PETA Says No More Fly-Killing, Sends Obama a Humane Fly Catcher
June 17, 2009 10:55 PM
ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:
PETA has a few words for President Obama: Brush, don’t kill.
After the President very publically swatted and then killed a fly during an interview with CNBC yesterday, the outspoken animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) said they wished Obama had served a better example.
“We support compassion for the even the smallest animals," says Bruce Friedrich, VP for Policy at PETA. “We support giving insects the benefit of the doubt."
Friedrich says PETA supports "brushing flies away rather than killing them" and was disappointed that the President had gone ahead and squashed the pesky fly.
This afternoon PETA sent a Katcha Bug, a device which traps bugs and allows their safe release back into nature to the White House.
PETA hopes the President will use the catcher but has no far not received communication back from the White House, although they did not ask for specific correspondence.
Friedrich admits that despite his fly-swatting ways, the President has been a champion for animal rights in the past. PETA claims to be pleased by Obama’s denouncement of factory farming, Canadian seal hunting andMichelle Obama’s stance against wearing fur.

Makes me wonder if they'd have a similar stance to eating said insects after killing them... or would making orniments out of them be seen as equally inhumane?
Er... don't fly-fishermen make their own lures sometimes... out of bugs, even?
My gawd! We must rise up and protest the cruelty of it all!!
Damn purple bug zapping lights!
Ban fly paper! Shut down the Gitmo-paper!

I didn't realize this. I wonder if I can find a link,,,,,
No factory farming? really,,,, he said this,,, or voted on this,,,,
I think we need to ramp up factory farming. With all the manufacturing jobs going overseas,,, we need to grow our own.

PETA be damned! If it''s in my house, it's not an invited guest, and it doesn't pay rent; I am free to kill it!

Oh man PETA would love me. If I find a tick on me I impale it on a straight pin. If I find one on my cats, I impale it and every couple hours clip off part of a leg until its dead or is legless and then let it die for a couple days. I wonder if I could claim sexual assault on the ticks. I had found one on my...........ummmm..........manhood, and without my permission. I though PETA was for animals, not insects or arachnids.

So if I've been drinking and a tick or other insect sucks my blood is that going to be considered as contributing to a minor???? Death to the flies. Death to the flies.
