Apperently PETA is mourning over a fly that Obama swatted....
You gotta read this to believe it.

oh please go away peta

ROFL, those nutters must think the poor guy has nothing more important to be worrying about! Never mind the pandemic, never mind the war, never mind poverty...let's all worry about a damn FLY!

No wonder Temple Grandin has been able to bring about more changes in the way that animals are treated than PETA. She is actually willing to work with the industry for change rather than against every little slight to animals.

If PETA really wants to live the way they preach, I want them to live by a mosquito producing swamps where they are not allowed to use anything that kills or repels mosquitos. They also cannot kill them with their bare hands. I bet you they would not last 1 week before they swore off this every animal must live kick (provided they have enough blood in their system to actually be conscience when all is said and done.

Lol somebody get these people a hamburger for Pete's sake (whoever Pete is). I do put spiders outdoors but I will not waste my time trying to catch a fly humanely! The reason spiders get the preferential treatment is because they are the ones that take care of the pesky flies in the first place!

Duuude... a fly... it's like one of God's creatures maaan.... Can't go swatting it deeead...

In case you can't tell I'm being sarcastic. GO SPIDERS!! !

*Groans and face-palms*

I'm sorry PETA, but if a fly bothers me, and I get the chance, I will kill it. Otherwise it'll go around breeding and creating a mini swarm in the house. Geeze.

Am I to assume that PETA doesn't do anything about flea infestations on the dogs they keep in all those humane shelters? What about those too-often occasions when their founder gets a case of crabs, does she just let em be?

Just for argument sake, if a person where to suck the blood of a animal, PETA will go nuts, but if a mosquito sucks the blood of a person, they demand that you don't kill it.

So basically what they are saying is animals can do what they please to us, but we can't lay a hand on them.

The fact that this group has supporters is mystifying!

Spiders Rock! (unless they decide to make a web near my bed or bathroom-eww, creeps me out if I find one near the shower or toilet/only once in like five yrs.). Oh, please, PETA needs to be more realistic (stop direct abuse/torture of animals instead). Like them changing is going to happen (I think it is in human nature to resist all forms of change & admit your ego is to big to see solutions that are right in front of your face)! Obama can swat flies whenever he wants (expecting perfection is the epitome of being unrealistic). I like spiders, but think Spider Man movies are beyond corny (no offense 2 spidey fans). Prefer Star Wars (plus it encourages balance if you look at it from a weird philosophical point of view) & Wookies are cool (':nerdy:') (remind me somewhat of bears, save them not little annoying, buzzy flies)!

Sorry about bad spelling

The fly that B.O. slew bore a significant resemblance to John McCain. And the little fly was crying --- "help me, help me"----

<-- Checks to make sure it isn't April 1st...

The biggest risk PETA runs with this is that they're not picking their battles; this is generating the wrong kind of attention. They should be making headlines over puppy mills, inhumane slaughterhouses and cosmetics companies.

On a personal note, while I AGREE with the concept of releasing bugs back to the outside, I DISAGREE with shoving that philosophy onto someone else.

Yeah they need to start focusing on REAL animal rights issues. I mean how many animals are suffering every day because of people? And they're worried about a FLY?! Hmm maybe we should send Obama to court and find him guilty of 'flyicide'

Obvious marketing ploy by PETA to bring attention to a product which they probably have a vested interest in pushing.

Maybe some of us should beat PETA to the punch and start defending the rights of single celled organisms and get that coveted fat govt. stimulus money too. We could call it, People for the Ethical Treatment of Amoebas (PETA).
