I enjoyed a delicious chicken soft taco from a local Mexican joint for lunch today and told my wife afterward that IT was good.  And then I read about this:

PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is calling for a more animal-friendly update to the Bible.  The group is asking translators of the New International Version (NIV) to remove what it calls “speciesist” language and refer to animals as “he” or “she” instead of “it.”

Bruce Friedrich, PETA’s vice president for policy, told CNN that “language matters. Calling an animal ‘it’ denies them something. They are beloved by God. They glorify God.  God’s covenant is with humans and animals. God cares about animals.”  Friedrich is also a vegan and suggests the Bible promotes vegetarianism.

So, I called my wife back and told her that I enjoyed a delicious chicken soft taco from a local Mexican joint for lunch today.  I told her that HE was very good.
