People for the Ethical Treatment of animals, or PETA, is an animal rights organization. PETA wants to replace common anti-animal sayings with new phrases. Instead of saying "kill two birds with one stone," for example, why not say "feed two birds with one scone"? The next time you're about to say "don't let the cat out of the bag," how about saying "don't spill the beans," instead?
