香蕉视频直播楤ringing home the bacon香蕉视频直播� may be an iconic idiom about making money for some, but to PETA its one of several derogatory phrases that hurt animals and need to stop being repeated.

In its latest social media campaign, the animal-welfare activist group said Tuesday that 香蕉视频直播榮peciesism香蕉视频直播�, is similar to racist or homophobic comments, but for animals.

The campaign is asking people to swap out phrases like 香蕉视频直播楰ill two birds with one stone香蕉视频直播�, for 香蕉视频直播榝eed to birds with one scone香蕉视频直播�.

香蕉视频直播楾ake the bull by the horns香蕉视频直播�, a common phrase meaning to deal with a difficult or dangerous situation bravely, should be replaced by 香蕉视频直播榯ake the flower by the thorns香蕉视频直播�, PETA said.

Words matter, and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves along with it. Here香蕉视频直播檚 how to remove speciesism from your daily conversations.

香蕉视频直播淛ust 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 香蕉视频直播榖ringing home the bagels香蕉视频直播� instead of the bacon,香蕉视频直播� the organization said.

The campaign has gotten mixed reviews, including one Twitter user named Arthur Emswell suggesting that a bird is more likely to survive having a stone thrown at it than eating a scone.

Why are you being anti-plant? Plants have as much rights as animals.

I see things wrong with this already:

Birds , I香蕉视频直播檓 sure don香蕉视频直播檛 like scones;

People of a certain age might have been conceived in a test tube;

Don香蕉视频直播檛 over feed a horse, otherwise it香蕉视频直播檒l be obese;

Bagels, only if they are gluten free;

Not all flowers have thorns;

I don香蕉视频直播檛 eat meat, I care for my own animals & all the beasties in my wildlife friendly garden. I香蕉视频直播檝e driven many miles to get rescued critters to safety & I profoundly loathe any mistreatment of animals. But this is utterly absurd, you sound foolish & it undermines your good work.
