PETA wants people to stop using age-old idioms that it believes are ?? ??? ?? ??rooted in "speciesism" and "anti-animal language."

SEE ALSO: Graphic PETA campaign draws angry backlash from Aussie farmersPETA suggested alternatives to idioms that frequently crop up in common parlance. Things like beating a dead horse, which PETA thinks should be replaced with "feed a fed horse."
Instead of bringing home the bacon, we should be bringing home the bagels, apparently. And, rather than taking the bull by the horns, we should be taking the flower by the thorns. IDK, that last one sounds kinda painful.
