Refer to animals as:

Sentient beings, farm animals, he/him, she/her, they/them, fishes, sheeps, cows, chickens, turkeys, ducks, camels, individuals.

Replace idioms that normalize violence towards animals with better ones like “feed two birds with one scone”

    I like this one, I will do next time I read a wikipedia article including animals, probably each time I see it from now on, I don’t read wikipedia as much as I used to but its a cool rebellious idea, I can just imagine the debates with wikipedia moderators after it sparks an edit war

      We the people can always change the language to more accurately reflect reality, I’m also considering emailing the major dictionary publications to include vegan terms in their prints.
