That article really opened my eyes here. To the families of all of the flies that I've killed in my life, from the deepest depths of my heart, I have to say "I'm VERY sorry and I hope you can find it within yourselves to forgive me, I was ignorant and didn't know any better".

Jman · 06-18-2009, 07:56 AM

I use to respect Peta's work... but now they are just a bunch of whinners with nothing good to do.

Sad how something that once had a social commitment can become such a joke.

Seriously?

I wanna see more naked PETA bitches.

What a fucking joke, Obama should send them some fly swatters for their offices.

Definitely some wackos at peta these days.

Don't they have a puppy mill or fur coat store to protest or something?

A stupid fly...jeezus!

How small-minded are these people?

alias · 06-18-2009, 08:15 AM

Guys, this is just brilliant mass media press release spam for someone's stupid bug catcher device. It's all over everywhere already and they all have the device name.

Props for the trick style.

CDSmith · 06-18-2009, 08:20 AM

Flies spread diseases and germs and hang out on piles of rotting shit when given the chance.

And PETA, although they do a lot of good, also spread a lot of stupidity with raising moronic issues like this. What's next, picketing all cities that still fog for mosquitoes? Yeah, better to have 10,000 new cases of West Nile Virus every year, great plan.

PETA = fail.

UFGators2007 · 06-18-2009, 08:25 AM

Seriously? How the fuck can people even respect PETA when they come out with this.

Vicious_B · 06-18-2009, 08:26 AM

PETA is down right ridiculous sometimes. I thought it was a joke when I first heard them talking about it on the radio.

candyflip · 06-18-2009, 08:44 AM

An interesting bit of info about PETA is that they take in unwanted or unable to be cared for pets via rescue service they operate.

99% of all animals they take in are put down. They make no effort to rehome these animals.

I was impressed with the Prez's reflexes.

Wouldn't it have been funny if a long serpents tongue came out of Obama's mouth and caught the fly...

It cracks me up how proud Obama was of his kill that he wanted to display his trophy to the cameras. Probably ought to mount and stuff that bad boy, as a reminder of the day that he single-handedly protected the White House from an aerial attack...

I've read this about them time and time again. Chances are they kill more animals than any other organization in the country. Smooth.

biskoppen · 06-18-2009, 10:06 AM

When does an animal become worth so little that you can kill it just because it's annoying you?

Let's draw a line here..

An ant?
A fly?
A mouse?
A cat?
A dog?

If you can't kill a dog because it's annoying why can you then kill a fly?

Choopa Phil · 06-18-2009, 10:07 AM

survival of the fittest, its not like were breeding flies to have a swatting competition, this is just rediculous

I'm pretty sure that Kimbo Slice could see you in the same way... and obviously him killing you shouldn't be a problem.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 06-18-2009, 10:26 AM

What is PETA's actual position on Obama and the Fly (from peta.org yesterday):

Quote:

Well, I guess it can't be said that President Obama wouldn't hurt a fly. The commander in chief was recently pestered by a fly during an interview. He swatted at the insect and killed the little guy instantly.

Believe it or not, we've actually been contacted by multiple media outlets wanting to know PETA's official response to the executive insect execution.

In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.

If all this has you wondering how you can be a bigger person (figuratively, as well as literally) in your dealings with exoskeletal beings, check out our handy-dandy bug catcher?one of which we are sending to President Obama for future insect incidents.

I can tell you from personal experience that it sure came in handy the other day, when one of my cats was chasing the World's Largest Palmetto Bug around the house.

Today's follow-up from Peta.org:

Quote:

Because we've heard from so many people who want to know more about PETA's position on "Flygate," we've decided to explore the question of "to bee or not to bee" in a bit more depth.

As we all know, human beings often don't think before they act. We don't condemn President Obama for acting on instinct. When the media began contacting us in droves for a statement, we obliged, simply by saying that the president isn't the Buddha and shouldn't be expected to do everything right?if not for that, we would not have brought it up.

It's the media who are making a big deal about the fly swat?not PETA. However, we took the opportunity, when asked, to point out that we do offer lots of ways in which to control insects of all kinds without harming them, including the humane bug catcher we sent President Obama. There is even a chapter in PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk's book Making Kind Choices about how to rid your home of "uninvited guests."

We have lots of other items on our agenda, as you can imagine, and PETA's focus will remain on our core issues?promoting alternatives to eating animals, opposing fur and products made from animal skin, opposing laboratories that torment animals, and fighting the abuse of animals in circus training camps as well as other overt abuses that fall within our mission statement, which states that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.

We support compassion for all animals, even the most curious, smallest, and least sympathetic ones. We hope that everyone will take inspiration from Nobel Peace Prize?winner Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who believed that even insects were deserving of compassion and who would stop to move a worm from hot pavement to cool earth.

Aware of the problems and responsibilities that go along with an expanded ethical code, Schweitzer said that we each must "live daily from judgment to judgment, deciding each case as it arises, as wisely and mercifully as we can."

We can't stop all suffering, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't stop any. Our wish is for all people to act wisely and mercifully toward animals.

Since so many commented on the Faux News article, I thought it would be fair and balanced to show what was actually posted on the PETA website.

Here in the great USA all life is worth so little. People kill people for the stupidest shit. But i've never heard of someone getting arrested for killing a fly,mouse or mosquito. All which are known for carrying disease. And yes if there's a fly on the screen door I'll open it and let it out. But if i'm sitting down and a fly keeps buzzing around my head after repeated attempts to shoo it off, that shit eater is going down by either fly swatter or scraficed to the spider outside

no no no, people don't want balance ;-)

my girlfriend is a pretty hardcore card carrying PETA member and I was busting her chops about the fly incident...she told me to read for myself the PETA statement. At least she isn't like the nutjobs who only want to save the "cute" animals.

It gets tougher and tougher to eat burgers around her though... ;-)

That is only the beginning of the hypocrisy at PETA.

They essentially are a business masquerading themselves as an animal rights group, playing on the emotions of people that care about their fluffy cat Winky.
