PETA’s campaign to stop anti-animal language sparked a new meme

PETA’s ridiculed campaign inspired a glorious new meme. 

The animal’s rights group was heavily criticized for comparing “anti-animal” idioms to racism, homophobia, and other discriminatory language. Along with their terrible opinion, PETA posted a list of very serious alternatives for “anti-animal language.” 

Hilarious examples include “Take a flower by the thorns” instead of “Take the bull by the horns,” as if people could say that with a straight face.

And because the internet can’t take anything seriously, PETA’s attempt at comparing human suffering to using animals in poetic license is now a meme. From petitions to stop using “anti-Bird” language to quoting the Star Wars prequels, Twitter and Reddit users are trying to make our world a more inclusive place for all fandoms.  

Despite being a meme, PETA is pushing forward with its anti-animal campaign. It recently changed its Twitter name to the bizarrely long “PETA: Bringing Home The Bagels Since 1980.”
