It occurs to me that part of the requirement for any verbal phrase to be considered offensive, is that the target is capable of being offended by said words. I cannot remember the last time an untamed critter was upset because I referred to it as a 'wild animal' in passing.
As a matter of fact -- I bet any of you with a dog can string a bunch of insults together, and as long as you use your 'Such a good dog !' voice, your pooch will wag its tail just as joyfully as if you were heaping on genuine praise. Go ahead... Do it- You'll see.
Anyway, this is almost as stupid as PETA's campaign against seafood by re-branding fish as 'sea kittens'....because, you wouldn't eat a kitty, would you ? ( insert big doe-eyed fish graphic here )
'Save the Sea Kittens' ? -- more like 'Savor the Sea Kittens'
