Fly Murderer

Obama swatted a fly the other day at the White House, now the group PETA is saying he shouldn’t have kill that nasty litte creature. Flys carry disentary and all sorts of disease. Does anyone out there agree with me that this world has gone crazy? Is this carrying the cruelty to animals too far? When we place the value of a fly above that of an unborn child we have lost it.

This is a head line on the internet today:

WASHINGTON — The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he’s bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

“We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals,” PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. “We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”

Answer #1

Maybe it would have been better if the guy had killed to fly and tried to getaway with dumping it in a bin. Oh wait a minute, is not that what PETA did with cats and dogs? I could never be accused of liking obama nor his group. However, give the guy a break. It’s a fly. I can’t tell you how many of the buggers I have killed simply because they bite and/or bother my horses.

Answer #2

lol I don’t watch the news. That’s pretty funny. I wonder how many spiders they have squished or how many ants they have stepped on.

Answer #3

It’s all over the news? he swatted it during a taped interview… it was actually quite cool…

lol, well every side has its crazies, I’ll take the left nuts over the right nuts any day…

Answer #4

It really isn’t difficult to find trash on a president. Just look at any policy and someone is getting screwed. In Obama’s case he has flown free of that, but the media hasn’t focused a ton on his plans and what he has sent to congress.

The people seem pretty much blind/don’t care what he does because he is “better” than Bush was. Granted, I am not praising the former president at all. Frankly I don’t see how Obama could be worse, but that does not mean I agree with his policies. The issue really is what will spin people up? Telling people that Obama’s financial plan is ludicrous along with citing reasons it is so does not seem to spring people into action.

I won’t go into what I think needs to change or issues I have with the current administration, but there are better things to talk about than him killing a fly. I’d have given him more credit if he caught it with chopsticks.

Answer #5

I wonder how many fly swatters peta owns. What would happen if I were to send a big box full of flies to them.

Answer #6

I would like to call for a government inspection of the radiator grilles of all the PETA members vehicles and count how many insect victims have been splatted by them on their way to deliver the “live bug traps”

PETA IS INSANE.

Answer #7

People really need to stop trying to govern the simple acts of everyone else…if he had killed a child, that’s a problem, but a fly?

Consider, however, that I feel all life is precious (including that of a fly - I don’t kill them), but people need to start looking at themselves and seeing how noble and perfect they are before passing judgment on others.

I don’t kill insects - my neighour does…I leave him to his business, he leaves me to mine…too simple a concept for many people.

As far as Obama goes, I think people are just desperate to find trash on him…looks bad on them.

Answer #8

thats the most dumbest stupidest thing I’ve ever heard! flies are pest they carry disease why do you think god made spiders? to eat flies! ha ha…wow

Answer #9

I think I’s totslly riduculous and stupid. I KIL FLIES ALL THE TIME! they carry disease sometimes. people at the store SELL fly swatters so that people CAN KILL FLIES!!! people are totally throwing it out of proportion. it;s stupid.

Answer #10

LOL…That’s PETA for ya…I love it when they make these kind of statements.

Not to mention…since when did flies go from being an insect to animals…You’d think PETA could a least put the little pest in the right catagory…

p

Answer #11

Common sense is dead…speechless - wonder if the ACLU is considering a lawsuit for no miranda rights either !…or a NOW statement (could have been a female)…if only there could be a little concern for the unborn - silence there is deafening…could go on but you get the drift.

Answer #12
