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.
