What PETA said about Obama killing the fly yesterday

[blue fluff]

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."

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.

"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."

Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.

Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."

Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.

Wouldn't that be inhumane to relocate a house fly into an outside fly's territory? Now there will be fly on fly violence all started by PETA.

Blasted, I just came back to the office and when I opened the door an outside fly got inside. Now they're at war in my office. I don't know for sure which one is the outside fly. I don't want to catch the inside fly and send him out. What should I do?

I need a web address with pictures so I can identify the outside fly. Does anyone have one? If not how about a number to PETA ?

hahaha, bet this thing works like a real champ too....
love to see peeta catch a fly with this contraption.

 

[mynameislance]

I dunno about that fly catcher...shouldn't it have padded walls and a/c so the fly does hurt itself or get hot? Also, the edges look sharp enough to hurt the poor innocent fly

Forget about peta, they are irrelevant.

What is the true metaphor of PBO (President Barack Obama) swatting and Killing the fly?

It symbolizes the swatting down of our freedoms and the extermination of our capitalistic economy.


Think about it... LOL
