PETA Activists Want People To Stop Using

[Aletheia4u]

Here they go again..




UK's chapter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sparked a face wave of controversy with their recent statement on February 5 saying the 'companion animals' are 'not pets'. According to PETA, usage of the word 'pet' can be 'harmful' or addressing the animals as 'it' instead an individual should use terms like 'dog guardian' and genders like 'he' or 'she'. The statement further adds that 'speciesist language' is 'harmful' and language should not 'trick' anyone into feeling that an animal is a 'human-owned object'.

They are my slaves. I own them. They bow before me.

Besides, anything that eats poop doesn't rate civil rights.

I wonder what they'd think of my edible pets life style....?

Companion animals are not pets. They are companions. They are family members.

What does PETA think of men who call women "my pet"?

 

[Blackrook]

Animals eat animals. What can PETA do to stop that?

Harmful??? The only way I can conceive it being harmful is if some PETA nut bashes somebody in with a bat.
Dogs happiness: Pets, scratches, food, treats, balls and sticks to fetch, walks and accompanying their owner/family member on trips in the car.
Cats happiness: Humans being subservient to them, when they allow it.
The term PET actually comes from the verb origin, to pet.

So PETA should have to change their name to A.
