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.

These people need some serious medical intervention.

[PGR88]

Got it. I will never use the word “speciesism” again.

[albie]

Is it ok to say...”I’m going hunting this weekend for deer”?

[Carriage Hill]

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

[occamrzr06]

I’m going to remove Peta from my vocabulary.

[rktman]

I could recommend an injection.

[alloysteel]

Well, son of a bi-, oops is that one of the words now prohibited?

[rktman]

I’m gonna remove peta...... would have sufficed. But then someone would be in trouble or something so don’t do it.

Beef stroganoff for dinner tonight. Not to worry...fruit to follow...a nice burgundy.

Isnt’ this an advertisement? Yes, I think so. Isn’t there an FR policy against advertisement?

[oldasrocks]

I still prefer the old— People Eating Tasty Animals.

[FatherofFive]

Show me one animal that cares.

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.

[cuban leaf]

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.

[Carriage Hill]

Negative on that. Instead, say:

"I’m going shopping this weekend for deer”.

[petro45acp]

“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.

In other words, we believe and practice Owellian control of the language.

By controlling the words you use, we control you!

PETA [money grubbing] = PITA.
