PETA has once again opened the floodgates for them to be dunked on on Twitter. This one seems particularly strange.
Words can create a more inclusive world, or perpetuate oppression.
Calling someone an animal as an insult reinforces the myth that humans are superior to other animals & justified in violating them.

Is it really better to call someone a coward instead of a chicken? Calling someone repulsive seems far meaner than saying that they’re a pig. This tweet is rooted in the right place. We understand what PETA is trying to do. That being said, we think this misses the mark a little bit. What do you think? Sound off on Facebook and let us know if PETA is onto something or if you’re tired of seeing more words that you’re not supposed to say.
