Outgoing statesman and Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) responded via video to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA) call on social media for an end to the use of negative idioms about animals, such as “bring home the bacon.”
The video posted on Twitter shows Hatch eating bacon, with a soundtrack that suggests the pleasure of dining on that pork favorite.

The thread accompanying the tweet shows his followers appreciated his response and taunted PETA for its posting.
As Breitbart News reported, PETA wants to end what it calls “speciesism,” or using animal names in sayings such as “beat a dead horse” or “take the bull by the horns.”
“Words matter, and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves along with it,” PETA posted on its Twitter account on Tuesday, comparing these saying to racist and homophobic language.

God forbid some rogue group of photographers name ridicule some poor species by naming themselves after a particularly ugly animal. Those little hogs will be most offended.

And, Merry Christmas back to you, GeneV. Yup, Liberalism happened. I do find it refreshing that we hear far less of it now that we have a president with balls....and especially now that the (Anti-American) family that squatted in the nation's White House, are now long gone!
In the case of PETA......Perhaps we should all cower in the fetal position in our private safe place until the bacon clears?

This has started something This morning I had a subpoena come through my letterbox saying the local hedgehogs are accusing me of defamation of character. A small group of hedgehogs assembled just outside my front door with raised placards saying "We are not Ugly every creature is beautiful" Behind them were a few slugs protesting at my use of slug pellets and behind them a posse of rabbits and assorted creatures all protesting about my past road kill exploits. I decided to sell up and leave the country and go to Russia where they don't give a rat's a*s about Political Correctness.

PETA had a billboard in Baltimore, MD, stating that we should stop eating crabs. With that seafood being a staple in the Baltimore diet, you can probably imagine how well that went over!!

If you want to post political, racist bullshit take it to the Attic. This section is for humor, not partisan crap.

My take on this is that we have too much to eat. When you are starving and focus on finding food, you have less time to think up stoopid things to complain about. Instead of complaining about bacon, you just hunt pigs.

So tired of the PC crowd. I'm also a member of PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals (They were put here as food, clothing, and companionship. Emphasis on FOOD)

While I agree with many of the thoughts here, I can't believe you people don't have anything better to argue about.
