Thoughtful Thursday


So, as you all (should) know, from one of my first posts, I hate PETA with a passion. This Thoughtful Thursday will not be a rant about that, but instead about the dumbness of the name.

PETA = People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
This is good. This makes sense. Why, then, is the acronym pronounced "PEETA"? I mean, it's dumb. Because, when I hear "PEETA" I think of bread, not this organization. Here is my thought. Would "PET-Ah" not make a lot more sense? Because, then, it's like pet, as in your furry dog or cat. Which makes total sense.

But until the sensical name catches on, we have bread.

Peace, Gab
