"Words matter," PETA tweeted Tuesday.
They obviously haven't considered a backlash from birds who will accuse them of cultural appropriation.

Snowflake is a stupid term. It means left winger who doesn't subscribe to Trump's view that anything he disagrees with is fake news. The opposite is 'Broflake' which describes the usual arrangement of Holocaust deniers, and men who think its' OK to give the missus the occasional slap.
Peta, however, are indeed a bunch of clowns. As I (who have been involved in animal/medical research for nearly 40 years) always say, if you would refuse giving medicine that would save the life of your dying child because it was discovered via animal research (which nearly all medicines are - the rest were found by luck) then I would respect you piety (albeit I would call you an insane child killing **** as well). Otherwise, Peta and their like are just sick weirdos, delusional fact-deniers, or people making money out of the mugs who give money to them.
And....exhale.

If you "Feed a fed horse" as they suggest then the horse will become overweight and have health problems and end up dying prematurely. Plus if you cant feed bread to birds as its not good for them then why is a scone any different?
Almost as stupid as this idea PETA had https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...-west-country-village-reduce-cruelty-to-sheep

No one likes PETA, even the majority of Vegans dislike them.

Need an alternative for 'the elephant in the room' too. How about 'the unwelcome bunch of nut-job extremist loons in the room'?

Don’t get too excited about this - one day they’ll all grow up.

That's right about feeding a fed horse. If you do overfeed it and it dies, how could you possibly sell it
Whilst we're on the subject of the animal kingdom, how did two dozen Turdus merula find their voice after being cooked?

Don't think PETA should be totally dismissed as a bunch of loonies. Some of their 'demands' are IMO are good BUT I think they are doing themselves major harm by this campaign and the one about the village called Wool. I suspect there are others as well where you have to ask whether they are doing more harm than good.
One could argue it keeps the organisation and its principles in the public eye...

There are some absolute loons at PETA, they shouldn’t really be taken notice of when it comes to nonsense like this.
