Joe Biden has done his best to appease all of the lefty lunatic fringe special interest groups, but he may have run afoul of PETA with his tendency to call people “dog-faced pony soldiers.” The pseudo-animal rights group is demanding an end to animal “racism slurs” used to insult people. Maybe “racial slurs” is the wrong term here but this is so bat-sh*t crazy I don’t know what to call them.
Insulting someone who isn’t gay by saying they are gay is considered a homophobic slur so maybe insulting a human with an animal name is beastophobic. I don’t know, but here’s the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) manufacturing some outrage over it:
Words can create a more inclusive world, or perpetuate oppression.
Calling someone an animal as an insult reinforces the myth that humans are superior to other animals & justified in violating them.

Well, humans are superior to animals. We walk upright, wear pants, and invented the Snuggie. It’s not a myth.
Also, the animal sloth was named after the deadly sin of laziness. It may be an insult to sloths, but the word existed for humans way before it was applied to the species.
Plus, PETA missed a bunch of stuff:
An ugly woman is a “dog” while an attractive woman is a “fox.”
An unpleasant woman is a “bitch” or a “shrew”
A lowlife is a “mongrel” or a “cur.”
A horny guy is a “tomcat.”
A mooch is a “leach.”
An opportunistic scumbag is a “vulture.”
A horrible person is a “jackal.”
Ironically, an asshole can be either a “cock” or a “pecker.”
An obese person is a “porker.”
A dumb person is a “dodo.”
A blowhard know-it-all dipshit is a “jackass” and it’s not a coincidence that democrats chose this as their mascot.
PETA is also murky about whether or not it is acceptable to call someone a “chickenshit” or a “ratf*ck.” I’m guess it’s not, but they didn’t specify.
The biggest reason why this is one of the dumbest things ever is, animals don’t speak or understand human language. Sure, dogs can learn certain commands but they don’t get the structure or nuances of the way we communicate. Animals are not insulted when we insult each other using animal names because they simply don’t have the capacity to be offended like everyone at PETA.
Try this experiment: Go tell your cat he’s a lazy worthless flea-ridden piece of shit. He’s going to give you the same look as if you said “who’s a handsome boy?” Then, just to make sure, go cuss out your goldfish. Animals can’t be insulted.
PETA refers to all of this as “supremacist language” like it’s a bad thing that people rightly believe they are superior to creatures who roll in shit and lick their own assholes. We’re at the top of the food chain for a reason and the fact that we are there proves we’re superior.
