I don’t consider whether something will offend or not before I say it. You take offence, you don’t give it.

I can see their point but I think it’s a bit extreme. Sayings naturally change overtime and I don’t think that can be forced.

I think some old sayings are quite odd, but we don’t tend to think about the words too much.

They are all old phrases and it’s just words.. no one actually does it or thinks about doing it when they say it. So petty…

  They are old phrases and sayings and as generations move forward they are losing relevance and being replaced by new phrases and sayings.

I’m a vegetarian since I was 11yrs old and have been vegan part of my life. I’ve never been offended by such language, it just shows a different opinion on how we view animals and how we use them.

I live in a regional area and phrases like these are very common. I really can’t see the vegans winning here anytime soon.

I really do not hear many of these sayings being used in everyday conversation.

This is just taking tings to the extreme. What nonsense.

Every time I read or hear something like this I can’t help but roll my eyes. It’s a saying, it’s been around for a very long time. People just like to get their knickers in a knot and complain about every little thing now days

Oh no! Unbelievable! This is pure exaggeration in my idea!

I have no issue with people being vegan but they really need to stop with this stupid stuff they are going on aboutnand stop getting so butt hurt over everything!!

I have nothing against Vegans except their need to push their beliefs onto everyone else.
I honestly don’t recall saying any of these recently or having heard them, but these are phrases people understand, it’s going to take a while for people to change

Oh please,

You can’t force these kinds of linguistic changes.

I have always hated the cat saying because in the past there has been some horrid cruelty to cats and some have looked as though either part or all of the skin was removed.

This is beyond stupid. These sayings have been around for ages without being considered offensive. And that’s aside from the fact that this is based off advice from PETA who are one of the worst offenders in animal cruelty.

7 billion people in the world and suddenly the majority have to tiptoe round the many many minorities. I’m all for everyone having their own beliefs but seriously do we have to pander to everyone/everything. That’s not being inclusive that being restrictive. What if I say I prefer the Greek pantheon of God’s so from now on u can only talk to me about that? It’s just not going to work and I, like most other people I am sure, will continue to use the old sayings and anyone who takes offence is gonna be offended

It is a saying from the past that no one takes to heart!

I can’t see them stop being used. No one actually skins cats it’s simply an expression.

I haven’t heard people saying them recently I think they are already not been used
