PETA's marketing team had a serious win yesterday after releasing their chart of alternatives to "anti-animal language." If you missed this, check out our post here. The reactions and trolling have been hilarious, and now people are creating their own memey parodies of the chart. And guess what? They're damn good.

It's no secret that people love to hate on PETA, but today that pastime is more popular than ever. The hardcore animal rights association took to Twitter yesterday to fight against what they call "anti-animal language" - and provided a handy chart on how to substitute ancient aphorisms with more animal-friendly terminology. The chart, as you can imagine, is wholly ridiculous.
Twitter users were quick to jump on PETA for suggestions like "Feed two birds with one scone" in lieu of "Kill two birds with one stone." Their trolling attempts have been ridiculously entertaining. We've included some of our favorite tweets, but for even more fun you can peruse the thread here.
Jimmy's Famous Seafood decided to live on the wild side over the past few days and go completely off the rails with their official business Twitter account. They started out taunting PETA with pics of their food and went on to savagely roast random people who dared comment on the tweets. Whoever's in charge of Jimmy's social media accounts sure was feeling pretty darn sassy!
PETA has almost always been a controversial animal rights organization. On the surface, their mission is completely agreeable. Is anyone against the ethical treatment of animals? The truth is that when you dig deeper, as this Tumblr thread reveals, PETA's practices are the complete opposite of moral or ethical. This is a very, very sobering reminder that one should always look into an organization's methods before supporting them.
