

AND STOP CALLING YOUR PETS PEOPLE NAMES LIKE “PROSTITUTION WHORE!”

"....like a dog"

I've never heard "snake" used for "jerk". .. "Jackass" would seem more appropriate.

"Snake" to me means someone underhanded or deceitful - a "backstabber."

I like the UK's use of the word "cow" for "a stupid, annoying woman."

I heard that Matthew "Sitler" Cawthorn crushes roaches with his wheelchair wheels while laughing maniacally.

Some things are worse than words.

Yes. I'm guilty.

I like otters.

I think it’s stupid to call criminals “animals” on comment sections. People are animals, and not very cute ones.

Nobody wants animals to be tortured. That said, PETA is fucking ridiculous and I'm sick to death of their stupid pronouncements on things.

[R26] Agreed!

I agree 💯 👍

Hm. i never thought of it at all, but i don't use any of those terms, honestly. i prefer to stick to asshole, dickhead...things of that nature.

PIG FUCKER!!

Upon the advice of my lawyers, I admit to being guilty of visiting this shining shitehole of vitriol and recipes.

Listen to you, you filthy mouthed mother fuckin' whore!

From now on I will just refer to assholes and idiots as, ‘PETA’.

I'm trans-suine which explains why I'm fat and pig-headed and makes me one of the most oppressed minorities EVER!

After divorce, I tell you things about pig.
