There's actually a real issue here, insofar as it raises the question of how much speech influences thought and whether or not the latter can be "adjusted" via targeted changes to the former.
But it's still stupid, imo.

Do you mind changing the thread title, please? It upsets me, in that it makes me think of a dog's tail being cut off or shortened against its will... Perhaps, "PETA moves to groom animal "hate speech" would be better.  |

One could argue that "Kill two birds with one stone" and "Beat a dead horse" are different beasts (not funny?), insofar as the former has a positive connotation while the latter has a negative one. Funnily enough, I'm seeing some point out on Twitter that feeding a bird a scone is actually bad for their health and can give them intestinal problems. Go figure.  |

And all this time I thought PETA stood for "People Eating Tasty Animals."

People should tell PETA that dog won't hunt. That they're barking mad. They might as well chase their own tail.
After all, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them think.

PETA is a religious cult, basically the vegan version of Westboro Baptist. Monumental stupidity like this is expected.
