Peta has published this list of "friendship" and Internet languages can not stop laughing
They really jumped the shark on this one!
Tuesday, Peta has published a list of idioms adapted to the animals that we should use to replace idioms of everyday condescending or aggressive animals. "Kill two birds with a stone" thus becomes "feeding two birds with a scone", "" "Beat a dead horse" becomes "feeding a horse nourished" and "take the bull by the horns" becomes "take a flower by the thorns . "
The words import and, as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves with it. Here's how to eliminate the species of your daily conversations.pic.twitter.com/o67ebba7h4

In the accompanying legend, the organization of animal rights argued that "important words, and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves with it. Here's how to eliminate the species of your daily conversations". The species, for the report, is a term often used by animal rights defenders who describe discriminatory behavior towards animals on the basis of their species. So, PETA's argument is that the use of these idioms is just as offensive as "racist, homophobic or capable".
Many social media users have been scandalized by the idea that a sentence like "being guinea pig" was comparable to racist, sexist or homophobic insults.
And even if some thought that replacement sentences were a little intelligent ...
... and who bring home the bagels especially has a lot of potential ...
... the most agreed that they were nice of ridiculous.
As original idioms, a lot of replacement do not look like very good ideas. Why would you feed a horse that was already nourished? The obesity of animals is not a joke, Peta!
The birds should not really eat a scone, not to mention two.
And catch a flower with its spines seems to be a very poor choice of life.
It should also be noted that many daily idioms have no meaning and many of them have macabre backrests.
Perhaps we should just replace them?
Or just stop using them at all. Better yet, just justCommunicate only via emoji!
