NOT A JOKE--->PETA Sends Obama a Humane Fly Catcher
ABC News/The Lid ^ | 6/18/09 | The Lid

Posted on 06/17/2009 10:11:30 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

Some people just have to get a life. While the mainstream media was just cooing over President Obama's masterful execution of the common housefly, not everyone was amused. Peta the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, were horrified at the inhumane treatment of the bug, and sent the President a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher.

Simply place Katcha Bug over the bug and slowly slide its plastic trapdoor shut. The bug will step onto the trapdoor as it closes, and you can carry Katcha Bug outside, where all you need to do is slide the trap door open, allowing the bug to walk away.

Gee, while the President was committing murder on a six-legged creature, people in Iran were getting beaten up and shot for expressing their political views, I didn't see Peta complain about that.

Geez, I've been doing that catch-and-release trick with a water glass and a piece of paper for years -- when I see something big that I'm willing to let live outside but don't want inside. Like a honeybee or bumble bee, or paper wasp, or a big moth.

But flies? I squish 'em without a second thought. Especially cluster flies. God, I hate cluster flies.

I watched it. It sure looked like a hate crime to me, worse yet, it was black on black.

Looks like........ Obama’s flies are .... coming home to roost.

Flies in the White House!! What’s next, maggots?

I think PETA only gets involved with animal issues.

I’ll go out of my way to spare a ladybug or a praying mantis (the former because they prey on nasties and the latter because the prey on nasties and are just hella cool).

But a freakin’ disease-carrying pest like a fly? Summary execution, with no appeals process!

I only wish I could score some DDT so I could make PETA types twice as angry when I do it. >:)

When I was very young, I happily squished a bug, and a little girl got mad at me and informed me that “it had a life and you took it away”.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but that was my first ever encounter with a liberal.

What is noticable is the "no mercy" for the annoying fly.

What did Obama have on his hand that tempted the fly. I'd say that Obama did not wash his hands.

Does somebody want to argue that the news media isn’t in the tank for leftist causes? How else could a cheap publicity stunt like this garner the attention of a major news organization that is supposed to cover issues of national importance?

"humane fly catcher"

That's nothin'. I have a humane PETA/ACORN/OBAMABOT trap I'll sell ya...just release the rodents in San Francisco or Chicago and reset the trap.

Defend the fly.

Kill the pets.

It is the PETA way.

A good way to take out a fly is to hit it with a rubber band from about two feet. The thing splatters all over!....Is this animal cruelty?
